Life Before Mobile Phones: A Nostalgia Episode

Sinéad, Nessa and Alvagh talk about growing up before mobile phones. Waiting by the landline for someone to ring, tapping payphones for free calls, three TV channels, taping songs off the radio, meeting people at Clery's clock with no way to contact them if plans changed. They also cover old beauty habits like sunbeds, baby oil tanning and DIY hair dye gone wrong, plus school with 40 to 50 kids in a class and how different growing up was depending on which side of Dublin you were from. It ends with a debate on whether phones and fitness trackers are actually good for us, and a challenge to go six hours without a phone.
