Who you were before you became who you are.

The things we loved growing up didn't just entertain us. They helped shape us. The music we listened to, the movies and TV shows we watched, the toys and games we obsessed over, and even the snacks we couldn't get enough of became part of the stories that made us who we are.

The Room We Wanted is a nostalgia podcast about those memories, the people we we... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Room Alex & Austin Ward Wanted: Nine Inch Nails, Goldeneye 007, X-Men Figures & Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Q: What is it that you both feel about this game, this particular game, made it so special? Was it the paintball mode, the multiplayer or the experience you had with your friends around the game?
Austin says their love of James Bond made the game immediately appealing, while its four-player split-screen multiplayer made it a social experience. The friends crowded close to a small TV, followed rules against screen-peeking and spent hours laughing and playing together.
The Room Alex & Austin Ward Wanted: Nine Inch Nails, Goldeneye 007, X-Men Figures & Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Q: Where in Hembree's music does Nine Inch Nails color the sound, even if it's in a less obvious or unexpected way?
Alex and Austin say Nine Inch Nails informs their synths, guitars, soundscapes, production choices and live lighting. They particularly value the band's use of negative space and long, groove-driven passages, which they incorporate into Hembree's songs.
The Room Dylan Chambers Wanted: Mambo No. 5, Ace Ventura, Pokémon & Warheads
Q: What single thing do you still feel most connected to from that four-item mix, and why?
Pokémon, because it was the first time I experienced a real sense of community—trading, friendships, and neighborhoods coming together around something that was larger than just a game.
The Room Dylan Chambers Wanted: Mambo No. 5, Ace Ventura, Pokémon & Warheads
Q: Was there a producer or musician you'd love to work with someday?
Paul McCartney tops the list as a dream collaboration, followed by Bruno Mars and Silk Sonic, because of their ability to fuse retro and contemporary sounds in a way that resonates across generations.
The Room Dylan Chambers Wanted: Mambo No. 5, Ace Ventura, Pokémon & Warheads
Q: Now, before we actually get into the room, take us back to the person you were and the threads you were rocking at that age.
I was into Mambo No. 5, Ace Ventura, Pokémon cards, and Warheads; each one influenced my energy and humor, and all of them connected me to a sense of fun and community that carried into my music.
