Juvenalia is a pop culture nostalgia show where Alan Maguire, Sarah Maria Griffin, and Andrea Cleary invite interesting people to tell them about something they were obsessed with when they were young; how they felt about it then and how they feel about it now. We've talked about books, films, tv shows, musicians, computer games; we're interested in it all! It's nice, you'll like it.

episode 189: 189: The OC with Jessa Hastings
Welcome to The OC bitch! Jessa Hastings, author of the Magnolia Parks Universe books, joins us as we put on our collared t-shirts and huge belts to talk about The OC! We talk about how Adam Brody changed nerds forever, finding Marissa annoying, Sandy and Kirsten, the music, the clothes, and how The OC is directly responsible for the scripted reality explosion of the mid-noughties. It’s a good time.
Jessa is @jessa.hastings. The latest book in the Magnolia Parks Universe, Into The Dark, is out now.
Alan is @alan_maguire. Juvenalia is his main thing right now but he’s doing a bit of stand up here and there.
