This is The First Time I Loved This - a podcast about theTV shows, music, films and moments that shaped us, long before we realised they were doing that.

In the very first episode of The First Time I Loved This, I’m going back to where it all started - sitting in front of the TV, falling in love with a show that didn’t just entertain us, but quietly shaped who we became.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was the beginning of everything for me.This episode is about growing up alongside Buffy. It's about strong female characters, late-90s TV, and the comfort of knowing something was waiting for you every week.

I talk about the moments that stayed with me - the humour, the darkness, the heartbreak - and why watching Buffy now, as a mum, hits completely differently than it did the first time around.

If you loved Buffy, if you miss when TV felt slower, or if you’ve ever realised that a show helped you become you… this one’s for you.

Description

We all have things we loved long before adult life got loud.

The First Time I Loved This is a nostalgic podcast about the pop culture that raised us - the shows, music and moments from the 90s and early 2000s that quietly shaped our confidence, identity and sense of belonging.

Hosted by radio presenter Saira Franklin, each episode looks back with warmth, humour and hindsight, unpacking why these things mattered more than we realised at the time.

Think Buffy, Saturday morning TV, Blockbuster nights and the comfort of shared memories - this is nostalgia with meaning.
