Ducks Unplugged
Ducks Unplugged is a podcast where two women from different generations sit down and just start talking.
Work, life, relationships, parenting, pop culture — no topic stays in one lane for long, and nothing is off limits. No scripts. No overthinking. Just real conversations, strong opinions, and the occasional tangent that goes exactly where you’d expect… or nowhere close.
Somewhere in the middle, you’ll pick up real perspective on careers, relationships, and life transitions — the kind that sticks with you long after the conversation ends.

40 years. Four decades. A lot of questionable trends.
In this episode of Ducks Unplugged, Ashley and Deanna take a trip back through time — breaking down the last 40 years in 10-year increments: 1996, 2006, 2016, and 2026.
We’re talking about:
- What was cool (and what absolutely was not)
- The trends that didn’t age well (hello Ed Hardy)
- The things we thought were the future… and weren’t (we did not see Blockbuster ever going away!)
This episode is a full dose of nostalgia — from glitter everything and Lisa Frank to MySpace, sitcom TV, and Napster.
Plus:
- A What the Duck where Ashley leans fully into her “old lady hobbies”
- A game of Cool, Cringe, or Ahead of Its Time featuring Producer Cindy!
If you love a good throwback (and a little perspective on how fast things change), this one’s for you.
🎧 Listen now and tell us: which era had your favorite trends?
