Robbie-Ann's own brush with The Darkside, courtesy of 80s club music and her first job at a teen dance club. Amy's street-education, and how she channeled it into writing books. Amy's heartfelt story of how she steered her life back on track after her friend's tragic death. Robbie-Ann's own story of losing her younger brother to suicide, and the difficult process of healing through grief. 70s and 80s childhood music: a bittersweet portal to nostalgia.
