Shag Carpet Confessions

Personal Journals

© 2026 Rogue Media Network Website

Shag Carpet Confessions is a warm, funny trip back through the 1970s: Saturday-morning television, banana-seat bikes, wish books, drive-ins, mixtapes, casseroles, corduroy, purple ink, holiday specials, and the rooms where everyone once gathered. Each episode finds the people, labor, longing, and love hiding inside the objects we remember.

Jaws, disaster movies, drive-ins, horror hosts, frightening television, and the communal experience of being scared together.
