Episode Thought
Hi Kathy I just wanna say this podcast is awesome also can you make a episode on Video consoles and games of the 1990-2000
Great way to go back in time
Very enjoyable podcast. I was a teenager for the majority of the 90’s and really enjoy this little time capsule. Great variety of topics including pop culture, news and a mix of important historical events as well as quirky fun things that could only belong in that decade.
Great research and storytelling. The host paces the episodes well and the recording quality is top-notch and balances. Easy listening while driving, doing chores or whatever needs tending to.
