The Pop Culture Preservation Society is a podcast dedicated to preserving and elevating the unsung pop culture nuggets of the classic Gen X childhood. Were you there when Marcia broke her nose? Tiger Beat delivered the news? And John Travolta was stuck in that plastic bubble? Then this is the podcast for you!
Join enthusiastic fangirls Carolyn, Kristin and Michelle — die-hard members of the Big Wheel Generation — as we discuss and dissect the crushes, clothes, books, movies, songs, tv and toys that shaped our youth. We’ll also chat about the role nostalgia plays in our lives and how recalling these positive memories increases our sense of connectedness and well-being. And really, isn’t that something we could all use a little more of right now?
We hope you’ll join us as we wrap ourselves in the comfort of many of the pop culture moments that defined us when we were younger … and still bring us joy all these years later.
Nanu nanu, keep on truckin', and may the force be with you all!

On Your FM Dial: 1983 -- SUPERSIZED EDITION
Welcome to this summer rerun of on your FM dial 1983. Just like when you were a kid, and all the TV shows went away for the summertime, and you watched all those shows, and reruns, we're doing the same thing here at the Pop Culture Preservation Society. But this episode is going to be SUPERSIZED! We've added a fun opening conversation where we chat about music writer, Rob Sheffield's, Rolling Stone article..."The 100 Best Songs of 1983, the Year Pop Went Crazy." You'll be as surprised as we were as to some of his song choices.
Then stay and listen to our encore of Episode 106 "On Your FM Dial: 1983." Quite possibly the best year for music in the 80s! We’re on your FM Dial in 1983 talking about (and singing) all our favorites, and pondering just what it was that was responsible for this new and TOTALLY AWESOME music (hello, 2nd British Invasion). Is YOUR favorite 1983 song mentioned? Crimp your hair, throw on some heavy eyeliner and join us in this truly singable episode!

John Sebastian and Our Viral Moment
What do singer-songwriter John Sebastian and hip-hop producer Pete Rock have in common? They were both instrumental in the Pop Culture Preservation Society’s first viral moment.

PCPS Town Hall: YOUR Questions (and ours) Answered!
Join us for another Town Hall episode, where we answer some of your fun questions! Things get silly — and surprisingly serious — as we talk about everything from our favorite now-defunct mall store to who would play us in a TV movie to wondering if we’d have been friends in middle school. (And trust us, our answers are NOT what you’d expect!) Who thinks Ann B. Davis should play her in the movie? Who wore painful Candies and hobbled around like a 3-year-old in her mother’s shoes just because everyone else was wearing them? And which of us snuck into her house post-curfew and crawled up the stairs naked? It’s a fun, enlightening conversation you won’t want to miss!

The Gen X Middle School Dance: Therapy Not Included
At no time were our full range of GenX adolescent emotions more keenly felt than the night of the middle school dance. It was a night of awkward crushes, questionable dance moves, and enough pre-teen angst to rival a Judy Blume novel. Join Carolyn, Kristin and Michelle as they share their most memorable middle school dance memories along with the songs that cemented those memories in our minds. Listen to learn who experienced the second best kiss of her entire life at a middle school dance and whose parents had the audacity to chaperone one. So hop into your DeLorean and time travel with the PCPS to the GenX Middle School Dance.
The NPR article by Linda Holmes that inspired the episode "1980s Middle School Slow Dance Songs' was the playlist I didn't know I needed."

USA for Africa and "The Greatest Night In Pop"
You thought you knew the story behind We Are The World, one of the best-selling songs of all time? Watch The Greatest Night in Pop on Netflix and listen to this episode, and we bet you’ll think again. We’re breaking down this incredible documentary story (which sometimes includes way too many main characters!) and bringing you our favorite revelations (Michael’s missing boa constrictor! Stevie’s face-palming suggestion! Dionne’s mysterious visitor! Lionel’s remarkable patience! The sweet and all-too-pure “yearbook” signing party … and so much more). You’ll be singing this beautiful song differently after listening, we promise, and believing that it truly was the greatest night in pop.

Benji: GenX's Top Dog
If Generation X had a dog, it would (without a doubt) be Benji, the scrappy little terrier who barked his way into our hearts in 1974 … and remains there to this day. Join us as we (rather passionately!) relive this iconic movie scene by scene and bark by bark, still getting traumatized by the sight of those kids in GAGS and that awful KICK (if you know, you know). Does this “most talked-about, highly-acclaimed family picture of our time … maybe of all time” hold up today? Do we think Benji may have been the most underrated actor of our generation? Listen now to find out!
