    Supermarket Sweep!

    My friend Jess Murray joins me as we historically analyze the game show Supermarket Sweep! The conclusion we come to is fairly obvious, but also super important in larger context, this show accentuates consumerism culture in America. Check out an episode from the 60's and from the 90's, it is a very entertaining show to watch!   1967: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se4syko6Law 1994: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmbot1p0Eb0

    Roseanne Conner's, "Traditional" Thanksgiving w/ Brittney Miller!

    We further discuss what a traditional Thanksgiving is through an episode of Roseanne! How is this different from the last episode and why is it important that Roseanne shows us this view of an American family? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x239ycw

    What The Hell Is A Traditional American Thanksgiving?!

    I am at camp this week! (yay!) We delve into a, "how to" video from the 1940's and talk about a, "traditional American Thanksgiving." But what is a traditional American Thanksgiving even? To this particular video it means a lovely time spent with friends and family while displaying good manners! Is this what Thanksgiving is to everyone though?? Heck no! Let's keep exploring! But until then, here is the primary source goods!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4_zGR_nWRw

    1999, Battle Bots, and the Legend of Y2K2

    Sam Miller joins me again as we talk about a Pay Per View from 1999 on Battle Bots! This is a really fun one! Here is the PPV event that you don't have to pay for because it's from 1999 and already happened! Ain't history a bargain?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16mf0KPLsVk

    Celebrating Autumn With Little Bear

    Sorry for this being late! It's a fun one! Fall is here and when I think of seasons in general a cartoon that comes to mind is Little Bear! The show was created in the 90's, but looks like something out of the 50's and 60's! A very whimsical, light hearted episode that will hopefully put you in the mood as it gets colder outside! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV9-hp6TMug

    Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?!?

    Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego was another popular show on PBS! I talk aout why this was so helpful in inspiring an interest for history in children! One note, I talk aout the music genre, "rockapella" but I elieve accidentally call it, "rockabilly." Sorry aout that, but anyway, here is the episode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu7w734OaBg

    Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego!?!

    This one went up late and I apologize! It is worth it though, because it will also be on youtube as a video episode in the short future! My amazing friend Sam Han is a whizz with video production and we are working together to bring more content like this! Your patience is appreciated! In this episode I delve into the show, "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego" and how it got kids thinking about geography and travel. It was and is an excellent kids show! Here is one where the entire Edmonton Oilers hockey team gets stolen! Yikes!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRXGyZro3Qw And here is a link to play the game: https://archive.org/details/msdos_Where_in_the_World_is_Carmen_Sandiego_Deluxe_1990
