Headlong: Surviving Y2K
December 31, 1999: The world braced for disaster as midnight approached. Then, nothing happened. The hysteria over the Y2K computer bug quickly became an afterthought; a punch-line. In Surviving Y2K, Dan Taberski takes you back to the turn of the millennium to meet the people for whom it was anything but a joke — computer coders, conspiracy theorists, survivalists, and true believers — as they each face their own version of the apocalypse. And Dan tells a new millennium story of his own, about a decision that could destroy his life. Headlong is Dan Taberski’s documentary podcast that explores the lives of overlooked people, moments and events in our culture. Season 1 is Missing Richard Simmons. Season 3 is Running From COPS.

I’ve listened to everything he’s released. He and Jonathan Goldstein have similar styles of storytelling and I’m here for it. Dan - if you see this - you’re amazing man. Thanks for all the great shows!!
This show is podcast crack!

I can’t stop listening because: 1) I can’t get enough of Dan’s sardonic and witty narration. 2) The topics are super interesting 3) and are presented in a fair and balanced way 4) using the fascinating stories, accounts, and viewpoints of real people. But, honestly, it’s Dan. I’d listen to him read a repair manual….
Amazing find!

In the sea of podcasts, this is one of the jewels (should that metaphor be pearl?). In any case, this former Daily Show writer entertains us with perspectives sometimes too close to home, and other times stranger than fiction. I lived through Y2K and had no idea all of all the intrigue and odd things people were doing. Great entertainment, we listened on a road trip and the drive just flew by.
