What was Grunge Culture? What were some of the most memorable commercial jingles of the 1980s? What were some of the most dangerous toys ever made? Whose birthday is the same day as when this podcast drops?
Episode 159 attempts to answer these questions.
It begins with a look at Grunge music. However, this goes far deeper into the culture that surrounded the music. We look at the fashion, the attitude, and of course the music that helped make this a defining experience for many 90s kids.
We go way Back In the Day to share some earworms in the form of 1980s commercial jingles. Many good, a few bad, all memorable. Did you want to be a Toys r Us kid?
Santa would not leave these toys. This week's Top 5 looks at some of the most dangerous toys ever made. Broken ankles? Sharp and heavy objects? Extreme heat? Actual radioactive material? It's all in here.
There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the massive Krakatoa volcano eruption.
