Episode 163: The CD Turns 40, 1970s Fast Food Fails, Road Trip 2024 Part 2, A NYC Time Capsule(9-25-2024)
The compact disc hits middle age. Wacky fast food fails of the disco era. More sights from a Northern New England road trip.
Episode 163 kicks off autumn by falling into some fun nostalgia.
It begins with Part 2 of a recent 3-day road trip into New Hampshire, Vermont, and Western Massachusetts. We'll get into more places that are worth visiting including a spot on my morbid Bucket List. What places might need to be skipped? We'll uncover all of them.
For many Gen-Xers, the compact disc was the definition of high-tech when it came to music media. Now as the CD hits its 40th anniversary we go way Back In the Day to look at how the CD changed music and how consuming music has changed over the decades.
The 1970s were a unique time, with disco music, Pet Rocks, and odd choices by fast food establishments. This week's Top 5 looks at 1970s fast food fails including some by giants of the industry.
The new This Week In History and Time Capsule gets meta as we look back at a time capsule buried in New York City as part of the World's Fair in 1939.
