Episode 197: 1999 The Year In Pop Culture(5-28-2025)

This week we're gonna party like it's 1999!

Episode 197 is all about what was going on in the world of pop culture in the year 1999. Music, television, weird news stories, and more will be brought to you in this show.

It begins with a look back at the world of television in 1999. New shows(Family Guy), hit shows(Friends), underrated gems(Freaks and Geeks), and more. There is also a look at the overall landscape of the industry as a whole.

We go way back in the day for a deep dive into music in 1999. The return of pop, new teen idols, the end of Woodstock, the rise of digital music, and so much more.

This week's Top 5 is chock full of weird and wacky news stories from the year. Chimp show protests, geese v. rollercoasters, and the Y2K panic are included.

There is of course a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around what made a Cape Cod summer special back then.

This entire episode is a celebration of the birthday of my oldest niece, Kaleigh. I hope that you enjoy it!
