It's going to be a fun episode, I tell you what!

Episode 206 is loaded with Gen-X nostalgia to help you cope with the dog days of summer.

It kicks off with an in-depth look at one of the most underrated yet renowned animated shows. King of the Hill graced the airways for 13 seasons with a mix of humor and heart. Now it is making its return after 15 years to Hulu. We will look at what made the show so beloved and why it is deserving of its reboot.

Getting your driver's license is a rite of passage for teenagers. How we got to that point depends on when you grew up. Most likely, it included some form of driver's education. We'll go back in the day for some of the history of driver's ed, along with a few embarrassing stories from my own journey to becoming a licensed driver.

The 1980s were the decade when movie soundtracks became every bit as important as the movies themselves. Sometimes more important. On this week's Top 5 we look at some of the best 1980s movie soundtracks. Did you have any of them in your vinyl collection?

There is, of course, a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the death of iconic Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia.
