A sequel to a beloved music festival. The OG of reality TV shows. Some of the weirdest video games Atari could create.
Episode 156 of the podcast will combine the warm and fuzzy with the confusing as we travel through the halls of nostalgia.
It kicks off with a trip back 30 years. The original Woodstock was a seminal moment of the 20th century. The artists who played it became legends and those in attendance will never forget it. Naturally, a sequel was in order, and that came in 1994. How did this spiritual successor to the original do?
Reality television like it or not has been a staple of network programming for over 30 years. Some shows have become iconic while many others were quickly thrown in the trash. There had to be an original though. This week we go way Back In the Day and look at that OG of reality TV, Candid Camera.
In a brand new Top 5 we will delve into the weird as we look at some of the weirdest video games Atari ever created. Not saying these games are necessarily bad, just that the premise behind them makes you wonder what substances the creators might have been on.
A new This Week In History and Time Capsule will showcase the downfall of one of the first television networks, the DuMont Network.
