20th Century Pop! is a podcast that tries to understand the present by living in the past. Each episode hosts Bob and Tim take a sociological look at the pop culture of the '80s and '90s. Its a ruining of their childhood that hopefully explains how they became adults.
LIST-A-RAMA-A-GO-GO: "A missed opportunity to talk about Sponge." (1992-1995) When it comes to pop culture, Bob and Tim are completists. Be it thirteen un-carded Dreaknok figures or Louise Simonson's run on X-Factor their collections are always the full body of work. Well, almost always, as there was a moment in the mid 90s when they fell hard for some albums without following the artists. Its an audio anomaly they hope to unravel as they cling to single CDs by Foo Fighters, Goo Goo Dolls and Smashing Pumpkins. Not a typo ... they're going to talk about the Goo Goo Dolls.
