20th Century Popcast is a podcast that tries to understand the present by living in the past. Each week 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.
POOP CULTURE: "Foul-ups, bleeps and ... wait, why are we broadcasting these?" Bob and Tim record a pop culture discussion every week. But what makes it to air is actually a truncated version of their actual interaction. So if you've ever found yourself wondering what doesn't make it online (mis-spoken moments, unrelated ramblings, tenuous tensions between hosts) here's the proper reel to gag on.

Then watch what his 10 year-old self considered the hipper alternative with Steve Lawrence and Don Rickles on FOUL-UPS, BLEEPS AND BLUNDERS.
