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.
So there's no new episode of 20TH CENTURY POPCAST today but that doesn't mean you have to go a week without the show. In place of a slightly anticipated, newly recorded, insightfully researched pop culture discussion, listen to this rebroadcast of EPISODE 07 from back on March 2nd 2017. Its Bob and Tim at their earliest discussing the likes of THE LAST STAR-FIGHTER, FRIENDS and WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. And what results is an expose of how these pieces of pop art influenced their own adolescent behaviors.
And then be assured that 20TH CENTURY POPCAST will return next week with a POP 5-filled 75th anniversary episode.
POCAST SHOUT-ABOUT: To hear a more recent Tim Blevins discussing aspects of the 1980s tune in next Tuesday to FLASH GORDON MINUTE, a thrice-a-week discussion of the 1980 sci-fi spectacle hosted by friend of the show BRAD MENDENHALL (EPISODE 60) and ERIC DEUTSCH. Actually, TUNE IN NOW to catch up on the minutes you've missed.
