20th Century Pop! 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.
OUVRE COMPENSATING: "He's a real Noel-where Man (formerly Liam It Be)" (1994-1998) There was a time when the biggest music act on the planet shot straight out of Britain to invade the U.S. Some would say they were bigger than Jesus. They would would say "eff the Beatles." And this episode Bob will say they were his collegiate education on the majesty of pop music (to clarify ... its an episode about Oasis ... not The Monkees .. but that was probably pretty clear).
