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.
BINGE AND PODCAST: “Still with one sixth Ross.“ (1995-1999) It would be odd if this episode was rating and debating people you didn’t actually know (or, given the listenership, were). That’s why Bob and Tim are instead looking at the 90s sitcom staple that wasn’t Two Guys A Girl And A Pizza Place. So main line that latte and make the best of that vest as they traverse the highs and lows of Must See TV’s FRIENDS. Again.
