The 4th anniversary of the podcast! The birthday of the podcast host! A new podcast logo! There is so much to celebrate!
Episode 169 starts off Year Four of the podcast with loads of fun nostalgia.
It begins with the 3rd installment of Blink & You'll Miss It Retro. This time we will look at toys that were here and gone quickly. Some you might remember, others might be totally new to you, but one thing is for sure, they all did not last very long.
We go way Back In the Day for a heavy dose of humor and weirdness as we do a deep dive into the legend of tabloid newspapers that was Weekly World News. Bat Boy? Elvis is alive? Aliens and Bigfoot are everywhere? What other insane stories were in the pages of this staple of the checkout racks of the grocery store?
It's a special Top 5 this week as we go over the best songs that were #1 on my actual birth date. Luckily when you get to be my age there are plenty of songs to choose from. Which ones made the list?
There will be a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the mysterious death of magic legend Harry Houdini.
