Famous and infamous tabloid talk shows. Some of the myths you believed growing up. How school was different in the 1980s.
Episode 160 of the podcast is a trip back in time as kids go back to school.
It begins with some shows that might have been on rotation during school sick days in the 80s. With the recent death of pioneering talk show host Phil Donohue we take a look at his revolutionary show as well as some of the other tabloid-style talk shows that he helped usher in during the 1980s.
Iconic author Edgar Allan Poe said, “Believe nothing you hear and only one half that you see.” This goes double for myths you believed as kids. We go way Back In the Day to discuss some of these myths from the innocent(the moon is chasing the car), to the more ominous(gum stays in your stomach for 7 years).
In honor of Back to School this week's Top 5 looks at some ways that school was different in the 1980s compared to the present day. From technology to fashion, and some actual education, it's all here.
There is also a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the very first science fiction movie A Trip To the Moon.
