In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 241: 1966 The Year In Pop Culture(4-22-2026)

 


Watch my acting debut film for free, Cape Cod Cthulhu!

In Episode 241 we get our kicks back in 1966! We are diving into television, music, movies, and all things pop culture in 1966.

Here they come, walkin' down the street. Television in 1966 was the crossroads between black and white and color, the same old same old and new and exciting, and crafting shows to appeal to the younger generation. The Monkees, Batman, and Star Trek were new hits. My Mother the Car? Not so much.

It's all incense and peppermints as we look at all things Music in 1966. The sharp turn from safe and bland pop into psychedelics and counterculture. The Beatles, the Stones, Dylan, and the Beach Boys dominated while Hendrix, Cream, and Simon and Garfunkel staked their claim as next up.

The Top 5 features weird and funny news stories from 1966. The Beatles as butchers? A tight pants strike? A nude sunbather controversy? They're all here and more.

This Week In History and Time Capsule looks at the infamous Portage, Ohio UFO chase. Stay tuned for some classic 1966 commercials as well!
