In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 192: 1985 The Year In Pop Culture(4-23-2025)

 


Tell me doctor, where are we going this time? Is it the 50s, or 1999? No, it's 1985.

Episode 192 is about the year 1985 in pop culture. This new style of show will be introduced periodically. In the future, it will include looks at years from 1960 to 2005. 

We kick it off with a deep dive into the world of television in 1985. New shows, the most popular shows, the weirdest shows (hello, Small Wonder). Also an overall lay of the land in the industry.

We go way back in the day and look at the music landscape in 1985. New artists making their debut, the rise of MTV and music videos, new tech and sounds and so much more.

The Top 5 crosses over to the other side as we look at the weirdest and funniest news stories from the year. Watching television while your house burns down around you?

There is as always a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the epic failure that was New Coke.
