In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 229: Remember Disposable Cameras?, The Pink Panther Is Really Popular, Most Totally 80s TV Shows(1-28-2026)

Order a copy of my debut film, Cape Cod Cthulhu!

Do you remember disposable cameras? Did you have any idea how popular the Pink Panther was? How totally 80s are these TV shows?

Episode 229 seeks to answer all of these GenX nostalgia questions.

We start off with a look at one of the most beloved and underrated pieces of technology from the 1990s, the disposable camera. Point, shoot, and enjoy. No longer did we have to spend hundreds on professional equipment. It was a rite of passage in the 90s to pick up a disposable camera and take loads of random photos and hope a few came out okay.

It is rarified air to have a YouTube channel with more than a billion views. One such channel belongs to an overlooked icon of animation. The Pink Panther began as an intro to a comedy film and became one of the most recognizable and popular animated characters in history. Why has this smooth cat endured for so long?

What are the most totally 80s televsion shows ever? This week's Top 5 looks to answer that question. The fashion, the lingo, the storylines, and more just scream 1980s in these choices.
