In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 257: Super Nintendo's Debut, Legacy of the Original Woodstock, 1990s Celebrity Crushes(8-19-2026)

 

The original music festival. The follow-up to the king of video game consoles. Some favorite 1990s celebrity crushes.

Episode 257 has a batch of Gen-X nostalgia, hot and fresh out of the oven like Poppin' Fresh dough.

It starts with a look back at the original, and many say, greatest, music festival. Woodstock occurred this week in history in 1969 and changed not only music but the culture of a generation. However, it ended up being a success pulled from the jaws of failure. A larger-than-expected crowd, food shortages, bad weather, and more could have sunk the event before it happened. Instead, it helped make it one of the most important events in music history.

Now you're playing with power...super power. How do you follow up the most successful video game console ever made? If you are Nintendo, you take your time. 35 years ago this week, the 16-bit Super Nintendo made its debut in America. Sega Genesis had a two-year head start, so how would the SNES fare? Far better than they could have imagined. 

How many of these celebrities adorned the walls of your bedroom? This week's Top 5 is all about the biggest 1990s celebrity crushes. Male, female, actors, musicians, it's all covered here.

Of course, there is a brand-new This Week in History and Time Capsule, featuring the ultimate bad-luck story of a person being struck by two consecutive foul balls at a baseball game.

In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 213: 1980s Home Workout Videos, Forgotten 1970s Cereals, 1980s Celebrity Crushes, The Hobbit(9-24-2025)

 

*Donate on GoFundMe to help me direct my first short film!*

The home workout craze of the 1980s. Some forgotten cereals from the 1970s. Top celebrity crushes of the 80s.

Fall is officially here but the Gen-X nostalgia remains the same. Episode 213 is a loaded show.

It kicks off with a fall back into fitness. The 1980s were a perfect storm of the rise of VCRs and cable television. This culminated in a tidal wave of fitness shows. These were on TV early in the morning, or could be bought on VHS at local stores. We look back at the home fitness craze and some of the classic workout tapes and shows from the 80s. 

Not all cereals can dominate breakfast like Rice Krispies or Frosted Flakes. Some of them come in with a roar and quickly fall off the map. We go back in the day to look at some forgotten 1970s cereals. This includes several wacky mascots that need to be seen to be believed.

This week's Top 5 scours the walls of 1980s high school students to find out the biggest celebrity crushes of the decade. Whose poster did you have?

There is, of course, a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking at the original publishing of the classic book The Hobbit.
