In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 150: Listener's Choice - 1988 Pizza Hut Training Video, K-Tel Music Compilations, Discontinued Cereals, Digital Music Origins(6-26-2024)

 

It's Listener's Choice as we celebrate 150 episodes of the podcast!
All that is a part of this week's show was chosen by you, the listeners.
Episode 150 kicks off with a new edition of the vintage employee training videos segment. This time we are going all the way back to 1988 to find out what goes into making pizzas at Pizza Hut. Special drinking game: Have a drink every time someone says their slogan from the time 'Makin' It Great.'
Long before playlists, mix cd's, or even mixtapes, there was a way to listen to multiple popular songs on the same piece of media. In the 1970s and 1980s compilation albums were the in thing and the company that brought them to you was K-Tel Records. We go way Back In the Day to reminisce about the innovative K-Tel compilations.
This week's Top 5 is sure to make you hungry. So many cereals, so few mornings. Though some cereals have become synonymous with breakfast over the last century even more have come along and faded away just as quickly. We will be looking at some of the discontinued cereals that might be due for a comeback.
Of course, there is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the groundbreaking 1994 digital music download event featuring Aerosmith and CompuServe.

In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 142: 90 Years of The Three Stooges; Had You Lived in 1800 Film; Discontinued Sodas; Seinfeld(5-1-2024)

 

Celebrating the 90th anniversary of the iconic comedy group The Three Stooges. An educational short film about life in 1800. Some long-forgotten discontinued sodas.
Episode 142 of the podcast covers a lot of ground.
It begins with a look at the Three Stooges and their legacy in comedy as their very first short film Woman Haters debuted 90 years ago this week. Though it is nearly impossible to sum up the impact of Moe, Larry, Curly, and the rest, in one segment, we will at least have some laughs trying.
From the debut of comedy legends to everyday life more than two centuries ago. We will go way Back In the Day in two ways. Not only is there a history lesson about life in 1800, but it is through the lens of life in 1969. This is Had You Lived Then...America In 1800 an educational short film that will make you appreciate the luxuries of the 2020s.
There are some staples of beverage coolers in convenience stores. Some sodas feel like they have been around forever. This week's Top 5 will not be featuring any of those. Instead, we will look at the discontinued sodas over the decades that tried, and ultimately failed, to make a dent in a Coke and Pepsi world.
There is also a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule which celebrates the birthday of the one and only Jerry Seinfeld.
