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 156: Woodstock '94, Weirdest Atari Games Ever, the Original Reality TV Show, End of the DuMont Network(8-7-2024)

A sequel to a beloved music festival. The OG of reality TV shows. Some of the weirdest video games Atari could create.
Episode 156 of the podcast will combine the warm and fuzzy with the confusing as we travel through the halls of nostalgia.
It kicks off with a trip back 30 years. The original Woodstock was a seminal moment of the 20th century. The artists who played it became legends and those in attendance will never forget it. Naturally, a sequel was in order, and that came in 1994. How did this spiritual successor to the original do?
Reality television like it or not has been a staple of network programming for over 30 years. Some shows have become iconic while many others were quickly thrown in the trash. There had to be an original though. This week we go way Back In the Day and look at that OG of reality TV, Candid Camera.
In a brand new Top 5 we will delve into the weird as we look at some of the weirdest video games Atari ever created. Not saying these games are necessarily bad, just that the premise behind them makes you wonder what substances the creators might have been on.
A new This Week In History and Time Capsule will showcase the downfall of one of the first television networks, the DuMont Network.
