The definitive GenX late-night talk show. An unexpected musical comeback. Underrated 1980s moments.
Summer is unofficially here, and Episode 246 of the podcast brings a fresh batch of nostalgia unlikely to spoil in the hot sun.
Cue up the dog pound because we're starting off with a look back at the unique and highly influential Arsenio Hall Show. It broke barriers and broke the rules of late-night talk shows. Arsenio's show felt like something created for the younger generation at the time, and we will get into the details.
Here they come. They could have been a quirky 1960s footnote, but instead, The Monkees made an unlikely and hugely successful comeback twenty years after they debuted. What started as a marathon of their hit TV show on MTV in 1986 soon became a full-fledged return of Monkee-Mania.
The Top 5 is focusing on the lesser remembered and underrated moments from the 1980s. Pop culture, sports, music, and technology are all represented this week.
There is, as always, a brand-new This Week In History and Time Capsule featuring the life and career of music icon Bob Dylan.
