Some of the biggest failures of 1990s products. Some of the most dangerous vehicles ever created. The rise of Napster and the dawn of music downloading in general. The nuclear disaster at Three Mile Island.
Episode 138 of the podcast has warm and fuzzy nostalgia, horrific and scary events, some laughs and some head-shaking all in one show.
It begins with a look back to the bygone days of the 1990s. Some products burst onto the scene and changed the way people lived their lives. This segment will not include any of those. We will kick the show off with the products that came in with major hype only to flame out. These are some of the 1990s biggest product failures.
The 1990s also saw the dawning of music downloading. As the Internet became more easily accessible things that are common today had yet to come into existence. Music downloading legally also led to piracy. The website Napster was at the forefront of this when it debuted in 1999. We will go way Back In the Day to look at both the rise and fall of Napster and the rise of music downloading in general.
Vehicle safety standards have greatly improved over the decades. However, in this week's Top 5, we are going to look at some of the most dangerous vehicles ever to grace the roads. Did you own any of these?
In a new This Week In History and Time Capsule we will get up close and personal with the nuclear disaster at Three Mile Island.
