In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 237: Who Was Max Headroom?, the We Are the World Song, Biggest 70s Sports Stars(3-25-2026)

 

Watch my acting debut film for free, Cape Cod Cthulhu!

Who in the world was Max Headroom? The legacy of the We Are the World charity song. Some of the biggest sports stars of the 1970s.

Episode 237 rolls the weird, raucous, and wholesome bits of pop culture into one show.

We Are the World was a massive undertaking more than 40 years ago. It was a humanitarian crisis taken on by many of the biggest names in music. The song and album sold millions and brought in millions. What is the story behind it?

From 20 minutes in the future came an 80s icon that was also head-scratchingly odd. Max Headroom was a fictional character, company spokesman, and a symbol of the future. Glitchy, pitch-changing, and downright weird at times, you'll get the full story behind the character.

Kids of the 1970s did you have any posters of these people on your walls? The new Top 5 looks at the biggest sports stars of the 70s. Who were the names that dominated the headlines?

There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the first modern shopping mall.

In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 192: 1985 The Year In Pop Culture(4-23-2025)

 

Tell me doctor, where are we going this time? Is it the 50s, or 1999? No, it's 1985.

Episode 192 is about the year 1985 in pop culture. This new style of show will be introduced periodically. In the future, it will include looks at years from 1960 to 2005. 

We kick it off with a deep dive into the world of television in 1985. New shows, the most popular shows, the weirdest shows (hello, Small Wonder). Also an overall lay of the land in the industry.

We go way back in the day and look at the music landscape in 1985. New artists making their debut, the rise of MTV and music videos, new tech and sounds and so much more.

The Top 5 crosses over to the other side as we look at the weirdest and funniest news stories from the year. Watching television while your house burns down around you?

There is as always a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the epic failure that was New Coke.
