  • Wow

    Calling the United Healthcare CEO unaliving an “assassination” is repulsive on top of hilarious. Sorry. Unsubscribed.

  • Love this podcast!

    I was born in 1980, so I absolutely love this podcast covering a decade that I can really remember well. It is well-researched and written, sound clips…I will write a more thorough review later, but had to express my excitement after one week and not being able to get enough. Thank you!

  • Good but…

    I like this podcast however there’s editing issues with at least 2 episodes with the Donovan Bailey episode I thought it would’ve ended soon about half the time but it seems like a part of sports podcast episode was copied and pasted into the second half of the episode to make it longer. And there’s so much more to talk about and agrees with other reviewers about kinda being pushy with woke liberal content or views which isn’t needed. Would rate higher if it’s not a part of it and the episode wi... more

  • One of the best podcasts we’ve ever listened to

    We travel across Europe a lot by car and for many years Kathy’s ‘History of the 90s’ has been the soundtrack to our adventures.

    I can’t rate her research, delivery and enthusiasm for her subjects highly enough.

    Kathy’s podcasts take me back to a decade that is so often overlooked for the 80s and 2000s, and every single one has reminded me of a pop culture moment that was important on both sides of the Atlantic.

    One of the best!
