Have you wondered why you became who you are? Rad History will walk you through history and the influence marketing and social engineering shapes then molds each of us. A little different from one to the next. Still, you were/are molded seconds by seconds. Brian makes it fun, engaging, and grounding. From retail to hair bands. Each is a journey that you lived through.
Brian's podcast are always good, he does a great job summarizing interesting things in history
Good content, but the structure of forcing guests (who seem kinda random and not experts or anything) to read Brian’s researched factoids back to him is kinda odd. Also, please fix your cover art. 80s and 90s are not possessive. Drives me nuts!
As I noted in the title, this is a nice idea with some interesting topics from the 1980s. It, however, sounds like someone is reading a report that they made for a teacher without a lot of natural, pausing, tone, and inflection.
Great show about random pop culture phenomenons. It brings up nostalgic memories.
