Thank you for tuning in! In this week's episode, I had the distinct honor of speaking with Chase, DeeDee, Albert, and Damon, all original cast members of the All-New Mickey Mouse Club, which debuted in 1989. Along with their fellow castmate Tiffani, they formed the pop group 'The Party' in the early 1990s.  We talked about their early years, their time on MMC, and their experiences with The Party. Additionally, we discussed grief and loss in relation to their bandmate, Tiffani, as well as their live concerts, interactions with fans, and friendship. I believe you’re going to love this episode!
During the episode, we referenced a lot of different ways to connect with the Party, as well as some other interesting things to check out!  Below are some links:

Hello and thank you for tuning in to the show!  In this episode, we will take a deep dive into another edition of your favorite school supply brands, from Elmer's Glue to Eastpak, and more!  This is a continuation of an episode I released in 2023 on the same topic, but with a brand-new list! 
Other items discussed in this episode, with links:
Friend and frequent guest of the show, Jason Lady, and I discussed commercial jingles during one of his appearances.  This episode was referenced in the beautiful letter I received from a listener. 
Recently, I was a guest on the fabulous Retro Nostalgia Podcast.  You can find that episode here. Chad and Cristina have also become great friends and are so encouraging!  They do such great work with their show :)

Thank you for tuning in!  On today's episode, I am joined by 3rd-time guest, author and pop culture expert, Mr. Chris Morgan.  In this episode, we discuss our top 5 "hot takes" on 90s pop culture. We did not share our lists until we recorded the episode, and I think you will find our perspectives interesting, unexpected, and hilarious! 
Here are a few places where you can find Chris:

Chris has been on the show on two other occasions.  On the first episode, we talked about '90s television, and on the second, he answered 25 questions about pop culture.  Both episodes were a lot of fun, and I highly recommend checking them out! 
I also brought up Sticker Mule and the Rewind Envelope on this episode; please check them out!

Thank you for tuning in!  On today's episode, we are discussing an infamous comic strip character who had a profound impact on my life, and that would be Dennis the Menace!  Join me as we look back to his first appearance in newspapers in 1951, and all of the incarnations we've experienced over the last 75 years.  
In this episode, I mentioned my appearance on another fellow Pop Culture Podcast show, Retromade.  You can find this awesome show here. 
I was a guest a year or two ago, where we discussed the 1993 film, Dennis the Menace.  You can find that episode here. 
I also mentioned my friends over at the His and Hers Gen X Podcast a few times; you can find their fantastic show here.
