Episode 268: Pop Culture Profile - Bart Simpson, the iPod Debuts, Weird Things Popular In the 1970s(11-11-2026)

Send us Fan Mail A new segment debuts. A game changer in music that debuted 25 years ago. Some weird things people liked in the 1970s. It's a storm of Gen-X nostalgia, both figuratively and literally, this week on Episode 268. Keep your ears open for the severe thunderstorms that were rolling through during recording.  The show starts off looking back 25 years to the launch of the original iPod. Apple changed the game with this revolutionary portable digital music player. The world of music has not been the same since. We take a deep dive into the what, when, and how of the iPod and its effect on the world of tech and music. After six years, new segments are still premiering on the podcast. This week, enjoy the very first Pop Culture Profile. These will be recurring and will be a sort of biography of some sort of fictional character from the world of pop culture. I could think of none better to be the subject of the debut than Bart Simpson. Not everything that was popular can be explained. In a new Top 5, we look at some weird things that were popular in the 1970s. Fashion, music, fads, and more are on the list. Did you enjoy any of these? There is a new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the hugely important event of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
