Let's talk about the 2000's

Remember the distinct crackle of a dial-up modem connecting, or the specific thrill of waiting for your favorite song to play on TRL? Let's talk about the 2000's is a deep, conversational dive into the decade that shaped a generation, hosted by someone who lived through it all. We go far beyond simple nostalgia to examine the music, movies, fashion, and technology that defined the era, asking why they mattered then and what they say about us now. Each episode unpacks a specific cultural artifact or moment-from the rise of reality TV and pop-punk anthems to the dawn of social media and iconic teen dramas-placing it within the broader context of society and the arts. This isn't just a recap; it's a critical yet fond look at the performing arts scene, the commentary embedded in the media we consumed, and the lasting cultural fingerprints of those ten years. You'll hear thoughtful analysis, personal anecdotes, and a genuine appreciation for a uniquely transitional time. Tune in to this podcast for a smart, engaging conversation that connects the dots between the sounds we played on our MP3 players and the world we live in today.
