Some odd home workout tapes from the 80s. Some scandalous music moments from the 60s. The final concert from the King.

Episode 249 ushers in summer with a fresh blast of GenX nostalgia.

It all begins with fitness. Everyone wants a killer summer body, but are these workouts going to get you there? We look at some weird 1980s home workout tapes and just why they are seen as weird. Teens, seniors, exotic dancers, horseback riders, and more have their grainy moment in the sun.

Elvis Presley was the King of Rock and Roll. His legacy is that of one of the most important and influential musicians ever. Every beginning also has an end. This week, we look at Elvis' final concert in 1977 and how it affected his legacy after his death mere weeks later.

What makes something scandalous? That term might be used loosely in this week's Top 5. We discuss some of the music scandals of the 1960s. Mysterious murders? Yes. Possible naughty lyrics? No. What other scandals made the list?

We have a brand-new This Week In History and Time Capsule that will look at the life and career of music legend Paul McCartney for his 84th birthday.
