"Did 1995 Change Everything?"

In the first ever episode of Katie Needs A Podcast our host welcomes her best bud Dr. Maggie Reid to the show to help her breakdown all the goings on in the year 1995. They kick things off by discussing where they both were (mentally and physically) in the year 1995 (4:10), then move on to look at where the world was at during this year (10:20) which includes discussion of world leaders, austerity measures and notable births and deaths. Then they dive into why 1995 is such a fascinating year by discussing a notable New Yorker article (22:10) which outlines the 5 things that opened the door to the future. They cover OJ (22:52), the Oklahoma City bombing (27:16), the Dayton negotiations (29:42), and a few other events such as: Newt Gingrich (31:36), Paul Bernardo (36:04), the Quebec Referendum (37:46), HRC (40:14), and most importantly, Netscape Navigator (42:51) and the subsequent browser wars with Microsoft (50:02). After a quick snack break (56:35) - please sponsor us Delissio Frozen Pizza - they dive into Pop Culture. They talk trends (58:57), celebs (1:00:48), teen mags (1:04:26), fashion (1:07:46), the Kids Choice Awards (1:10:50), primetime TV (1:14:19), The Rachel (1:16:45), essential movies (1:20:16), and certified hotties (1:21:17). They dig into the career of the quintessential 1995 crush, Jonathan Taylor Thomas in the segment WWJTTD (1:22:02) - spoiler, he’s in some questionable movies that year (1:22:30). And finally, they chat about the music that defined the year (1:26:40) and whether or not 1995 did, in fact, change everything (1:29:04).
