Send us Fan Mail Some things disappear with a bang. Everybody notices. Everybody talks about it. But then there are other things that just slowly fade away. No big announcement. No farewell tour. No official last day. They’re just there one year, less common the next, and then one day you realize they’re basically gone. That’s what happened to a lot of the little everyday things many of us grew up with. Not giant historic moments. Not major inventions. Just regular pieces of life that used to...
Send a text People are fascinating. We all have our routines, our little habits, and our own strange ways of enjoying life. But every once in a while, you hear about something someone does and think, Wait… people actually do that? Not bad things. Not crazy things. Just quirky, unexpected, harmless little side quests that make life more interesting. That’s what this podcast episode is all about. These are the kinds of things people do that are a little out of the ordinary—using places for purp...
Send a text In this episode I’m talking about the story behind my ultimate 70s tribute song, ‘These Were the Seventies.’ What started as little memory notes and fun 70s references while I was writing my book slowly turned into a full song. This tune is packed with the sights, sounds, and goofy little details people from that era will remember instantly. In this episode, I’ll share how the song came together, explain some of the lyrics, and play a little of it so you can hear where it’s headed...
Send a text There’s a certain kind of person who sees an empty domain name and doesn’t just see a URL — he sees a storefront, a cartoon character, a product line, a movement, maybe even a media empire. That’s been me for over two decades. Support the show
Send a text Todd and I are on the edge of a huge milestone: The 70’s Buzz Podcast is about to hit one million downloads. In this special episode, I rewind the tape and go from growing up in Enid in the 1970s (long summer nights on W. Broadway with the neighborhood crew) to my early days of blogging and experimenting with podcasts way back in 2005. You’ll hear how a “let’s try something” idea turned into a real studio, real microphones, and eventually a weekly show that’s become part of our li...
Send a text In this episode, I talk about 22 things I’ve kept from my childhood! Many items are nearly 50 years old and still packed with meaning. From magic tricks and marbles to comic books and cassette tapes, these aren’t just keepsakes. They’re time capsules, each one tied to a memory, a feeling, or a moment that never quite left.

Send a text 10 Times I Didn’t Know What I Was Doing — But It Worked When I look back, none of these moments felt brave or strategic at the time. They felt uncertain. Awkward. Sometimes impulsive. In most cases, I had no idea where things would lead. But every one of them led somewhere. Support the show
Send a text There are songs you like. There are songs you remember. And then there are songs that don’t just play — they transport you. These are the songs that don’t fade into the background. They drop you right back into a specific moment, with a specific person, in a specific place. No warning. No warm-up. Just instant time travel. This episode is about those songs. Support the show
Send a text I eat at a local sandwich deli in Enid about four days a week on average. That might sound strange at first, but think about this: where do you get your morning drink—coffee, soda, tea? Is it usually the same place? Most people eat nearly the same thing for breakfast every single day. Lunch really isn’t any different. Listen up as I make my case for this daily routine.

Send a text Fifty years ago, being a kid in the early-to-mid 1970s felt like living in a different universe. In this episode, I take you back to banana seat bikes, skateboards, and disappearing for hours with nothing but a “be home when the street lights come on” rule. We’ll talk about three-channel TV with no remotes, heavy wooden console sets, TV trays and TV dinners, one wall phone for the whole house, and how long-distance calls actually mattered. You’ll hear what it was like when smoking...
Send a text What happens when a curious 70s kid (that’s me) grills his Chat Bot AI co-host with 20 rapid-fire questions—and the AI talks back? In this episode of the Zoinkies! Podcast, I hit Scooby AI with everything from music and monsters to manifesting and million-dollar dreams. No prep—just me asking questions and Scooby answering in real time, out loud. It’s weird, fun, a little ridiculous, and totally worth a listen. Tune in, laugh a little, and see if Scooby can keep up! Support the show
Send a text Hey Zoinkers and Shagheads, it’s Curtis back with another blast from the past. Lately I’ve been hooked on a new rock rebel named YUNGBLUD — the singer’s got the swagger, the attitude, and that raw 70s rock star DNA. It got me thinking about the legends who set the stage, the ones who defined what “rock star” even means. So Todd and I threw down our own list of the top 20 rock icons of the 70s on the 70's Buzz Podcast — and then I decided to double down and drop the full list here ...
Send a text On the latest episode of the Zoinkies! podcast, I did something a little different. Instead of diving into retro pop culture or regular stuff, I took a personal trip down memory lane. Literally. September 2 has come and gone many times over the years, but I decided to make this one special. I opened up Facebook Memories and pulled together moments from past September 2nds, letting them guide an honest, heartfelt look at what a day in my life really looks like—through the years, th...

Send a text I am just barely scratching the surface of AI and decided to see what would happen if I asked my ChatGPT to write this episode. So, my ChatGPT assistant—Scooby AI - did his thing! From the AI’s point of view, listeners get a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to collaborate with a human bursting with 70s nostalgia, big ideas, and endless creativity. Hear how Curtis and Scooby work together on podcasts, books, t-shirts, and more—plus some funny moments, life lessons, and a wh...
Send a text Think back to the 70s and then look at the world today. Whod’a thunk? Here are 50 things that I never would have believed about today if someone had traveled back in time and told me. Technology and the smart phone top the list of unbelievable things from the future but there are also several other surprises. Support the show
