Description
1986 was a year of music, movies, and moments that defined a generation — and Shane Hewitt and Ed Conroy are taking listeners straight back there. They revisit the cultural landmarks of the year, from the haunting brilliance of Phantom of the Opera and Janet Jackson’s chart-topping hits to the worldwide wonder of Halley’s Comet. The conversation also reflects on the year’s defining events — the Challenger tragedy, the launch of the Mir space station, and a World Cup that changed the game forever. With a mix of nostalgia and insight, they explore how one unforgettable year helped shape the modern cultural landscape.
