Episode 740: The Years-in-Review Revue: 1976 & ’86 (Patreon)

Jeremy: Some traditions must never be abandoned! But they can be updated.

We've been doing the Years-in-Review Revue thing long enough at this point to have lapped ourselves, so this time around, I've adjusted the format. Rather than attempting to walk through a comprehensive list of everything to have happened 50/40/30 years ago, I've asked our participants this week to name a few standout events and releases per year to discuss. This worked out pretty well! Rather than a whirlwind of quick remarks about everything, we* instead talk in greater detail about a handful of things that caught our attention or stuck in our memories for each year. Not bad. We can probably keep this up for another decade. So stick around, it'll be great.

*Myself, Kevin, Benj, and Jared.
