A SWAT situation unfolded in Huntington Beach, prompting the crew to cue up the classic SWAT theme song and wonder—who actually created the original TV show? Then came a spooky twist: a woman bought the real-life house from the iconic film Poltergeist. Kiki stopped by with updates on the deadly Ontario crash and shared news about Mark's growing YouTube show. The hour wrapped with laughs about how much Mark was missed at Morongo—and a quick look at the soaring price of gold.
In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, and brought to you by Topo Athletic, we're joined by Mary “Fireweed” Kwart. Fireweed is a thru-hiker, a Deadhead, and a pioneering figure in wildland firefighting with a career spanning more than 30 years. We dive into the challenges of being one of the first women to join the elite Arrowhead Interagency Hotshots, the culture shock of entering a male-dominated field, and some of the most memorable stories from her decades on the fire line. Fireweed also reflects on how long-distance hiking has evolved since the 1970s, her tradition of tackling a new long trail every year since retiring, and her deep love and advocacy for California's Bigfoot Trail. We wrap the show with the best backpacking trails in the Midwest, the thru-hiking advice we wish we'd never given, a debate over whether robotic legs should count as mechanical transport under the Wilderness Act, and the Triple Crown of parts of society we'd turn the clock back for.

The campiness and cheesiness of the 80s and & 90s are on full display in the two movies we saw this week: The Blob (1988) and Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988). Both appear to be made on a shoestring budget, with unseasoned actors. And that is why we love them. Or at least some of us do. Let us know what you think?

The Natural Law provides a key to resolving a Republican debate in the 1980s on the normative judicial power, Judicial Activism v. Judicial Restraint. Stephen Macedo published "The New Right v. The Constitution" with The CATO Institute in 1986. We're going to make a fair use and do a transformative reading of the book. CATO offers a free download of the book here: https://www.cato.org/books/new-right-v-constitution We'd like to thank Stephen Macedo for writing the book and to thank CATO for making this material available in publishing it. Consider supporting CATO with a financial donation so that they can continue providing quality resources for discussion. Tell a friend about their resources. This episode includes a reading at the end of Psalm 61 (KJV) and January 13th of Streams in the Desert (Cowman: Los Feliz Station Lost Angeles, CA 1925).

The names are almost all known nationally: Ed Koch, Rudy Giuliani, David Dinkins, Al Sharpton, Larry Kramer, and Donald Trump. These are people who were first in the news in the 1980s. Their early public lives are now featured in Jonathan Mahler's book, "The Gods of New York." The book is divided into four large chapters titled 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989. Mr. Mahler, a feature writer for the New York Times Magazine, closes his book with this last paragraph: "The existential questions that New York faced as it entered 1986 were answered. The great working-class city was gone." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The US Fiscal Crisis: Spending Cuts Are the Only Way Out GUEST NAME: Adam Michel Adam Michel, director of tax policy at the Cato Institute, discusses the US fiscal crisis stemming from large deficits and overwhelming debt. He recalls the 1980s Ronald Reagan tax cut where promised spending cuts never materialized. The deficit is the annual gap between taxes and spending, accumulating into the national debt. Michel identifies a "deficit hawk coalition" split between deficit hawks (agnostic on revenues/spending) and budget hawks (concerned with government size), advocating for spending cuts to solve the crisis. Entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are the root of fiscal problems. 1903

Episode DescriptionWhen you think about 1980s killers, names like Bundy, Ramirez, and Dahmer come to mind. But what about the women? In this episode of Terror Talk: Killer Minds and Creepy Stuff, Shannon and [co-host's name] pull back the curtain on female psychopaths of the decade — both the ones who made headlines and the ones who terrified us on screen.We move through the decade year by year, uncovering shocking real crimes:Christine Falling, the teenage babysitter turned child killer.Genene Jones, the Texas nurse who murdered infants in her care.Diane Downs, whose narcissism led her to shoot her own children.Dorothea Puente, the “sweet old lady” running a boarding house of death.Griselda Blanco, the ruthless “Cocaine Godmother.”And the emergence of Aileen Wuornos, one of history's most infamous female serial killers.At the same time, Hollywood and international horror were building their own female psychopath archetypes:The Fan (1981) and the dangers of obsession.Bloody Birthday and Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker tearing apart family and innocence.Fatal Attraction (1987), where Glenn Close redefined the “woman scorned.”And finally Misery (1990), with Kathy Bates's Oscar-winning portrayal of Annie Wilkes.Together, we explore why these women — real and fictional — terrified the world. Why did betrayal of trust by mothers, nurses, and lovers cut deeper than stranger-danger? And what did these portrayals reveal about shifting gender roles, cultural anxieties, and the way society views dangerous women?This episode is part history lesson, part cultural analysis, and part psychological deep dive into why the 1980s cemented the female psychopath as both a real and reel icon.✨ Listen now and step into a decade where lipstick, motherhood, and obsession became weapons just as lethal as knives and guns.

Rev up that Camaro and make sure your shoulderpads are on straight as we peel into 1987's Adventures in Babysitting. How dare Disney censor the most famous line in this movie, and why is swearing verboten but racism and misogyny ok? Is Elizabeth Shue the ultimate teenage girl hero? And is young Vincent D'Onofrio even more of an Asgardian beefcake than Chris Hemsworth? We'll give you some answers as soon as we get back from the wilds of Chicago.
Matt and Eric take a vacation at Calvin Bouchard's SeaWorld Orlando for JAWS 3(D) - a silly sequel about the Brody boys encountering a 35-foot mama shark in an amusement park (with terrible dolphin thespians).

On the latest episode of the podcast, Doug wonders if Angel Dust and PCP just don't exist anymore or if they just have new names, Jamie refers to the hero as 'Seed Star' for reasons that she feels are obvious, and we both realize that neither of us would last more than a day or two in the future hellish world that this movie posits (Doug refuses to live in a sewer and Jamie would attempt to bargain with the Terminators).

The 1980s were a perfect storm of the rise of VCRs and cable television. This culminated in a tidal wave of fitness shows. These were on TV early in the morning, or could be bought on VHS at local stores. We look back at the home fitness craze and some of the classic workout tapes and shows from the 80s.

Part 1 of my conversation with guest Phil Stacey about songs we hate to love. Show notes: Surprised at how good the Who were in concert despite their advanced age Songs we hate to love, not necessarily guilty pleasures Things we were embarrassed to say we liked when we were in school Most of our picks were from when we were kids Jay: I liked hard rock and metal and would never admit I liked poppier stuff like Duran Duran Jay: In doing research, I discovered there was a "rock" version of the Lord's Prayer that was a minor hit in 1973 Phil: ABBA wrote some pop classics When REO Speedwagon had that one huge album AOR was huge in the early '80s Jay: I loved KISS's disco song, but never got into the band Phil: Listened to a lot of Manilow as a kid Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" captured that swinging '60s vibe The pop goodness of the Association Phil: The band Boston has been played to death in these parts, but they had their moment Controversial choice: Phil likes the worst Genesis song Dumb song, dumb video When Eddie Murphy became a pop star Phil also likes Crazytown's hit Released at the height of nu metal/rap rock Jay: Begrudgingly liked Animotion's big hit First album Jay had as a kid was by Glen Campbell Campbell wasn't a typical country singer Jay: Got into some of Paul Simon's mid-70s solo work Getting into early Loverboy deep cuts Billy Joel wrote a lot of bad songs, but a few good ones Jay: Always a big fan of "Rump Shaker" ABC was good at the foppish synth pop Jay: I hate everything about Smash Mouth except their first single Totally dig one George Michael song above all others Late '70s pop blast from M Foreigner struck gold with catchy rock jams To be continued Completely Conspicuous is available through Apple Podcasts.

On July 4, 1984, police dogs uncovered a shallow grave in the quiet town of Northport, Long Island. Inside lay the mutilated body of 17-year-old Gary Lauwers—stabbed more than 30 times in a drug-fueled frenzy by his friend Ricky “The Acid King” Kasso. Within days, the story became national news, sparking headlines of Satanic sacrifice and cementing Kasso as the terrifying face of America's 1980s Satanic Panic.But was this really the work of a Satanic cult, or simply the grim fallout of teenage drug abuse, mental illness, and neglect? In this episode of Terrifying & True, we dive deep into the disturbing murder in Aztakea Woods, Ricky Kasso's descent into drugs and occult posturing, and how the media turned one horrific killing into a nationwide moral hysteria.We'll examine:The brutal murder of Gary Lauwers and Kasso's infamous demand, “Say You Love Satan.”How the case fueled the fire of the Satanic Panic sweeping America.The media's sensational claims versus the grim reality of drugs, rage, and tragedy.The trial of Jimmy Troiano and the lasting legacy of the “Acid King” myth.From grave robbing to cult rumors, from teenage rebellion to national paranoia, this is the chilling true story of Ricky Kasso, the Acid King of Northport.We're telling that story tonight.

✨ Think the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards caught all the best science fiction of the 1980s? Think again. In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim digs deep into the decade that gave us cyberpunk, space opera epics, and dystopian thrillers—spotlighting the amazing books that somehow slipped through the awards radar.From forgotten alien invasions to near-future technothrillers, post-apocalyptic survival tales to deep philosophical thought experiments, these are the novels readers loved but committees overlooked. For each year of the decade, you'll get Jim's pick for the “best” snubbed book plus a worthy runner-up—and maybe discover some new favorites for your TBR.
In this episode, Paul and I did a fantasy draft on our favourite movie vilains of all time. So it's ten picks each, no overlap allowed, beyond that it's anything goes.

Book Title: Wild Ride: A Short History of the Opening and Closing of the Chinese Economy Author: Anne Stevenson Yang Headline: Central Government Seeks Control Amid Economic Booms and Crises After the economy grew "out of control" in the 1980s, the central government, fearing a Soviet-style breakup, implemented "golden projects" for control over customs, taxes, and information. Following the 1998 Asian Financial Crisis, China recapitalized its banks by creating four asset management companies to buy bad assets, effectively injecting massive cash into the economy. This unleashed an explosion of wealth, shifting the Chinese people's aspirations toward getting rich. 1958
John welcomes Jonathan Mahler, New York Times Magazine staff writer and bestselling author of “The Bronx Is Burning,” to discuss his new book, “The Gods of New York: Egotists, Idealists, Opportunists, and the Birth of the Modern City: 1986-1990.” Mahler unpacks the reinvention of the Big Apple in the second half of the Eighties; riffs on the outsized characters (from Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani to Larry Kramer, Al Sharpton, and, of course, Donald Trump) who played key roles in it; and argues that the rise of Zohran Mamdani signals an end to the 40-year era spawned by that transformation. He and Heilemann also reminisce about crossing paths as undergrads in 1987—first as teammates and then as cellmates.
