    Perfect pod that hits rewind
    This is the best pod for anyone interested in learning about what pop culture and world events shaped the western world in the 90s. It’s both nostalgic and reflective bringing listeners comfort and knowledge! To the reviews who say it’s too “liberal” or “political”… Don’t let them dissuade you. This is a show about historical events and ultimately their impact on today. Some of the things we did are more incredible than we could have ever imagined, and other times we really messed up. There is nothing political about reflection; it’s part of the beauty of getting to look back! If your worldview hasn’t changed much in 30 years, this show is for you. If your worldview has drastically changed since you were a kid, this show can help you understand why. THANK YOU to this show who makes a great effort to uncover the stories that us 90s kids were too young to understand while reminding us of the bops that filled our walkmans and VCRs. Keep up the good work!

    Love It But…
    Love y’all but why in every episode do y’all apply 2024 moral standards and judgements to each topic? It seems disingenuous and self serving to constantly throw out the same critiques when obviously 35 years have passed and things change. Just seems like the writer has a journalism degree instead one is history, with an unshakeable urge to virtue signal weekly.

    Engaging and educational
    I have enjoyed this podcast series as a 90s kid (born in ‘90) and I appreciate the nostalgia that it brings. I would have given this series five stars, but I noticed that in at least a couple episodes there seems to be a radically liberal, ideological presentation of some people and events in history, which ultimately pits this podcast against half of all Americans. Not a good idea if you want to attract a wide audience. Overall, it’s a good podcast. I just wish I didn’t have to worry about the radical ideology leaking from it.

    Refreshing hit of nostalgia
    I was just a kid in the 90’s, and this show really makes me feel the feels

    Love looking back
    I’m an American in California I love hearing the stories and history I remember and learning Canadian 90s history.

    Love this Podcast
    I grew up in the 90s. I remember when a lot of these topics happened, but didn’t know what happened behind the curtain. I find this podcast educational and interesting

    Endless Leftist propaganda NOT nostalgia
    Kathy can’t seem to be able not to inject her staunch leftist political beliefs in EVERY episode; she doesn’t even try to hide it. She will make any centrist or right leaning person a villain while celebrating criminal leftist idols. We came for the nostalgia not the propaganda. Give it a rest. As a Mexican, none of us use the buzzword LatinX. I’m not even right wing but the leftist slant is exhausting… she manages to inject a Woke angle in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.

    Millennial history buff
    As a product of the 90’s I love learning about this decade and all of the historical events I lived through but was too young to understand at the time. The only downside to this podcast is that you have to wait 2 weeks for a new episode!
  • Piggers_R1985
    Excellent
    As a kid/teen of the 90’s this is gold. Thanks Kathy!! Keep up the great work. So well researched and delivered
  • Mieggs
    Good but editing is bad
    I like this podcast however with the Donovan Bailey episode I thought it would’ve ended soon about half the time but it seems like a part of sports podcast episode was copied and pasted into the second half of the episode to make it longer. And there’s so much more to talk about and agrees with other reviewers about kinda being pushy with woke liberal content or views which isn’t needed. Would rate higher if it’s not a part of it With the editing with the Candy episode there’s almost 6-8 minutes of blank empty audio at the end
  • american_greed
    so awesome!!!
    thank you for these awesome episodes
  • 00crimejunkie

    5 Star
    Seriously the best podcast getting me through my days working! Love this show.
  • RayRayJackson40
    OK but incomplete
    How did the floods of ‘93 get missed? A large part of the Midwest was flooded. The storm on the east coast (which I don’t even remember) made it on the ‘93 podcast. The floods were national news!
  • grtamer
    Good. Could've been great.
    What do we love most about the 90's? The music, the advancements, the culture, the relatively absent pervasiveness of wokeness, among other things. This podcast is well produced and covers lots of notable 90's events. Unfortunately, like too many other things today, the host never misses a chance to inject all the usual off-the-shelf woke SJW talking points into topics which clearly didn't call for it. Are there any similar podcasts out there that discuss the topics without the tiring woke narrative? Please let it be so.
  • mmmd79!
    I LOVE the 90s
    Just found this show and LOVE it! Every episode brings back so many memories. Keep making them please!
  • Patrice MP
    Amazing podcast!
    Filled with creditable facts while being entertaining.
  • Hugh Gee Rection
    Great podcast!
    Great historical journalism and perspective!
  • Mindy from the Mitten
    I’m a fan but disappointed at times how liberal the agenda is.
    Kathy does a wonderful job but sometimes her liberal outlook takes over.
  • Jay212321
    Show would be so much better if it didn’t have such a political bias.
    The content is good and detailed but they go out of their way to push a left-leaning political bias. It would be great if they just talked about the events in history and kept the personal political opinions out of a history podcast.

    PHENOMENAL
    This podcast is EXCELLENT. Legitimate journalism with Canadian restraint. I learn so much about events I should have known more about, and about things I thought I knew a lot about. Some tough, serious episodes and some sweet walks down, memory lane. I want every decade to have a podcast just like this! THANK YOU!
  • Kat.Royce
    One of the best
    This podcast is absolutely amazing. Thank god I found a podcast, where there is no pointless side talk! Thank you, host!
  • ClapperGal
    Great pace and podcast voice
    This podcast proves that you do not need 2 podcasters bantering to make a podcast great. The voice is perfect and the discussion in a perfect pace to keep you listening. The topic choices are fantastic.
  • D Rambles
    Well done.
    Thanks for making such concise and professional podcasts that aren’t bogged down with commercials.
  • mmoreno1989
    Love this podcast!
    Kathy is such a great storyteller and the topics are researched so well! Always excited when there is a new episode
  • mjph82
    Great memories!
    The 90’s was such a great decade. Sure there were negatives, but the latest times make me terribly nostalgic for the 1990’s. Great content and moves fast enough to keep interest.
  • jonFrias
    Thank you!
    Can’t believe you did a life on Selena ❤️ Truly shows that there are good people in this world still. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
  • BMan315
    Great historical podcast!
    Thank you Kathy for a great podcast! Yours is one that I always look forward to each time it is released. I love listening to them as I go for a run or travel. Could you do a show on the 90s craze of POGs? As a child of the 90s I remember that was a huge deal and would love to hear some interesting info behind the rise and fall of the childhood game. Thanks again and keep up the great work! - Brandon from Ohio

    Grabs your attention and keeps it
    Host voice is easy to listen to and she keeps your attention the whole time. I grew up in the 90s and it’s been fun to relive its history. Host keeps opinions out of the news story and just tells the story. I’ve been learning a lot and having fun along the way. Honestly not sure how this podcast hasn’t blown up yet.
  • Mike1180
    Ehhhhh
    I used to love the pod. Now, it’s pretty much just ok content mixed with subliminal or not so much subliminal liberal agenda.
  • Sadielola
    New favorite show
    Love the host, topics and calm chill tone. Please never stop.
  • Florida555

  • BrandoLee86
    One of my favorites
    I love this podcast and get excited when I see a new episode has dropped! When you have exhausted content from the 90s, can you cover other eras?
  • Miso111
    Great Podcast
    Great podcast!
  • Maurynna36
    Good for nostalgia
    Good for nostalgia however those that didn’t live thru the 90s should know that the way some of these accounts are presented can be highly biased. Also, as other reviewers have pointed out, many proper names are mispronounced which can be annoying especially since it’s clear that plenty of work is being done behind the scenes to write and produce the episodes.
  • AmySue91

  • The Zombieist
    The best 90’s Podcast
    Not only is this podcast well informed & entertaining, it should be taught & made required listening for all US & Canadian high school students when studying the 90’s. Kudos to Kathy Kenzora as well for her excellent read, keeping the stories informative & intriguing.
  • Grizzpaul11
    The 90s are fun but...
    This podcast didn’t discuss them in a fun way and contained a lot of bias
  • Crane flight
    The BEST informative podcast E. V. E. R.
    And those soundtracks mmm...they always fit right in with the topic, and it adds the perfect amount of ambience to the story 😍 👌. Especially the music for the Nickelodeon 🧡thanks so much for choosing this topic, Kathy, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Keep it up! 👍
  • JAJ623
    Perfect ‘90’s podcast!
    Kathy researches all of the topics so well and her delivery is amazing. I really hope this comes back soon!
  • MaleficentBeauty21
    Entertaining & informative
    I love this podcast as there are a lot of things I do remember about the 90’s but there are so many other topics she covers that I had no idea about. She does a great job of telling about the event and I absolutely love this podcast!
  • KillinMyVibes
    👏
    Nostalgic and informative, I have learned so much! Kathy sounds like she cares about the topics as well!
  • A_Steady
    😁
    I enjoyed this show from the moment I first started listening to this podcast. I was a kid in the 90s, so I didn’t really get into much detail of big stories that happened. So this podcast is excellent of bringing back history and learning more about what happed. Maybe you could do a Nancy Kerrigan.
  • Mikeyp122
    👍👍
    As said by someone before me, I was hooked from the start and have binged half the content within my first week. Not just nostalgic (although it very much is), but also highly researched and full of information concerning the story behind the story. Beautifully written, delivered and produced, and with absolutely fascinating content. Head and shoulders above similarly themed podcasts.
