90s Rewind
Having two people casually talking about their childhood experiences in one of the most exciting and beloved centuries - what a great idea! Too bad it wasn't mine, but the idea behind a podcast called Young in the
80s. I loved the idea a lot and wished there was something similar for the 90s - so I reached out to the creators of Young in the 80s and asked them for permission to use their idea for a 90s related podcast.
Luckily, they agreed!
Venturing Into Podcasts
The year was 2014,[1] and I convinced my best friend to create a podcast around how we
perceived growing up in the 90s. We had a lot of fun recording the episodes and remembering the good times of the past while preparing for it.
Back then, podcasts already had a huge audience,[2] and our rather modest level of professionalism fit right in with other podcasts of that era.[3]
Podcasting Takes Time
We ended the project due to time constraints. Preparing, recording, post-processing, community work - all this is time-consuming, so we ended it and withdrew the episodes from the podcast hosting services. However, all episodes are still available here:
- Episode 1: Sammlerstücke
- Episode 2: Trickserien
- Episode 3: Das Internet
- Episode 4: Gameshows
- Episode 5: Gegenrede
- Episode 6: Popmusik
- Episode 7: Computerspiele
- Episode 8: Silvester
- Episode 9: Mode
- Episode 10: Ein Tag in den 90ern
- Episode 11: Comedy
- Episode 12: Star Trek
Back then, we thought the trend was already over and we're basically jumping on a dead medium. Don't trust me on tech trends. ↩︎
Probably not in comparison to today, but we considered the numbers insanely huge. Honestly, I thought the numbers must've been wrong and didn't pay attention to them - until someone recognised my voice during a webinar I gave at work. ↩︎
I sometimes wonder how much of a following our podcast would have if we continued it until today. Maybe we shouldn't have limited it to the 90s. ↩︎
