92-We Came for Chick-fil-A, Stayed for Star Wars
Manage episode 513499530 series 3308858
Two sisters time-travel through 1977 using a playful “family journal,” tracing Roots, Star Wars, the NYC blackout, and the Apple II, while weaving in jokes, side tangents, and a tender “late entry” birth story. We close on why personal stories make history stick and a groovy sign-off that invites listeners to share their own.
• Roots as national reckoning on TV
• Super Bowl XI and Carter’s inauguration
• Blizzard of ’77 and community strain
• Queen’s anthems, disco style, punk rise
• Apple II puts computing in the home
• Star Wars as cultural movement and myth
• Pipeline launch and NYC blackout tensions
• Loss of icons: Elvis, Crosby, Chaplin
• The Wow! signal and cosmic wonder
• Atari 2600 and interactive culture at home
• Disco peak with Saturday Night Fever
• Takeaway: history felt through lived moments
