In this Deep Dive episode, our hosts discuss how a compactly described 1985 event reshaped culture and literature, celebrate influential birthdays with a focus on Gandhi, and consider a music-format milestone that ties technology to cultural memory.
- 📜 The hosts examine a “major historical event” from 1985 and how that single labeled moment became a lens for celebrity, media, publishers, and writers — shaping narratives of trauma, resilience, reinvention, and changing gatekeeping in culture and literature.
- 🎂 Today’s birthday segment highlights Mahatma Gandhi (1869), diving into his intertwining of personal practice and political strategy, the ethics of nonviolent resistance, and how symbolic acts (like marches and fasts) functioned as both tactic and storytelling device for mass movements.
- 💡 Fact of the day: the first CD pressed in the U.S. was Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the USA — a detail the hosts use to explore how media formats and iconic albums intersect to shape cultural memory and the perceived significance of works.
