MTV Changed Pop Culture Forever...Let's Rewind 📺

This episode of The Odd Podcast dives deep into the wild, colorful, and culture-shifting history of MTV.

From the moment "Video Killed the Radio Star" launched the network in 1981, MTV didn't just play music videos, it reshaped music, fashion, celebrity culture, and an entire generation. In this episode, I take you on a nostalgic journey through the rise, peak, and evolution of MTV.

We talk about:

• The early days and explosive rise of MTV • Iconic music videos that defined the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s • The shows that changed the network forever (and changed TV itself) • How reality TV slowly replaced music videos • The long, strange "end of the music video era"

Plus, a very special guest interview.

I'm joined by FlexasaurusRex, the anonymous creator behind the viral MTV Rewind website - a free streaming experience that brings back the magic of watching music videos all day long. We talk about why he built it, the reaction it's getting online, and why people still miss the MTV era so much.

If you grew up watching MTV, miss music television, or just love pop-culture nostalgia, this episode is for you.
