The issue of Time Magazine dated twenty years ago today featured an article looking at what turned out to be the beginning of the end of the small, independent video rental store.  I look at how that came to pass, and how the big chains might be facing the end of the line themselves. Today's episode music is "Butt Quake," by <a href="http://www.podsafeaudio.com/jamroom/bands/249/">Commander Yo</a>.  Theme music composed and performed by <a href="http://www.drysmoke.com">Marc Rose</a>.

Episode #26 -- End of the Corner Video Store

A look at the events and culture of the (relatively) recent past -- twenty, or sometimes thirty, years ago from the day of posting.  The 1980s. The 1990s.  People.  Society.  Books, movies, television and video games.  Crime and justice.  War and disasters.  It's all here, seen through the lens of my own memory.  Learn or remember about days not so long gone, and see how what happened then affects us today -- all in less than ten minutes per episode.
