We’re remembering the life of the man who took us to the final frontier—and made “Make it so” a phrase we’ll never forget. From Captain Picard to Professor X, Patrick Stewart brought authority, humanity, and a surprising sense of humor to our screens. We’re celebrating his life, remembering his career, and reflecting on what made Patrick Stewart such an unforgettable part of growing up Generation X.

You are walking down a path and you see a dragon blocking your way. If you want to fight the dragon, turn to page 3. If you want to talk to the dragon, turn to page 4. If you want to throw rocks at the dragon…. well, you can’t. Why would anybody want to throw rocks at a dragon? Anyway, Choose Your Own Adventure books gave us an opportunity to feel in control at an age where we didn’t have a lot of control in our day-to-day lives. Come join us as we reminisce about those wonderful adventures we had reading these gems.

We’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of Run-D.M.C.’s landmark third album, Raising Hell. We go track by track through the record, revisit the biggest hits, deeper cuts, memorable collaborations, and some of our own memories along the way. And we look back at how Raising Hell broke down barriers, brought hip-hop to an enormous new audience, and forever changed the sound of popular music.
