September 02, 2021Long Distance Phone Calls

But it used to be that placing a call to anyone more than a few miles away could result in a hefty phone bill at the end of the month! In this Backtrack, we look back on something that has thankfully changed for the better: long distance phone calls!

August 19, 2021The GenX Mall Experience
Today, shopping malls are struggling to keep their doors open, but a few decades ago they were booming. To many kids who grew up in the ’70s and ’80s, the mall was a favorite hangout, an entertainment center, a cafeteria, and even a date night destination! In this episode, our parents have dropped us off at the front entrance where we start reminiscing about the Generation X mall experience.
