Join us for one of our favorite conversations as we revisit the generation-defining year of 1976. In our all new introduction, we discuss Bicentennial fashion (red, white and blue Sears Tuffskins, anyone?) and all the fun patriotic collectibles. Lots of laughs.

Our country’s Bicentennial hit differently for us GenX kids. For us it was all about pet rocks, Dorothy Hamill, Nadia’s Theme, “I’m Just A Bill,” The Bionic Woman, Charlie’s Angels, Afternoon Delight, and Holly Hobbie. So grab a bomb pop and join the girls as they revisit many of the pop-culture events that made 1976 so much more than just the nation’s 200th birthday!

Join us as we chat about all the things that made 1976 so memorable like…
