Gina attended Woodstock 99 with her husband two nephews and had the time of her life. This is a unique survivor story because despite the setting, it is extremely wholesome and positive. Between tripping during Bush, building a poo dam, watching the riots unfold from a hotel room, this story is jam packed with 99 goodies.

Podcast 99 returns for a special edition of Survivor Stories. From the start of Podcast 99 we have always made comparisons between Woodstock 99 and Fyre Festival. Our guest Kathleen worked at Fyre Fest and joins us to dish more dirt on this infamous blunder.

The world’s biggest metal band (and headliners of both Woodstock 94 and 99) is hardly a Culture Dump, but their 2002 documentary “Some Kind of Monster” and the album that followed “St. Anger” are definitely Culture Dumps. A high paid therapist, aging rock stars, a massive societal shift in how music is consumed, what could go wrong???

This week Ryan is joined by Eric D, the mind behind Meth Syndicate. They discuss one of the staples of 1990’s television advertising: “Pure Moods.” What began as a compilation of the most cutting edge music the easy listening genre had to offer ended as a minor footnote in popular culture. 

The Disco Demolition has gone down as one of the most negative reactions to a seemingly innocent cultural movement. Filled with racial and societal implications, the Disco Demolition is as sad as it is ridiculous. Join us as we revisit the night when thousands of rowdy baseball fans gathered to blow up a giant crate of disco records. 

The Culture Dumps team (along with guest Audra Isadora) gears up for the most celebrated women’s music festival of all time, Lilith Fair! What started as the brain child of Sarah McLachlan and ended as a now forgotten chapter in popular music has just as many layers to the story one would expect from a Culture Dump. Girls to the front!

We finish up our mini series on tragic pop stars Milli Vanilli. Their lip sync game catches up to them in the worst way. But was the blame fairly placed? It usually is not. Stay tuned for a very bizarre and touching KFC commericial.

We dive into what was perhaps the biggest scandal in pop music history. Milli Vanilli was the sacrificial lamb of lip synching, a practice commonly used in today’s pop music. Perhaps they took it a step too far? Or were they puppets in a nefarious shadow organization of music industry moguls?

Milli Vanilli were the only artists in history to have a Grammy revoked. They also loved to party and eat.

It’s time for our a Culture Dumps Halloween special! For the debut of our food-focused side series, “Culinary Dumps,” we discuss the infamous black bun clad Halloween Whopper. Enjoy, and don’t look into the toilet!

We would love it if you did! We even recorded something asking you to subscribe.
