Radical Play: How Toys & Culture Changed in the 60s and 70s


Listen Later

In this episode, Chris talks to author and historian Rob Goldberg about his fascinating book Radical Play. It's a look at the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s and how those challenged and changed the toy industry–and the ways in which the industry responded.

We cover the major issues of the era–war toys and guns, race and gender–and look at the ways the world and by extension playthings changed.

It's a lively and informative conversation. Listen in.

And you can buy Rob's book here.
