Listen Later

Step into a nostalgic late-night conversation with Kate in this solo episode of Two Talking Fools Podcast, where she reflects on growing up in the MTV generation and experiencing the world before smartphones, social media, and YouTube. From the golden age of MTV music videos to the rise of legendary VJs, TRL, and the early days of reality TV, Kate explores how MTV shaped entertainment, identity, and cultural connection.

This episode dives into the dramatic shift from appointment television to today’s instant-access digital culture, where algorithms replace anticipation and scrolling replaces shared viewing experiences. Kate blends personal memories with sharp cultural insight, unpacking how discovering new music once felt like an event — and how platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok transformed the way we consume media.

Whether you remember racing home to watch Total Request Live, staying up late for music video premieres, or feeling genuinely connected to the artists behind the music, this episode invites listeners to reminisce about a time when MTV wasn’t just entertainment — it was our internet, our social network, and our window to the world.

A must-listen for fans of 90s and 2000s pop culture, media evolution, music nostalgia, and anyone curious about how entertainment changed from cable TV to social platforms.
