We Need to Talk About This

I’m talking about the Super Bowl Halftime Shows from 2000 to 2010.

Before the multi-million-dollar drone light shows and perfectly synchronized lip-syncing of today, the 2000s halftime stage was a wild, unpredictable frontier. We went from bizarre pop-music mashups to rock-and-roll damage control, and one single second that changed live television forever. Fire up your TiVo, grab your metallic tracksuits, and let’s look back at the decade that redefined the halftime show.

Ever look back at the 2000s and wonder, how did we let that happen? Welcome to We Need to Talk About This, the podcast where we rewind the tape on the most chaotic moments in pop culture history.

Each week, I pour a drink and deep-dive into the cultural moments that defined our generation. From the celebrity scandals plastered all over the cover of US Weekly, the unhinged birth of reality TV to the gripping true crime stories that captured the entire nation. It’s a nostalgic, unfiltered look at the history we lived through, told like you’re discussing the latest gossip with your best friend.

So pour yourself a drink. We need to talk about this.
