'You Had To Be There' is a first-of-its-kind podcast where we’re taking listeners back to iconic moments in pop culture history where…you had to be there. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill interview show; it’s a journey to the past in a race against time to land the interview and get the story. 

Each episode, we’re giving a different host an assignment: Find & interview an eyewitness to an iconic moment in pop culture history…in just 48 hours.

The Catch? Our hosts have no idea what their assignment will be, so it's impossible to prepare!

This season features some of the most iconic moments in music, movies, sports, television from 1969 to 2000 where…you had to be there…but we’re not going to spoil the surprise right now because that wouldn’t be any fun, would it?

We can’t wait for you to listen!
