#103 - A Discussion on the year 1999 and Trash Pop Culture with Ross Benes
Description
Thank you for tuning in! On today's episode, I am joined by Journalist, Author, and Market Analyst, Ross Benes! Ross has written extensively on the subjects of sex, culture, and the entertainment industry. In this episode, we take a look at the year 1999 and the "Trash Culture" that was so dominant during the last year of the century. We discuss topics like talk shows (Jerry Spring, Ricky Lake), the theatrics of professional wrestling, Limp Bizkit and so much more!
