July 1991: TLC, AFV, Heavy D, and T-1000

July 1991 was PEAK summer vibes, and GeorgeOdem is back with special guest host Alexis Pharr to break down everything that made this month absolutely legendary! We’re diving deep into the cinematic trifecta that defined the season: Michael J. Fox’s small-town charm in “Doc Hollywood,” the raw power of John Singleton’s groundbreaking “Boyz n the Hood,” and the mind-melting action perfection of “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” Plus, we’re getting nostalgic about the TV shows that kept us glued to our screens - from Robert Stack’s spine-tingling “Unsolved Mysteries” to the workplace comedy gold of “Wings” and the pure chaotic joy of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (because who didn’t love watching people fall off trampolines?). Our musical time machine is cranked to eleven with Heavy D’s infectious “Now That We Found Love,” C+C Music Factory’s brain-breaking “Things That Make You Go Hmmm,” and TLC’s empowering anthem “Unpretty” that had us all questioning beauty standards before it was cool. And speaking of questions - can GeorgeOdem extend his FIVE-GAME winning streak in Trivia SMACKDOWN, or will Alexis finally dethrone the reigning champ? Grab your Surge, dust off your Cross Colours, and join us for another dose of that sweet, sweet ’90s nostalgia that hits different. This is the Feel Good Radio your inner child has been craving!

February 1995: Cindy Lisped, Billy Flunked, and Baywatch Bounced - #012

We're taking you straight back to February 1995 — the month that brought us Billy Madison, The Brady Bunch Movie, and a young Leonardo DiCaprio hustling his way onto the big screen (thanks to Sharon Stone's wallet!). But before we dive into the pop culture, the Feel Good crew throws down over how to correctly pronounce "February" — and that’s just the beginning. We debate parenting styles across generations, laugh at the awkward glory of Baywatch and Jerry Springer, and remember when Ryan Gosling was just "Young Hercules." PLUS: -Boyz II Men, Madonna, and Real McCoy ruled the charts -GenX nostalgia hits HARD -And the Feel Good Trivia Smackdown will test your '90s brain cells!

Beaches Made You Cry, Bobby Brown Made You Dance — Welcome to January 1989 - #011

January 1989 had it all — box office blockbusters, iconic TV premieres, and radio hits that still live rent-free in our brains. On this week’s episode of the Feel Good Radio Podcast, we rewind to a month that gave us cult classics, comedic gold, and pop culture drama that still hits hard. We talk about the powerful performances in Rain Man and the wild mix of topics it sparked — Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman, Mission: Impossible, and yes, Scientology. Twins had us cracking up with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. And Beaches made us cry with Bette Midler's unforgettable Wind Beneath My Wings. Over on TV, Empty Nest gave Golden Girls fans more Miami laughs, Major Dad served up some Marine-style family fun, and Matlock proved the South knows how to solve a case in a white suit. On the radio, Def Leppard brought the rock with Armageddon It, Taylor Dayne told us Don’t Rush Me, and Bobby Brown set the tone for solo domination with My Prerogative. Plus, we debut our brand new closing segment — the 80s & 90s Pop Culture Trivia Challenge — and it gets competitive. Think Cheers, Kajagoogoo, The Matrix, Nickelodeon, and more. And don’t miss our big tease: next week, it’s the ultimate showdown — Star Wars vs. Star Trek. Feel the nostalgia. Bring the fun. Press play on the Feel Good Radio Podcast!

March 1980: Disco’s Down, Cable’s Coming, and Blondie’s on the Line - #010

March 1980 was a turning point in pop culture, and the Feel Good Radio Podcast is rolling back the tape to revisit all the madness! In this episode, we’re taking a full-on rewind through the big screen, small screen, and soundwaves of the era. At the movies, action met dystopia in Mad Max, we laughed ourselves silly with Airplane!, and got inspired by the true story behind Coal Miner’s Daughter. Television in March 1980 was giving us sass, Southern flair, and groundbreaking representation with hit shows like Alice, The Dukes of Hazzard, and The Jeffersons. On the charts, music was in the middle of a major shift. Disco was on its way out, but it didn’t go quietly—Donna Summer’s “On the Radio” kept the groove alive, Blondie came in hot with “Call Me,” and Queen brought a fresh sound with “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.” We’ll also dive into two cultural currents shaping the future: the fall of disco and the quiet but powerful rise of cable television. It’s all here in one jam-packed episode—movies, music, TV, and major trends—served up with insight, humor, and the signature feel-good energy you come to this show for. Turn it up and enjoy the ride back to March 1980!
