Dave and Cheryl and the 90s

Ep 32 - The Olympics in the 90's

Olympic athletes spend much of their youth perfecting their sports and some come away triumphant while others disappoint. From world records to terrorist attacks and even a notorious physical assault, the Olympics during the 90s were never dull.

Ep 31 - Meryl Streep in the 90s

Meryl Streep is unquestionably the most acclaimed actress of her generation. A woman known for her command of many accents, she never stopped stretching her skills. Comedies, musicals or action films, she did everything and excelled at it all.

Ep 30 - Bravo Network in the 90s

Bravo was cable’s artsy elder sibling—tv’s first channel dedicated to the performing arts; opera, ballet, jazz and indie film. Listen as Dave pines for lost afternoons of subtitled melodrama, Inside the Actors Studio, and Queer Eye makeovers, all while chronicling the slow, inevitable coup by reality TV: one table flip at a time. Sometimes things were just better in the 90’s

Ep 29 - Stand-up Comedy in the 90s

People have been standing in front of others telling jokes since the beginning of time, but not as much as they did in the 90s. Stand-up comedians were all over our tvs and on the big screen. In this week’s episode of Dave and Cheryl and the 90s we talk about who they were and the various places we found them.

Ep 28 - Barbara Walters

Barbara Walters was the first female national evening news anchor in America and for decades after she was the preeminent interviewer of the rich, famous and influential. She inspired generations of female journalists that came up behind her but she wasn’t without her own controversies and missteps. On Dave and Cheryl and the 90s we talk about her breaking the glass ceiling while also holding her female interviewees more accountable than the men.
