History of the 90s

Tennis in the 1990s was dominated by several young and talented players who helped usher in a new era on both the men’s and women’s tours. In this episode of History of the 90s we look back at the flashy, style of Andre Agassi and his highly talented rival Pete Sampras who faced off in one of the greatest tennis rivalries ever. As well as the equally exciting rivalry between Steffi Graf and Monica Seles which came to a premature and tragic conclusion.

There are some years when it seems like the world has gone a bit mad and 1995 was one of those years. Deadly terrorist attacks in the US and Japan shocked the world, while an assassination in Israel ended any hope for peace in the middle east. Meantime, high profile murder trials fascinated the public in Los Angeles and Toronto and Quebec came within a hair of separating from Canada. In this episode of History of the 90s we’re taking a look back at those stories and several others as we count down ten of the most memorable events of 1995.

The holiday season is upon us and one questions is always present. Have you been naughty or nice? Depending on your answer you'll either be rewarded or you'll find a much more frightening fate will be upon you, and no, it's not a lump of coal. For centuries, disobedient children in Austria and other Alpine countries have faced a truly terrifying Christmas consequence for their misbehavior — a dreaded visit from Krampus. If you've misbehaved Krampus can be heard before he can be seen which makes him even more frightening. The joyful sound of sleigh bells will be replaced by something far more sinister: the menacing clanking of rusty chains accompanied by the eerie tinkling of cowbells. So be good for goodness sake because Krampus is coming to town. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]
