Step back into 1995 with Shane Hewitt and pop culture archivist Ed Conroy. From the dawn of eBay, Amazon, and Yahoo to the arrival of Windows 95 and the first PlayStation, the year marked a seismic shift in how we lived, played, and connected. The conversation explores Britpop’s explosion, Toy Story’s debut, and niche TV like The Anti-Gravity Room. Ed shares how eBay became a treasure trove of nostalgia, while Shane unpacks both the optimism and the darker cultural undercurrents, like the OJ Simpson trial’s media dominance. Together, they piece together a portrait of a year that shaped the world we know today.
