What did happiness cost in 1988? Shane Hewitt takes us back to the era of acid-wash jeans, shoulder pads, and conga lines to Kokomo. With nods to The Beach Boys, the price of milk, and a prime minister who wasn’t named Trudeau, this nostalgic ride compares what life looked like then vs. now — and why the past still resonates. Relive the cultural pulse of the late '80s: the number one song, classic TV shows like Cheers and Golden Girls, and how much it cost to keep a family fed. There’s politics, too — from Mulroney and the free trade debate to George H.W. Bush’s victory speech. Ryan O’Donnell shares a deeply personal Kokomo story that brings the era’s joy to life. Originally aired on 2025-11-06
