Listen "Petro-Canada Swag and Pop Culture Power: Why 1988 Still Hits"
Episode Synopsis
Remember your first “Just Do It” ad? Or those gold-rimmed Petro-Canada Winter Olympic glasses? Ed Conroy of Retro Ontario does — and he joins Shane Hewitt to dig deep into why 1988 was one of the weirdest, happiest years in pop culture memory. With Kokomo topping charts and Die Hard redefining action, the year was packed with unforgettable music, movies, and marketing moments. Ed unpacks why They Live still resonates, how NWA gave suburban kids a window into Compton, and why pop music in '88 hit like a cultural GPS. Come for the nostalgia, stay for the insights.
