In 1979, a baseball promotion turned into a cultural reckoning. The Chicago White Sox’s “Disco Demolition Night” invited fans to bring disco records to be blown up on the field — all for a $1 ticket. But when 50,000 people showed up, chaos followed. Ed Conroy of http://retrontario.com breaks down the bizarre, unforgettable events at Comiskey Park. From the radio shock jock who pitched the idea, to the deeper anti-disco sentiment brewing in America, this episode explores how one night became a flashpoint for music, sports, and social tension. Discover how a gimmick for better ticket sales spiraled into a riot and marked the symbolic end of an era. GUEST:Ed Conroy@‌retrontariohttp://retrontario.com Originally aired on 2025-10-30
