À propos de cet audio
This week on Chat and Bother, we're rewinding to a time when the news didn't just break—it spilled, fell apart, and in one case… got cut short.
We're unpacking three of the most can-you-believe-this-was-real stories from the 80s and 90s:
- the Exxon Valdez oil spill, when corporate responsibility ran aground and cleanup plans clearly weren't shipshape;
- Milli Vanilli, who taught us that sometimes the music hits… but the truth skips;
- and Lorena Bobbitt, a story so shocking it had America clutching pearls, cracking jokes, and learning way more anatomy than anyone asked for. T
hese headlines dominated classrooms, talk shows, and dinner tables, shaping how we learned to distrust big companies, pop stars, and the phrase "based on a true story." We break down what really happened, how the media ran with it, and why these moments still live rent-free in our Gen X brains.
