2023 Geek Culture Retrospective and Power Rangers Discussion

Steve Megatron and TFG1Mike kick off 2024 by reflecting on their podcasting journey—153 episodes released across the GCRN in 2023—and diving into memories of beloved stores that are no longer around. From Blockbuster and Toys R Us to Circuit City, Sam Goody, Walden Books, Sears, and Kmart, they discuss what made these retailers special, their personal shopping experiences, and why they've disappeared. The conversation also touches on retail quality compared to modern shopping, including a discussion of toy manufacturing and collectibles. Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.
