Living in the Past

This week we are talking all about December 1998.

We invite our good friend Shannon Bowling back to look through the end of year ARIA Single and Albums charts plus the Hottest 100 for 1998.

This week, we bid farewell to the spooky season with a special Halloween Eve watch along of 1998's Urban Legend. Listen as Ben repeatably confuses the lead actress for someone else, some questionable face acting, a very 90s soundtrack and possibly one of the best kills in a 90s horror so far.
