Ed Conroy from RetrOntario.com joins Shane Hewitt to relive the wild, weird, and world-shifting year that was 1989—from "Wayne’s World" and Maestro Fresh Wes to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the birth of the web. It’s a nostalgic, high-energy look at a year that redefined rebellion, music, and media forever.

Tech journalist Carmi Levy joins Shane Hewitt to explore how 1989 quietly became one of the most revolutionary years in tech history. From Tim Berners-Lee’s web proposal to the launch of the Game Boy and Sega Genesis, it was the year that built the foundation for both the internet—and handheld gaming as we know it.
