In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

The Music Gen X Grew Up On — And Why It Still Hits Hard 15:03

for 6 weeks siden15:03

15:03

In this episode, we dive deep into how 1980s music shaped the identity of Generation X—through rebellion, raw emotion, and boundary-pushing experimentation. From the underground punk scenes in Washington, D.C. and L.A. to the rise of New Wave, synthpop, heavy metal, and early hip-hop, this era wasn’t just a sonic shift—it was a cultural awakening. Gen X didn’t just listen to music, they used it to define themselves in a world they didn’t trust. This isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about understanding the roots of a generation's worldview. We explore the influential bands who still headline festivals today, as well as the lesser-known artists who built the foundation of Gen X’s musical ethos from the fringes. You'll hear how the DIY spirit of the 80s underground gave birth to college radio movements, zine culture, and independent record labels that reshaped music forever. These were not trends—they were lifelines. Whether you grew up in the era or are discovering it for the first time, this episode is your guide to understanding why 80s music still resonates. If you’ve ever wondered how Gen X became the generation of skeptics, outliers, and cultural disruptors—the answer starts with the music.…

From Iconic Michael Jackson to Aquanet's Unexpected Cultural Reach-A Time of Discovery!-WEEKEND FLASHBACK! 14:33

for 16 weeks siden14:33

14:33

Michael Jackson’s "Billie Jean," a song that transcends generations. “It’s so much more than just a catchy tune,” the host notes. Released during the peak of Jackson’s fame, "Billie Jean" came at a time when the King of Pop was both riding high on the success of his *Thriller* album and battling the pressures of public scrutiny, including high-profile paternity lawsuits. “You can practically hear those courtroom whispers woven into the lyrics,” the host continues. “When he sings, ‘the kid is not my son,’ it’s raw. Almost desperate. You can feel the pressure he was under.” The podcast explores how Jackson never directly confirmed if the song was about a specific person, but listeners are left to interpret its deeper themes of doubt, denial, and the overwhelming weight of fame. The discussion also touches on the musical magic that made "Billie Jean" unforgettable. The collaboration between Jackson and producer Quincy Jones is highlighted as a meeting of creative minds, combining Jackson’s pure musical instinct with Jones’ masterful production techniques. “Then you’ve got that bassline,” the host adds, praising Louis Johnson’s work. “It’s instantly recognizable, almost hypnotic. It’s a masterclass in restraint—simple, yet it anchors the whole song.” The episode reminds listeners of the groundbreaking impact of "Billie Jean," not just musically but visually, with the iconic music video and Jackson’s famous moonwalk debut. Switching gears, the podcast takes a humorous yet insightful look at Aquanet, the hairspray that became a staple of 80s big hair culture. “Picture that blue and pink can—everyone had one!” the host jokes. But Aquanet’s story goes beyond styling hair; the podcast reveals its surprising role in history, from the Civil Rights movement to NASA space shuttle missions. “Did you know astronauts used Aquanet in space?” the host asks, explaining how the hairspray was used to control flyaway hair in zero gravity. The episode even delves into rumors of Aquanet’s use in Cold War espionage, where the spray allegedly played a role in concealing secret messages. Beyond its practical uses, Aquanet also found its way into the art world as a fixative for charcoal and pastel drawings. “Artists used it for decades,” the host explains, adding yet another layer to the legacy of this seemingly simple product. With humor and depth, the Gen X Time Machine podcast offers more than just a trip down memory lane—it uncovers the cultural and historical significance behind the everyday objects and music that defined a generation. The episode wraps with a call for listeners to subscribe and continue the journey, teasing more deep dives into the trends and moments that shaped Gen X. “Your ride isn’t over yet,” the host says, reminding fans that more iconic moments are waiting in the podcast’s feed. Whether you’re reminiscing about Michael Jackson’s moonwalk or laughing at Aquanet mishaps, the Gen X Time Machine has something for everyone who remembers the era of big hair and bigger music. Make sure to hit subscribe and never miss another deep dive into the culture of the 80s and 90s. #michaeljackson #aquanet #billiejean #hairspray #genx #80's…
