It’s been 30 years since FBI agents finally captured the man who mailed more than 16 bombs to unsuspecting victims in the US, killing 3 and injuring 23 others. For two decades officials searched for the elusive terrorist known as the Unabomber. His victims appeared random, his motives unclear and the only sighting of him resulted in a now famous composite drawing of a man in a hoodie with aviator sunglasses. In this episode, originally broadcast in 2021, we explore the investigation and capture of Ted Kazinski. This is The Long Hunt for the Unabomber.

S1 Ep 154The Testimony of Anita Hill I 153
In July 1991 President George HW Bush nominated Clarence Thomas to the US Supreme Court. Initial reaction to the nomination suggested there would be a contentious Senate confirmation battle that would probe Thomas’s conservative views on issues such as abortion and affirmative action. But there was no real concern that Bush’s pick might not be approved. That is until one woman’s testimony threatened to derail the entire process. In this episode of History of the 90s we look back at the moment when the little know concept of workplace sexual harassment was catapulted into public consciousness. This is the testimony of Anita Hill. Guest Info: Rev. Dr. Traci C.

S1 Ep 153Ross Rebagliati and Snowboarding I Revisited
Snowboarding exploded in popularity during the 1990s, but its road to legitimacy was anything but smooth.

Joining the show is Canadian snowboarder Ross Rebagliati, who made history at the 1998 Nagano Games by winning the very first Olympic gold medal in the sport.

Cod Moratorium I 142
In July 1992 the Canadian government banned cod fishing along Newfoundland’s east coast in an effort to help restore cod stocks that had been depleted due to overfishing. The moratorium was supposed to last 18 months but ended up being extended indefinitely. The collapse of the industry ended nearly five centuries of cod fishing, led to the largest industrial layoff in Canada, devastated Newfoundland’s economy and shook the province’s identity to the core.
