[gentle music] If you want to understand the world today, you need to go back to the '90s. From the internet boom to the rise of reality TV, the 1990s changed the way we live. I'm Cathy Cantzora. On my podcast, History of the 90s, I go inside the stories, events, and trends that defined a decade, from the fall of communism to the rise of grunge. If it happened in the '90s, you'll hear about it on History of the 90s, wherever you stream audio.
