    Episode 83: When Gen X Came of Age
    Jul 17 2024
    Let’s plop down on the couch in your favorite record store or skate shop for a few minutes. It’s time to relive the end of the 1980s and begin a new decade of cultural change. In this episode we discuss what was in the news, the invention of the "slacker" character, the mood of skepticism, irony and emotional detachment that grew out of the glossy 80s, culture jamming and not selling out even as personal technology began to take hold. We also try to get to the bottom of whatever the term "alternative" actually meant. So crack open your most authentic local brew. It's time to dig in the crates. - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-83-genx-comes-of-age - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?

    Episode 82: Riffs on Riffs Crossover
    Jul 3 2024
    Record albums. You know 'em. You love 'em. But do your favorites fall short when art overshadows music (or vice versa)? We invited a couple of buddies to the bar — Joe Watson and Toby Brazwell from the Riffs on Riffs podcast — for a conversation about a handful of desert island-level albums: how they sound, what they look like and if, ultimately, the combination works. We talk earworms, visual puns, the classic and the obscure, leveraging their expertise to make us look smart and their wallets to cover our tab. Crack open a beverage, find a seat and see if any of your picks are on our list. - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-82-riffs-on-riffs Check out Riffs on Riffs when you need a break from us. https://evergreenpodcasts.com/riffs-on-riffs - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?

    Episode 81: Fun Food Containers
    Jun 19 2024
    History repeats itself... There are no new ideas… Everything old is new again… Sure, we get excited when we have custom meal kits delivered to our homes or when we see amazing food in farmer’s markets and grocery stores near our homes. But food marketing has been around for a really long time. Today we discuss a couple of popular approaches from yesterday that continue to reappear in pop culture today: Charles Chips and fruit crate labels. - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-81-fun-food-containers - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?
