History of the 90s

Presenting an episode of American Criminal, a podcast that takes a deep dive into the stories of America’s most fascinating, devious and shocking criminals. The show is currently running a special five part season on Eric Rudolph. He’s the guy who planted a bomb at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and you may not know this but he also bombed an abortion clinic and a couple of gay bars before hiding out in the Appalachian wilderness for five years.

In this episode host Jeremy Schwartz looks back at Rudolph’s early days to try to understand how he became a bigoted anti-government extremist.

You can listen to the whole series as well as many other great episodes of American Criminal wherever you stream podcasts.

Presenting: American Criminal

In April 1996, a gunman killed 35 people in what was and still is Australia's worst mass shooting. The attack by Martin Bryant devasted the nation and inspired the government to quickly enact tough new gun laws that have been a model for other countries ever since.

The Cuban Rafter Crisis and the Fight for Elian Gonzalez | 155

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 nowfamous 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.

Phish and the 90s Jam Band Explosion | 154

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.

The Testimony of Anita Hill | 153

Snowboarding exploded in popularity during the 1990s, but its road to legitimacy was anything but smooth. On this episode of History of the 90s, Kathy Kenzora traces the rebellious roots of snowboarding, from outlaw status at ski hills to its mainstream breakthrough and eventual Olympic debut. 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. Together they trace snowboarding’s wild early days, the cultural clashes with the skiing establishment, and what it was like to stand at the center of a sport redefining winter athletics. It’s a deep dive into how the 90s helped turn snowboarding from counterculture to global phenomenon.

In November 1997, the shocking swarming murder of a BC teenager made international headlines and brought the issue of teen violence and bullying to the forefront.

14 year old Reena Virk was punched and kicked by a group of mainly teen girls after being swarmed under a bridge in the Victoria area. Later when she tried to stagger home, two of the teens followed her and continued the attack.

In this episode I’m joined by Caitlin and Graeme Duffy from the podcast True North True Crime as we look back at the murder of Reena Virk.
