Place to Be Nation POP Experience

On the 38th edition of Pop Goes the Classics, Andy Atherton, Mirandia Berthold, and Steve Riddle head to the beaches of Hawaii to discuss the 42nd Disney animated feature, Lilo & Stitch. Join the trio as they discuss: the voice cast for the film; Stitch's journey throughout the story; the trials of Lilo and Nani; Cobra Bubbles: the greatest name in Disney history, the use of Elvis Presley music throughout the film; the bumbling of Jumba and Pleakley; changes to the film due to real life events; Gantu's effectiveness, or lack thereof; the universe spawned from this film, and where it lands against the previous films released. So join Andy, Mirandia, and Steve as they learn the true meaning "Ohana" and continue their journey through the Disney Animated Film Canon.

Welcome to PTBN Pop’s Video Jukebox Song of The Day! Every weekday will be featuring a live watch of a great and memorable music video. On today’s episode, Steve Riddle is watching “What I’ve Done” by Linkin Park from 2007.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we bring to you our annual Thanksgiving celebration!
 
First, it's an It Was a Thing on TV tradition like no other.  Every year since 2019, we have looked at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in chronological order, starting with the 1983 parade.  We're up to the 1987 parade.  What characters will star in this parade?  What products will advertisers shove down our throats?  And did Charlie Brown ever get a growth spurt!
 
Then, the holiday tradition at the podcast now starts its trek going back in time, starting with the 1982 edition of The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  How does it compare to what we have seen from later in the 80s and why are so many kids expressing their emotions?
 
Finally, thirty Thanksgivings ago, Leon Lett committed one of the most boneheaded plays in NFL history.  Oddly enough, less than a year earlier, Lett previously committed another one of the most boneheaded plays in NFL history, on the biggest stage of them all.

It's that most wonderful time of the year, and for NBA fans, it's only the beginning. So while the casuals were watching football and stuffing faces for Thanksgiving, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back to catch you up on all thing National Basketball Association in the last month. Why are the veteran Warriors putting themselves in a headlock with suspensions and ejections on top of an already-thin roster? Is it possible that in May, we will see the Minnesota Timberwolves and Sacramento Kings as the last two teams left in a stacked Western Conference? Is it Embiid versus Jokic once again for the league MVP race? And in our annual December debate: Do we really believe in the Orlando Magic this time? Riche and Adam also talk about the upcoming In-Season Tournament in Las Vegas, the injury epidemic in Memphis, the precarious Chicago Bulls, and much more! So suit up and take it out in episode 290 with the NBA-Team!

This week on It Was a Thing on TV it’s Week 3 of the Doctor Who 60th anniversary celebration!
 
First, by the mid 1980s, Doctor Who had emerged as one of the BBC’s longest-running brands, but even then it was getting long in the tooth. In 1986, they tried something big - a season-long arc, resulting in “The Trial of a Time Lord”. Will the Doctor be brought to justice? Will audiences be brought to watch?
 
Then, "Doctor Who" has had a storied history these past 60 years, but thanks to the economics of television at the time, it - much like that of any TV show at the time - is sketchy at best. But recently, the BBC has ramped up efforts to find and restore episodes long lost to tape wiping by any means necessary. We look at how this piece of TV history is being preserved and what is still missing media.
