Y2K: The Year 2000 (ft. Jack Grimes)

Welcome to Planet Tomorrow! In this inaugural episode, we travel back to the year 2000. We’re talking forgotten children’s toys, end of the world novelty songs, and more. Then, what does it mean for something to look like “Y2K”? Jack Grimes from the Consumer Aesthetics Research Institute (CARI) breaks it down.
