Sometimes the pop culture we love just teens hits differently in retrospect.

Maybe it's a tabloid story we couldn't get enough of or an illicit student-teacher relationship

on our favorite show. We're Suzy Banna-Karim and Jessica Bennett,

posts of the new podcast in retrospect, where each week we'll revisit a cultural moment from

the past that shaped us and probably you to try to understand what it taught us about the world

and our place in it. You're the first person that I've talked to about this for years and years.

Listen to in retrospect on the iHeart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you find your

favorite shows. Everyone in our country has a voice. It's something that says not just where you

come from but who you are. Welcome to NPR's Black Stories Black Truths, a collection of podcasts

and a celebration of the hosts and journalism who've always spoken truth to power.

Our voices are as varied, nuanced and dynamic as the Black experience and stories should never

be about us without us. Find NPR Black Stories Black Truths on the iHeart Radio app or wherever

you get your podcasts. We're supposed to learn from our own mistakes that other people's errors

can be instructive too, from efforts to control the weather that went disastrously awry to the

untimely death of the Segway boss. History is a treasure trove, mishaps and meltdowns to

and teachers all. I'm Tim Harford, host of cautionary tales, the podcast that mines the greatest

fiascoes of the past for their most valuable lessons. Listen to cautionary tales on the iHeart

Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

relationship world because they thought they had everything until they went to the bakery and

found hubby dunking their donuts and somebody else's coffee cup. God, he's a donut hole now.
