This is In Retrospect, a podcast about pop culture from the 80s and 90s that shaped

us.

I'm very much a product of the pop culture I consumed, and I don't think that's a bad

thing.

I'm Jessica Bennett, a New York Times writer and bestselling author.

I'm Susie Beta Caram, an award-winning TV producer and filmmaker.

Every week we'll revisit a moment in cultural history that we just can't stop thinking about.

From tabloid headlines to illicit student teacher relationships, and one, very memorable

red swimsuits.

I found myself in Pamela Anderson's attic as you do.

I put that red swimsuit in a safe because it seemed everybody wanted it.

We're digging deep to better understand with these moments taught us about the world and

are placing it.

I want you to really smell the axe body spray that emanated during this time.

It was presented more as kind of like a crime topic, and that's not a lie, not a love

story.

It had been branded on the uteruses of every single woman from sea to shining sea.
