Hey everyone, it's Kathy. On this episode of History of the 90s, we're doing things a little differently.

Response to our earlier episode on The Simpsons was so great that we decided to revisit the show

by looking back at some of the best episodes from the 90s, with a little help from you, our listeners.

I sent out a request and asked you what Simpsons episode from the Golden Age of the
