Hey there, it's Kathy. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to History of the 90s

early and ad-free on Amazon music included with Prime.

On the night of July 10th, 1908, a group of teenagers made their way to Teal's Pond in upstate

New York. They pitched tents and went about setting up a campsite in the heavily

wooded area, about 20 minutes from the small town of Troy. The plan was to fish and squirrel hunt

the next day, followed by a night of eating and drinking. But in the morning light, those plans were

a show that didn't just push boundaries.

Think Breaking Bad and The Wire.

But none of those shows would exist if it weren't for Twin Peaks, which first aired nearly a decade

before The Sopranos.
