Memory Jogger Podcast Special: '80s Innovations

In this special episode, Wyatt and Jason discuss innovations from the 80s and how they impacted their lives. We brainstormed a list of many items from technology to toys to pop culture in general and chose our Top 3 favorites. We then run down the rest of the list and even share some instant feedback from Twitter. It was a real fun conversation about how unique the 1980s decade truly was.
