S11 Ep18: Ted Turner Changed Gen X Childhoods

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we say goodbye to one of the most influential media figures of the Gen X era — Ted Turner. From WTBS after-school marathons and Atlanta Braves baseball to Cartoon Network, CNN, WCW, and the strange magic of shows starting at 5:05 and 7:35… we look back at how Turner quietly shaped the childhoods of an entire generation. Plus: thoughts on Widow’s Bay, The Boys, and Lord of the Flies, Laura Dern joining The White Lotus, Jeff’s scam alert after getting hit with a surprise $199 charge, Tim’s awkward David Cross encounter, Trailer Trash, and a fresh round of Views or Snooze featuring M.I.A., Remarkably Bright Creatures, and the Roast of Kevin Hart. Also this week’s Staff Picks include , The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Eugene Mirman’s comedy special, and Lizzie’s dangerously creamy coconut Dr Pepper obsession. 🎧 New episodes weekly from the Radio Labyrinth crew — Gen X pop culture, movies, TV, comedy, nostalgia, and absolute nonsense. 👉 Don’t forget to LIKE,
