Introduction of New Show and Nostalgia

The transformation of the podcast into '60 Songs That Explain the 90s: The 2000s' indicates a shift towards exploring the music of the new millennium while still holding onto the nostalgia of the past. This title suggests a focus on iconic artists of the 2000s, such as The Strokes, Rihanna, J.Lo, and Kanye, showcasing their cultural impact during that decade. The host’s refusal to refer to the 2000s as 'the aughts' underlines a preference for a more relatable and accessible term that resonates with listeners. Such a framework allows for a rich discussion of how these artists shaped the music scene at the turn of the century, establishing a foundation for the show’s future episodes.
