About this episode

The episode discusses the pivotal changes in technology and media that occurred in 1996.

You may not recognize it, but 1996 was a very pivotal year for the world at large. Computers came of age, the internet was taking shape, satellite TV started to grow, and a major change in the Telecommunications Act changed radio, television, and cable in a dramatic way. It was more of a course change than most people remember. Those who were born after were very different than those who were born before that time. Now, do you believe in this ministry?
