Episode description

Here is the latest from The Year Was, which is that thing I do every week. We are up to episode 170. This time we examine the year 1944 as Muppeteer, actor, director Frank Oz is born, 1977 as Star Wars is released, and 2001 as Erik Weihenmayer becomes the first blind man to scale Mount Everest.

Theme music by The Tim Kreitz Band
