This is going to be hard to explain. So I'll just simply say - go look for a show called 2 Sense, all of the episodes are available on Internet Archive. It was a very niche show that was hosted by a furry named 2 The Ranting Gryphon.
This is an online radio show that predates a tiny bit before podcasting as a term and as a form of entertainment began to gain ground. I'll warn you that, yes some of the content on that show will not be what you'd expect. A lot of the content on that show will be politically incorrect. A lot of content on that show will come off as juvenile and immature at times, if not entire shows.
But this is the kind of show I listen to annually that just drives me back in time. Not because I particularly was in favor of the personalities of this show or anything. But it's the things they cover and talk about that I reflect on sometimes compared to where things are now in the world and society.
I wasn't even an active listener of this show until about 2008, towards the tail end of it's second run. And quite frankly, listening to those episodes are very unbearable to me now because the content from 2007-2008 of the episodes are very loose and it really became a soapbox for the primary host, 2 Gryphon, to start airing out his most raw takes on how he feels about certain groups of people.
