This week on Saturday Morning Flashback, Johnny Mars took us on a time warp back to 1998. You can Google what happened that year, thanks to the fact that Google is founded in September of 1998. Astrophysicists provide evidence that the universe is expanding faster and faster. And the Chicago Bulls expand their trophy case with a repeat of the three-peat after winning their third consecutive NBA Championship. Tune in Saturday mornings from 9 to noon, and stream from anywhere using the free Audacy app.
