RETROHOLICS PODCAST EP2: CAPTAIN PLANET

Take an animated trip down memory lane with Retroholics. Though there are some great modern cartoons, there is something special, nostalgic, and everlasting about the more retro cartoons. Retro doesn't necessarily imply old, but more so a product of a different time, subject to its own temporally unique set of qualities and traits. These shows not only captured the hearts of its target audience, but had elements and concepts that still are relevant and engaging today!

Episode 2 Captain Planet: "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" is an American animated environmentalist television program, based on an idea by Ted Turner and Robert Larkin III about five teenagers who are all given magic rings by Gaia, the Spirit of Earth. Kwame from Africa, Wheeler from North America, Linka from Soviet Union (changed to Eastern Europe after the Soviet Union's collapse), Gi from Asia and Ma-Ti from South America. When the powers of the five rings are combined (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Heart), an environmental superhero, Captain Planet, is summoned. It ran episodes from September 10, 1990 until December 5, 1992. A sequel series, The New Adventures of Captain Planet, ran for three seasons.
