Hoosier Nostalgia Alert: Radio Station Bumper Sticker in ST

The latest season of Stranger Things has reignited fan speculation, with a subtle yet significant detail resonating deeply with Indiana locals. A bumper sticker for Indianapolis' Q95 radio station, home of the Bob and Tom Morning Show, was spotted in a scene, delighting many Hoosier viewers.

This inclusion of a nationally syndicated show, which began in 1983 and gained widespread popularity by 1995, offers a powerful nostalgic connection for those who grew up listening. The sticker appeared briefly in the first episode, a nod from someone on the production team to a beloved piece of Indiana's cultural landscape.

While the series is set in the 1980s, a period rich with prominent Hoosier figures, the author expresses frustration over the lack of deeper Indiana-specific references. The inclusion of the Q95 sticker, however, provides a moment of shared cultural memory for the state's residents, even as the show continues its narrative.
