In 1979, NBC spent millions to produce a series that was supposed to save it from last place. Instead, it produced "Supertrain," a disaster of a drama that mixed railroads and disco. It baffled viewers, broke a TV icon's toe, and died a painful death.

Our guest is Dan Delgado, host of the awesome podcast "The Industry," which ended its first season with a wonderful podcast on "Supertrain."
