As of November 2026, the 1920s has been mentioned in one podcast episode on The Ezra Klein Show (Nov 2025). Mentioned as a period of cultural and political change.

The 1920s was a decade that began on January 1, 1920, and ended on December 31, 1929. Primarily known for the economic boom that occurred in the Western World following the end of World War I (1914–1918), the decade is frequently referred to as the "Roaring Twenties" or the "Jazz Age" in America and Western Europe, and the "Golden Twenties" in Germany, while French speakers refer to the period as the "Années folles" to emphasize the decade's social, artistic, and cultural dynamism.
