I love listening to this podcast by two people who lived through the decade but came of age in the 90s. It is a fresh take on the subject as they discover new things while also tackling topics that really should just be left in the 80s.
Description
Join your hosts, Joe Christopher and Kari Race, as they discuss all the outrageous hits, and those deeper hits, from the 80's! Which songs still hold up today, which songs should be left in the 80's, and which ones are hidden gems? We'll cover the well-known hits from the decade (Ghostbusters, anyone?), and even songs that you haven't heard in 30 years (paging Karla Bonoff). Dust off your Members Only jacket, crack open a Pepsi Free, and join us for segments like "Just a Bit Outside" and "Coming Around Again" and more! Chime in on Facebook at www.facebook.com/hrt80s or on Twitter @hrt80s.
