  • My new favorite podcast!!!!

    As a child of the 80's and lover of music, this podcast nails it. The hosts have great chemistry, and know their facts. I grew up in Columbia, Missouri and currently live in St. Louis Missouri. So to find out the hosts are from my home state makes it even better. Give it a listen, because you won't be disappointed. Five stars all the way!!!!
