I Completed 80s Music
The 80s MixtaperIn 2016 I started listening to every single UK chart entry from January 1st 1980 to December 31st 1989.

Canadaa year ago Really interesting pod. I was a kid in the 80s and while I remember the music fondly, I never knew any of the backstories. And the pod being in chronological order means we get to see the story unfold. But it's a lot of songs. Be amazing if the dude manages to get to the end!
Podchaser5a year agoChris F- Great fun!
A solid start! Just hope the guy manages to keep it going. Going end to end in the 80s, that’s a lot of music!
Would have been great to have the music in the episodes, bit of a faff having to play outside the episode, but I get the copyright problem.
