  • This is a special podcast

    I’ve been listening to this show for more than ten years now and these guys have unlocked something special in a way not many podcasters can get close to doing. If you have a love for the 80’s you NEED to check this podcast out. These guys have a great talent for telling a story and a wicked sense of humour. They do their research and everything they say comes off being authentic. The name of the show is 100% appropriate. Keep up the great work guys 👍

  • A podcast after my own heart

    These guys talk 80s music like I like to talk about 80s music. Love all the hosts but Spearsy and Brad are the heart. I saved the Rush episode for the 40th anniversary of Moving Pictures and when I can’t sleep it never fails to help me relax. This is podcast comfort food at its finest.

  • Horrible since Dailey left

    Found it a couple months ago. Listened to first 275 episodes quickly. It was great with spears and Dailey. After Dailey left it’s borderline unlistenable due to the extreme unlikability of the other hosts.

  • Never thought the 80’s could be this boring

    I like all the topics they cover and it’s nice to have on in the background when I’m doing other things or going to sleep. Unfortunately none of the hosts have an ounce of charisma. They call themselves “stuck in the 80’s,” but they seem like they hate every song and movie they talk about. Definitely better than other podcasts where the hosts are screaming or laughing like hyenas, but definitely needs to liven up a little and stop trying to be too cool to like anything.
