Stuck in the '80s explores that MTV-generation nostalgia that still stirs up emotion no matter what the age. Whether it's '80s movies, pop culture, music or old-school memories, this engaging podcast will help you reminisce and chuckle about a defining era of history. Rad!
I have been a loyal listener of The Stuck in the '80s Podcast for several years now and I cannot recommend it enough. This podcast first came into my life around two summers ago and I quickly became hooked. At first, I listened to episodes sporadically, choosing ones that interested me, but eventually, I decided to start from the beginning and listen to every single episode. I made it through over 200 episodes before deciding to start all over again because I wanted to catch any story plots or details that I may have missed during my first listen. Now, I'm around episode 430 and still thoroughly entertained by this podcast.
One of the best aspects of The Stuck in the '80s Podcast is the hosts' passion and knowledge about the 80s. Steve and Brad have an incredible chemistry and their love for this decade shines through in each episode. They cover a wide range of topics including movies, music, TV shows, and events that defined the 80s. Their enthusiasm is infectious and it's clear that they put a lot of effort into researching each topic they discuss.
Another standout feature of this podcast is their recurring segment called "Close But No Cigar," where they dive into movies or albums that didn't quite make it big in the 80s but still hold a special place in fans' hearts. This segment is not only entertaining but also offers a unique perspective on lesser-known gems from the decade.
I will say that one potential downside of this podcast is its narrow focus on the 80s. While this may be perfect for die-hard fans like myself who grew up during that time, it may not appeal as much to listeners who didn't experience or have a connection to that era. Additionally, some may find certain episodes less interesting depending on their personal taste in music or movies from the 80s.
In conclusion, The Stuck in the '80s Podcast is a fantastic listen for anyone who has a fondness or nostalgia for the 80s. The hosts' passion, knowledge, and engaging discussions make each episode enjoyable and entertaining. Whether you're reliving your favorite childhood memories or discovering new aspects of the 80s, this podcast is a must-listen.

Pete Byrne of Naked Eyes was one of the first interviews I did solo for Stuck in the '80s. It was back in 2008 and I had just seen the band perform as part of the Regeneration Tour in Las Vegas.
