March 1980: Disco’s Down, Cable’s Coming, and Blondie’s on the Line - #010

March 1980 was a turning point in pop culture, and the Feel Good Radio Podcast is rolling back the tape to revisit all the madness!In this episode, we’re taking a full-on rewind through the big screen, small screen, and soundwaves of the era. At the movies, action met dystopia in Mad Max, we laughed ourselves silly with Airplane!, and got inspired by the true story behind Coal Miner’s Daughter.Television in March 1980 was giving us sass, Southern flair, and groundbreaking representation with hit shows like Alice, The Dukes of Hazzard, and The Jeffersons. On the charts, music was in the middle of a major shift. Disco was on its way out, but it didn’t go quietly—Donna Summer’s “On the Radio” kept the groove alive, Blondie came in hot with “Call Me,” and Queen brought a fresh sound with “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”We’ll also dive into two cultural currents shaping the future: the fall of disco and the quiet but powerful rise of cable television. It’s all here in one jam-packed episode—movies, music, TV, and major trends—served up with insight, humor, and the signature feel-good energy you come to this show for.Turn it up and enjoy the ride back to March 1980!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ignite-studios--6258917/support.
