Stuck in the 80s! With special guest Steve Spears! | EP 149

This week, Steve & Jim welcome a true '80s authority: Steve Spears, creator and host of the long-running, award-winning Stuck in the '80s podcast (celebrating 20+ years and over 600 episodes!).We dive deep into the magic of the decade that gave us MTV, new wave, big hair, and unforgettable pop culture. Steve shares highlights from his incredible guest list—interviews with Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, leading artists, and pop icons who defined the era. We geek out over the music that still soundtracks our lives, from synth-heavy anthems to classic rock staples, while touching on the broader vibes of '80s movies, fashion, and memories. A big focus is Steve's exciting upcoming book, Stuck in the '80s: 20 Years of Conversations with Pop Culture Icons Who Defined a Decade (hitting shelves in March!). It's part memoir, part pop-culture history, packed with behind-the-mic stories from two decades of chats that capture why the '80s refuse to fade away. The trio also cover their most recent additions to their collections. Click here to hear the music we discuss on this episode's Spotify Playlist! Click here to listen to the Stuck In The 80s Podcast!
