This one's a doozy! Kari and Joe take a crazy ride through a compilation Joe bought for 50% off at the Hollywood Bowl called Hits 80’s, and with that weird syntax and punctuation, you guessed right, it’s from France!

Join Joe, Kari and special guest DJ Matt Bailer to discuss Matt's special project revisiting the music of 1980 to create his own personalized top 40 charts! He has discovered so many great lost songs he wants to share with you! 1980 usually means boring boring boring, but not this time.

New ep! We go just a bit outside to talk about those songs that hit the Hot 100 but peaked b/t number 41 and number 100. This time around it's 6 tracks from 1989, including brothers covering brothers, an icon in her adult contemporary era and more hair metal than you can shake a can of aqua net at.

New episode has dropped with special guest @domshaheen.bsky.social! We talk novelty songs (including some real doozies "by" Ronald Reagan), New Zealand superstar Margaret Urlich and some great live clips from 80s acts at the recent Radio 2 in the Park festival in the UK. Join us!

Get ready for episode 280 (dropping this Tuesday) on Novelty Songs by watching this video from "Reathel Bean & the Doonesbury Break Crew". Or absolutely do not do that and let Kari, Joe and special guest @domshaheen.bsky.social just describe the horror to you.

Episode 279 has dropped! Kari and Joe don't want to work, they just want to bang on the vibraslap all day, so... we did. Well, we talked about songs that used vibraslap for about 50 minutes, same difference. Join us for the fun!

Also in this episode, it's time for the next part of the ongoing QUIZ series, find out if Joe finally catches up to Kari! Here are some visual clues for questions you will hear.

Ep 240 has dropped! Time for part 2 of our series highlighting the Best Pop Songs NEVER to Hit the Hot 100, according to Billboard. Why did great songs from Change, Tears for Fears and others NOT hit the Hot 100? Billboard has their reasons, which are myriad (Heathers reference, nailed it).

They also discuss live versions, demos, or remixes. Get ready for chatter about Genesis, Janet Jackson, Bruce Hornsby & The Range, Cyndi Lauper, and more! Find out if any of your faves made this totally subjective list!

Happy New Year, folks! Joe and Kari are starting off 2024 with a bang! They've chosen their Top Five Number One singles of the 80's and discuss each one's merits. hrt80s.buzzsprout.com/259502/14227...

Happy new year to all 80s music lovers! Cheers to 2024.

Get your Saturday started right. 🏈 www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1zC...

Sorry I'm bad at remembering to post, but Episode 223 has dropped! It's odds and ends that Joe and Kari have collected over the past few weeks due to Instagram stories, Apple Music playlists, and suggestions from Loyal Listeners.

Episode 220 is here! First of all, we want to thank listener Giovanni for suggesting some songs to discuss during our episode devoted to Italo Disco! Synthesizer-heavy songs from Gazebo, Milva, and Via Verdi are discussed. www.buzzsprout.com/259502/13476...

Your mission before this week's episode drops tomorrow - should you choose to accept it (Kari finally got around to seeing the latest M:I movie last night) - is to watch this video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBjr...
