80s Nostalgia for the Win!

I have become a recent listening of the Children of the 80s podcast with Jim and Lisa. They do such a great job of allowing you to join them on a conversation about fun times from our youth. I particularly enjoyed the episodes on the greatest baseball movies of the 80s and the episode on “We Are The World”.

I also particularly enjoy Jim’s encyclopedic knowledge of the music charts from the 80s.

Keep up the good work!
