If you love all things 80s and reminiscing about those times or just learning about them, this is the podcast for you. The friendly banter between the hosts shows their unparalleled chemistry. It is funny and informative. I never miss an episode
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!
