Rad or Fa‪d‬ ForthHand

This week we travel 20 minutes into the future, to 1984!!! Wait, how does that work??? Anyway, it’s Max Headroom on Rad or Fad as we break down the cultural significance of this heavily used character in the 80’s. How was the show? Will Kenny Loggins sue us? And, was Max Headroom RAD?!?!?! All that this week on Rad or Fad.

If it hasn’t been you day, your week, your month, or even your year then this is the show for you! For episodes 1 of Rad or Fad it’s The One About Friends (see what we did there). We talk the show, the cast, how it influenced pop culture, and finally…. Is It Still Rad, or was it just a Fad that deserves to be forgotten. All that and more on the show that always ask “How You Doin’?” - Rad or Fad!
