Hey! Remember the 80's?
Join your hosts, Joe Christopher and Kari Race, as they discuss all the outrageous hits, and those deeper hits, from the 80's! Which songs still hold up today, which songs should be left in the 80's, and which ones are hidden gems? We'll cover the well-known hits from the decade (Ghostbusters, anyone?), and even songs that you haven't heard in 30 years (paging Karla Bonoff). Dust off your Members Only jacket, crack open a Pepsi Free, and join us for segments like "Just a Bit Outside" and "Coming Around Again" and more!

Hey! Remember the 80's?
Episode 280 - Novelty Songs (with Friend of the Podcast Dom)
Join Kari, Joe and special guest Dom (aka DC Sheehan) to explore the full range of novelty songs of the 80s. There's one that hit the top 40, one by the king of novelty pop himself, one that went all the way to NUMBER ONE in the UK (and number two in New Zealand, but don't blame Dom, he didn't buy it), and two "rap" "songs" that... defy any and all explanation.
Then get ready to be introduced to the beautiful voice (and commanding stage presence) of Margaret Urlich, a New Zealand singer who was a multi-award winner with both a group and as a solo artist, made chart history as the decade ended and actually did the impossible (got Kari to appreciate a cover of Don't Dream It's Over).
All that, plus live clips from some favorite 80s acts at the recent Radio 2 in the Park festival in the UK and the shocking confession from Joe that he, in fact, is aware of horses as a species.
