Travel through the 80s with the 80s Kids Podcast artwork

This podcast talks about all things that made up the decade of excess: the 1980’s! Unlike other 80’s podcasts, we take one full week and talk about all the events that made that week special: movies, TV, music, news, sports, toys, comic books, and even wrestling! Anything that happened during the week is open for discussion. We even invite guests to sit in and talk about their influence on the 80’s and how it influenced them! So slide on you hi-tops, put on your acid wash jeans and Hypercolor t-shirt; hop in your DeLorean time machine and join us for a true blast about the past!
