As Spearsy digs out from Hurricane Irma, we take a quick look at the stormiest moments of the ’80s.
Plus the answer to a tough Mystery TV seggie and a special deal from our sponsor FanDuel!

Episode 418: Rockers Gone Solo, Vol. 4
We started this series AGES ago. But it’s been so long that we’d forgotten all about it: Rockers gone solo in the ’80s. When we started planning this show, we actually picked singers we’d already honored. Go figure. Anyway, we managed to get our act together and chose three more rockers who went solo in the ’80s: Dennis DeYoung, Jane Wiedlin and Jerry Harrison.
Also, full seggies!
Episode 417: 1st Wave DJ Richard Blade Interview
Richard Blade, the voice of Sirius XM First Wave and KROQ pioneer, joins Spearsy for a chat about his career, his friendship with Depeche Mode, his upcoming biography and his appearance at ’80s In the Sand.
Also included in this week’s show: The saddest letter yet from “Wearybear” on love mistakes, return of Mystery TV Theme Song and an amazing deal from our new sponsor Away.
Episode 416: Cover Songs in the ’80s
Part 6 of our series on amazing tunes from the ’80s that are actually covers from earlier years, including the best-known hit from Bow Wow Wow. Featuring guest co-host Gayle in DC. Also full seggies.
Oh, and head’s up: Our special promo code “STUCK” for the ’80s Cruise expires on Sept. 5. And the ship is nearly sold out. So get off the fence and come join us for the vacation of a lifetime.
Episode 415: Cobra Kai, Journey Trouble, Miami Vice and More
So much news to discuss this week: a spinoff of the Karate Kid, troubles with Journey, Miami Vice’s return to TV and so much more. It’s all part of our Eighties News Now show, which makes it triumphant return this week.
Plus, we have special news about the promo code for The 80s Cruise. I’ll spill the beans here: You have to use the promo code “STUCK” before Sept. 5, 2017, to get the price discount. After Sept. 5, the prices on the remaining cabins will rise. The ship is already 85 percent sold out, so the sooner the book, the longer you have to pay it off. Monthly payment plans are available.
