We re-listen to one of our favorite podcasts from the early days of Stuck in the ’80s.

Here are a few tunes that reached No. 2 on the British charts in 1977 but got no further.

This week we honor albums by Luther Vandross, Sheila E, the Hooters, Big Audio Dynamite and more.

In 20 years of Stuck in the ’80s, we’ve yet to hear from any of Steve’s friends from the actual 1980s. That ends with this week’s episode: a conversation with former University of Florida student newspaper editor and now author Derek Catron.

Is “Die Hard” a Christmas movie? We answer that nagging query and more with special guest Brian Abrams, author of “Die Hard: An Oral History.”

We start a new series with this episode on our favorite inspirational moments from ’80s classics.
