Inhaltsangabe

Have you ever wished you could talk with your ’80s idols?

Award-winning podcast creator and host Steve Spears takes readers behind the microphone for the conversations, close calls, and unforgettable moments that turned a simple work experiment into a 20-year obsession.

Launched in 2005, Stuck in the ’80s has grown into one of the longest-running nostalgia podcasts on the internet, with nearly 800 episodes and a devoted global audience. In this book, Spears shares the stories that never made it to tape—from interviews that soared to moments that nearly unraveled. Part memoir, part pop-culture history, Stuck in the ’80s explores why certain memories endure and why the music of the 1980s never really lets go.

"This book is as fun, heartfelt, and tubular as Steve’s legendary podcast. If you love the music, the memories, and the magic of the decade that changed everything, Stuck in the '80s is, like, an absolute must." - Martha Quinn, original MTV veejay

"This book is a love letter, not just to a decade, but to a feeling. Steve captures all the emotion and passion that '80s music, film, TV, technology, and culture had on our generation. And he does it with a humor and heart that make him as interesting as any of the stars he’s interviewed.” – Alexi Lalas, Fox Sports soccer analyst, National Soccer Hall of Fame inductee
