EIGHTIES ODDITIES: When Weird Was Cool

Ah yes, the 1980s! The era of Regan, New Coke, and Max Headroom. But you know what else the 1980s were? WEIRD. Yes, in the cocaine fueled mania of 80s music there was a whole lot of weirdness booming across the air waves. This episode RADIO BANZAI takes you on a trip back in time to hear some of the strangest and most bizarre pop music the era had to offer. This will definitely NOT be a safe space.
