After two decades of talking to some of the greatest musicians of the 1980s, Steve has written a book relaying some of those interviews: Stuck in the ’80s: 20 Years of Conversations with Pop Culture Icons Who Defined a Decade.
Milo and Steve discuss why ’80s music is so timeless, the impact of MTV, and share a few other stories about why they love being stuck in the ’80s.
Stuck in the ’80s: 20 Years of Conversations with Pop Culture Icons Who Defined a Decade
A new book by Steve Spears
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.
