Book Synopsis

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.

Inside, you'll find conversations with legendary voices of the era, including:

Steve Perry of Journey
Brian Johnson of AC/DC
Kenny Loggins
Weird Al Yankovic
The original MTV Veejays
Adam Ant
Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran
Debbie Gibson
Rick Springfield
Olivia Newton-John
Joe Elliott of Def Leppard and many more

Funny, moving, and deeply nostalgic, Stuck in the '80s is a celebration of the stories and the shared memories that still matter to Gen X decades later.

If '80s music, movies, and pop culture still live rent-free in your head, this book was written for you.
