Adam Curry interview online

Hey 80s addicts, our latest episode of Stuck in the 80s, featuring an extensive interview with former MTV veejay and current podcasting god Adam Curry, is now online. Click here to listen or click here to subscribe to the series for free on iTunes.

If you're not already listening to Adam's Daily Source Code podcast, you're missing out. Go to dailysourcecode.com to hear it. (And again, it's available on iTunes.) He's also begun experimenting with video podcasts lately.

In our interview, Adam shares stories from the old days of MTV, dishing dirt on how the network was run. He also recounts his visit to Red Square with Skid Row, an encounter with the Moscow Hell's Angels, a fight with Richard Marx, and a story about Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon that will make you miss the 80s even more.

Some more show notes:

-- We recorded this week's show earlier than usual, so we didn't have a full list of Name That 80s Tune winners to announce. But come on -- it was TOO easy anyway. Our new batch of prizes should be arriving on my doorstep anytime, so hopefully we can make good for all our listeners.

-- Don't forget to call our toll-free phone number and leave us messages and greetings to use on the show. We do it all for you. The number is 866-371-9605. Anyone who leaves a greeting gets on the show and gets a prize mailed to you.

-- We're trying to line up a few more special guests for interviews in the coming weeks. No hints yet, but we're stalking some recording artists as we speak.

Enjoy the show!

This interview was awesome, guys!

The mistake in the Adam Curry podcast was that he says one of his favorite videos is for Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill, and then proceeds to describe the video for Cloudbusting. Granted, there is a hill in the video, it's all so confusing.

Hearing someone say shit is not a big deal. I don't think it's necessary to clean it up.

[Greg Williams]

I honestly didn't mind them, and it did add some more emotion to what Adam Curry was describing, but after hearing a couple of bleeps before the interview, I thought it was a simple slip. I made the first post while listening to the podcast part of the way (obviously).

[Producer Dave]

Just out of curiousity, do you all think we should clean up those S-bombs or not? Obviously, the F-bombs had to go but I let some of the other stuff fly. Hindsight is great, isn't it?

Good Show!! And The Name That Tune Was A Bit Harder This Week :)

[Greg Williams]

Ignore last comment. Many more S-bombs. No biggie, didnt know what was and was not allowed on podcast. Now I can make a new voicemail greeting for the show...muhahahaha...

[Greg Williams]

BTW: S-bomb at 14:19 by Adam Curry.

I came across a pic of "Adam Curry" when he was 15 working for a radio station called Radio Tulipa.

He's at the bottom of the page, and a calendar in the background shows it to be circa 81.

Interesting find.

Better off dead was a kick ass movie. They need to start making movies like that again!

The name of the "French" character in the movie "Better Off Dead" was "Monique" and she was played by an actress named Diane Franklin.
