100 episodes? Mama no!
Are you ready to relive the history of Stuck in the 80s? All the hits ... the miscues ... the uncontrollable sweating of two pasty, bloated guys with no lives beyond the year 1989?
The 100th episode of our podcast is now online. Click here to download it or click here to subscribe to all our episodes for free on iTunes.
Lest I imply that it was merely Sean Daly and myself that are responsible for all 100 counts of crimes against humanity, let me give much overdue credit to Gina Vivinetto (my first co-host), Cathy Wos (our longtime co-host now living in Seattle), Brendan Watson (our first producer) and Dave Morrison (the maestro and our former producer). Special thanks to our special guests hosts over the last two years, including: Eric Deggans, Chase Squires, Sharon Fink, John Fleming, Steve Persall and Rick Gershman.
What can you expect during show #100? Lots and lots of highlights, including:
- Sean's fight with Huey Lewis.
- My tongue-tied pass at Martha Quinn.
- Our karaoke party with Kenny Loggins.
- And yes, the original "Mama No!" story about topless blondes from Norway.
As always, we appreciate your comments and e-mails. And stay tuned as we continue to find reasons to stay firmly stuck in the 80s.


Relive the music, movies and culture of the greatest decade ever with Times online editor Steve Spears. A teen during the decade, Steve is obsessed with everything from Duran Duran to Journey, John Hughes to John Cusack, and parachute pants to Reaganomics.
E-mail Steve Spears:
THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers rock Tampa Bay. To hear the latest "Stuck in the 80s" episode now, 





And by "we appreciate your comments and e-mails," he means "please, in the name of 8-tracks, leave us alone!"
... Way to go guys, 100 hours of "work time" snatched from Ma Times' greedy fingers :-)

The excitement and anticipation of the 100th episode. When do I listen to it? Now? Or do I want for the right time to savor all it?
Oh, what the heck. . . I'm listening to it now! ! ! !

I just got home from work. I ran to my computer and pulled up iTunes. Right this very second I am listening to you fawning over the great Martha Quinn.
WOO! This is exciting. OK, maybe not exciting, but fun.

Hey! Just finished listening to the 100th episode, and I'm still laughing my @$$ off!
My fave celebrity clips were Brian Johnson ("He talked for 25 minutes!") and Kenny Loggins. Got a little sad when I heard Cathy (puppies!) and Gina (I miss her sharp sense of humor).
Great show!

I still can not figure out the last song in the montage.
It's driving me crazy!
Congrats on the 100th episode!

"The fundamental things apply, As time goes by......" I'm still stuck in the '80's. Congrats guys.
How about a Christopher Cross podcast? Great break-up music.
I know Steve loves "Red Dawn", but did you guys ever do a End of the World podcast?
I nominate "Miracle Mile" starring Anthony Edwards. Enthralling the 2 times I caught it on TV.

I'm so proud of the little "Stuck In The '80s" podcast that could. I could listen to my insult montage over and over. Why don't you guys play that to warm up before each new taping? xoxo, Gina

Put me in the camp that would love to hear the Director's Cut of the Huey Lewis Interview.
Alas, the montage beat me. I could not figure out the last song.

Great podcast, guys and congrats on reaching 100 episodes! One question though: why didn't you call up Cathy?

Congrats on 100 episodes! Where else can I hear about cargo pants filled with rupturing ziplock bags of Vodka! You guys are the funniest!
