In this special edition of Back to the 80s Radio, host Toscano steps out from behind the console and takes you on a deeply personal journey through the decade that defined him.

It’s the story of growing up in Southern California in the 1980s—the sounds, the streets, and the song that changed everything: U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name.” More than a memory, it’s a look back at how music can shape a life, heal a heart, and ignite a purpose.

This is one man’s story of faith, family, and the soundtrack that made it all possible.

Back to the 80s Radio is back with a powerful comeback episode that’s more than nostalgia — it’s the closest thing we have to a real time machine. For 30 minutes, step inside the sound of Los Angeles radio in the 1980s. Hear authentic broadcasts from Power 106 in 1987 and KIIS FM in 1989, complete with legendary personalities, commercials, traffic, and sports — exactly as they went out over the air.

This special tribute is dedicated to the jocks who shaped the magic of 80s radio, the very voices that inspired Toscano and Chang to step behind the mic. And the biggest news? Back to the 80s Radio officially launches a brand-new 24/7 station this Halloween, featuring over 10,000 songs in rotation. The 80s are back — and so are we.
