In today's episode we travel back to the glorious 1980s to re-discover (or maybe discover for the first time) a group of authors that you really should be reading. And as you you'll learn in the episode, I hate the term Literary Brat Pack, but unfortunately it's what they were called.

In today's episode we look at the myth that has grown up around one of the towering figures of the 1980s: the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan.

Welcome back to That 80s Podcast after a long hiatus. Our return episode explores some of the causes of the fall of communism in the 1980s and especially the role of Pope John Paul II, the Polish priest who became a saint.

Welcome to the first episode of That 80s Podcast, where we look back at the good (the music, clearly), the bad (nuclear war), and the ugly (the big hair...definitely the big hair) of the greatest decade ever.
