That 80s Show SA

Hold tight because the show starts with That 80s Show talking about That 80s Show on That 80s Show!

We then get into two very different movie recommendations before hearing from éVoid, a conference for our friends and confidants and declare that we are ready to fight if they touch The Princess Bride.

Part 1: That 80s Show (the mediocre TV show, not the world class internet radio show/podcast hybrid).

Part 2: Movie Recommendations.

Part 3: Lucien Windrich from éVoid.

Part 4: Golden Con.

Part 5: Hands off The Princess Bride.

Part 6: The best Robert Palmer pun ever.

This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music - here are the songs we spoke about and played:

Expose - what you don’t know.

éVoid - Taxi Man.

Wham! - Last Christmas

A podcast from the shadows!!

We've always held on to éVoid as our 80s hipster secret. A local band that was as good as anything coming out of anywhere in the 80s.

In this episode we spent time with founding member Lucien Windrich.

He tells us about the bands origins, their most famous songs, Concert in the Park, being called a canary and what you'll find when you look up the term evoid on Urban Dictionary.

Resisting the chance to talk about the wet, wet, wet weather in Joburg (I'm sure they'd heard that a million times), Barret gets into the podcast time machine to go back to the 80s with Graeme Clark, founding member of Wet Wet Wet.

Having sold in excess of 15 million singles and albums to date, Wet Wet Wet have featured in the official UK charts for over 500 weeks and their albums have been certified 20 x platinum in the UK alone. The band appeared on the BBC TV show Top Of The Pops an amazing 56 times, a record for a Scottish artist.

Barret and Graeme talk about the bands roots, new front man Kevin Simm, the new album, "Journey'' and so much more.

It feels like Paulo and Dori haven't done a show together since the 80s. George and Andrew - actually more like Mel and Kim - are back in attack for this week's edition of That 80s Show.

This week we left the interview china in the hands of The Chart Savant!!!

Barret sat down with Carol Decker from T'Pau, the hypnotic voice behind 80s hits like, ''China in your hands'' and ''Heart and Soul''.

We discover the groups origins, Carol's musical inspirations, how the band got their outrageous name (hint: live long and prosper), and find out what Carol calls her injured foot. 

These are the revelations only The Chart Savant can secure.
