We're Ruthie and Lori—two Gen X besties serving up your favorite 80s tunes with a side of sarcasm and a splash of Aqua Net. Each week, we rewind to the greatest (and sometimes weirdest) decade in music, talking pop, rock, one-hit wonders, and everything in between.

Whether you slow danced to "Careless Whisper" or just miss your Walkman, this podcast is your backstage pass to the songs that shaped our mixtapes—and our lives.

So grab your Tab, pop in a cassette, and let’s relive the 80s… again.

    Can you believe it’s been 40 years? In this episode of 80’s Music Rewind, we’re stepping into the time machine to revisit the year 1986. From the stadium-shaking rock of Bon Jovi to the groundbreaking pop of Janet Jackson, 1986 was a year where the charts were as colorful as the fashion.

    We’re sharing stories from our recent outings and ticket purchases, including the tickets we purchased John Fogerty and Steve Winwood live! We also recount our meeting with the wonderful Valerie Bertinelli during her recent author visit!

    Whether you were wearing neon in '86 or just wish you were, join us as we celebrate four decades of these timeless hits.

    In this special throwback episode, we revisit one of our earliest recordings from 2021 — where we discussed a published list of 80s love songs and debated one big question: Are they actually love songs?

    But fair warning… the microphones were rough. The audio? Let’s just say we’ve come a long way.

    In this episode, we replay parts of that original 1980s love songs discussion and reflect on how much our sound quality, production, and overall podcasting game have improved since we first hit record.

    It’s part music debate, part behind-the-scenes look at podcast growth, and part 80s nostalgia. If you love 80s music, classic love songs, and hearing how podcasts evolve over time, this one’s for you.

    From questionable audio to crystal-clear sound — this is our 2021 glow-up story.
