We had the pleasure of speaking with Steve Spears, founder and host of the Stuck in the ’80s is in its 20th year! To commemorate this milestone Steve has written a book called Stuck in the ’80s: 20 Years of Conversations with Pop Culture Icons Who Defined a Decade. We speak about his book, music, cruises and other topics around what it’s like being Generation X today! (May contain some explicit language.)
