80 of the 80s Music Podcast

Eye to eye, we need no words at all… except we're gonna need a lot of words (plus one secret word) for Madonna's greatest '80s tunes and a couple of controversies. Your crazy co-host, Ms. AK-47, is back to recount an unhealthy Breakfast Club obsession and her favorite songs (and least favorite fads) of 2025.

Cruising smoothly before surfacing like a submarine sandwich with tasty layers of Kraftwerk and glockenspiel: Did this song inspire the entire sophisti-pop movement or a just a corny chick flick? Is it about freedom, fantasy, or the afterlife? What's a TVO? Is it different for girls? Can you get what you want if you don't know what you want? Then we chat about the new Beetlejuice movie and a Duran Duran concert.
