About This Podcast

A show where two friends review a randomly chosen episode of American Top 40 from the 1970s, the most interesting decade in pop music. In each episode we will rate, provide critical analysis, and provide educational facts on the background of each song in the chosen week's countdown. We will also discuss the prominent news and pop culture events at the time of the countdown along with some insight into what was going on in our lives at the time as kids growing up in the '70s.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
