About This Podcast

This week on Back to the 80s Radio, we’re turning up the volume on ’80s bands covering other artists’ songs—iconic tracks, forgotten gems, and surprising twists that the 80s made their own.

Toscano and Chang are both in the studio, bringing the laughs, ridiculous banter, and over–the–top comedy skits you’ve come to expect. It’s cover songs, 80s style—bigger, louder, and way more fun.
