Matt and Jayce are two ex-college radio guys who became ex-professional radio guys who are now professionally guys in other professions. Their love of music and the ‘Big Idea’ of how to get radio RIGHT fuels this podcast. They dive deep into song lyrics, genres, different radio formats, and climb all over the minutiae of music! They even googled ‘minutiae’ to make sure they used it correctly.

Tune in to hear rants about the music/radio industry, be a fly on the wall for interviews with special guests to discuss college radio and the music that inspired them, laugh along with some ridiculous music games and debates, and just have a lot of long-form fun, because there is NO Program Director to tell them they are doing it wrong!

If you are a FAN of music, you will find yourself laughing along, shouting at the speakers, and having a good time!

A podcast delving into 101 amazing songs from the 1980s that dealt with the threats posed by nuclear war.


You'll hear us discuss the biggest hits of the decade (did you even know they were about nuclear war?), songs that you might have forgotten and that need to be heard again, and songs that you may never heard.


Every fortnight, Dave and Pank will be exploring some of the best known hits from around the world, to lesser-known deeper cuts. Every genre of 80s music gets a look-in: punk, new wave, funk, soul, rock, heavy rock, indie, reggae, disco.


We will be discussing the songs from a musical and cultural perspective. What else was happening in the world of television and literature to help paint this nuclear landscape?


With every podcast, we will update our Spotify playlist with the songs we are going to discuss. Have a listen to the tunes, and then the chat, or the chat.
