We're trying something new!
First of all you might have heard on the most recent episode that we're doing a question of the week to generate a bit more feedback and to embrace the knowledge of our listeners, but that's not all... In an attempt to get you, the 80's nation, involved we'll be posting the topic of episodes question here on the news page. Now a few things you should know.
1. We record on Fridays, so if you want something on the show you need to have it to us by noon on Fridays otherwise it'll be on the following show.
 2. We try and stick to the topic we decide on in advance, but from time to time we've had to change things up at the last minute.
