80s Music Exposed! - 80s Albums Reviewed

Chris and Henry are on an continuing journey to visit the past, wrestle it into the unexpurgated present, … and perhaps give it the context it deserves. Joined by their social media director Megan, they review 5 albums for each month of the 80s and nail down whether or not you should dig these out AGAIN!
