Testing, Testing... 1, 2, 3... Is This Thing On?

The corporate sponsors at Red Barn restaurants called us up recently.

"We want you guys back. Fans have been clamoring to re-live the 70s and 80s again and you two are the ones that they want to do it with" was more or less how the call began.

Knowing that "the fans" equated to a handful of people, we were a bit skeptical but decided to entertain the thought of returning to a bi-weekly, or possibly just a monthly podcast. 

"I kind of miss it," said Mike.

"Yeah, I could go for some more trips down nostalgia lane," replied Joseph.

A call was put out to locate our old pal Bingo who was equally as intrigued at the idea.  Being a helper monkey (a chimp, to be exact, but he prefers the title 'Helper Monkey'), is in his blood so it didn't take much to lure him back.

There's plenty to talk about that we either never covered or only briefly touched on, so material wasn't going to be a problem.  That left just one piece of the puzzle; where to host at. I think the answer to that would be obvious.  When It Was Cool dot Com.  The site that originally hosted us.  Would they be willing to bring us back? Was there enough demand (despite what corporate said) for two old men pining wistfully for the "old days"?

I guess you'll just have to stay tuned and keep an eye on things here to see.

Next Thursday, May 19th...

Mark your calendars! Joseph, Mike, and their new sidekick, RetroBot2XL, are back and ready for your listening pleasure on May 19th with episode #121!!

It's been almost a third of a year since your favorite retro pop-culture archeologists got together and talked about stuff from the greatest decades ever - the 70s and 80s!

In the meantime, head on over to our favorite sponsor's local establishment and tell 'em Mike and Joe sent you!

Here's Some News About the Site!

Joseph, Mike, and Bingo the Helper Monkey hope that everyone (who celebrates it), had a great Thanksgiving and (for some), long weekend.  The time for rest is over, however, and we're prepping to debut a couple of new, semi-regular features!

First is Joseph's "7 From the 70s" where he'll muse about seven things from the 70s, all within a certain topic.  For example, his first outing (which we'll be posting soon), will be about Gold Key Comics; specifically, seven different Gold Key comics that he remembers having an impact on him.

Next up is Mike's "8 From the 80s" which is pretty much exactly the same thing, only covering the decade of decadence. Plus, it will have one more entry, but that was obvious given the title, yeah?

There's other ideas floating around that the guys are trying to work out like retro reviews of movies, music, TV shows, video games, and wrestling. So keep checking back to see what we've managed to scrape together - and of course pop by every other Friday when we post the newest episode of the Uphill Both Ways podcast.
