The Awesome 80s Podcast
Greetings Time Travelers! If you’re here you probably remember the 80’s and remember them well. We are Bobby Catalano and Jason Pascoe and once upon a time we were on a super popular 80’s dance show on the USA Network. Over the years we’ve been asked tons of times about all kinds of stuff and we’re here to give answers. Not only that, living in Las Vegas brings a whole slew of cool topics, places and trends to kick around. IT’S THE 80’S AND BEYOND! Keepin’ it fun, fresh and interesting is what we have on the plate. From movies, tv, music and pop culture that you thought would always last (parachute pants anybody?). If it happened in the 1980’s we’re sure to have some interesting conversation on it. Join us as we cruise and go back in time through the “Greatest Decade Ever” and right on to today with Bobby and Jason’s Awesome 80’s Podcast!

Episode 2 of Season 2, released March 8, 2022, is built around a moment that clearly lit these guys up: the New Kids on the Block’s Bring Back the Time video, a full-on 80s and 90s love letter that the guys loved so much they borrowed its title for this episode. It kicks off a […]

After a five-year break, the show is back. This is the Season 2 premiere, released February 7, 2022, and Bobby and Jason waste no time getting back into the groove, starting with the running gag of who has to push the record button. The big difference this time: they can finally use footage from the […]

Episode 19, released November 18, 2016, is built around a brand-new segment that instantly became a fan favorite: the 80s Music Jukebox.

Episode 18, released November 11, 2016, has a great gimmick: the podcast has reached episode 18, so it is officially legal to drink. Bobby and Jason pour a little Jack Daniels, get pleasantly loose, and deliver one of the most freewheeling hangs of the season. Recorded on election night 2016 with the results still unknown, […]

Episode 17, released October 27, 2016, is the Halloween special, and it opens with a bang: Bobby delivering the Thriller rap in full Vincent Price mode, spooky enough to send Harley the Frenchie out of the room.

Believe it or not, we got him. Episode 16 is our conversation with William Katt, the star of The Greatest American Hero, the reluctant, manual-losing superhero every kid our age wanted to be.

If you have ever taken a triple-dog-dare, you have Scott Schwartz to thank. Episode 15 is a long, generous phone call with the actor who played Flick, the kid whose tongue gets stuck to the frozen flagpole in A Christmas Story.

Episode 14, released October 6, 2016, is a movie-and-music lover’s hangout with a self-deprecating title and a lot of heart.

Number 13 was the one we could not stop talking about beforehand, and you can hear it the second we get her on the line. This is the episode where we welcomed our very first celebrity guest, 80s movie icon Diane Franklin, and spent the better part of an hour talking movies, memories, and what […]

Episode 10, released September 1, 2016, hits double digits with the sweetest theme yet: the 80s ice cream truck.

Before the sugar rush, […]

Episode 9, released August 25, 2016, is a villain lover’s dream. Marlon Dow is back, and this time the whole crew leans into the best part of any 80s movie: the bad guys.

Episode 8, released August 18, 2016, brings Marlon Dow back for his second appearance, and the man comes prepared.

Episode 7, released August 11, 2016, is a milestone: this is where Marlon Dow, the guys’ lifelong friend and fellow show alum, joins the podcast as its third voice.

Episode 6, released August 4, 2016, is a love letter to a way of watching things that was already disappearing. Bobby and Jason mourn the VCR, pour one out for Blockbuster, and then celebrate the 35th birthday of the network that raised them: MTV, back when it actually played music videos. It is a nostalgic, […]

Episode 5, released July 28, 2016, is the one where Bobby and Jason really let you into their present-day lives in Las Vegas before circling back to what they each did after the show. It is loose, funny, and it ends with one of the great Jason rants of the whole series. Along the way […]

Episode 3, released July 14, 2016, is the summer one, and it is pure Jersey Shore nostalgia.
