Absolute 80s is the UK's biggest commercial digital radio station. You guessed it, we only play 80s music, but we understand all of this modern new fangled podcasty stuff foo. So, when we get big guests into our studios to host shows or just for a cuppa, we make a podcast. It's usually the full interview including loads of stuff you don't hear on the radio. If you want to listen to Absolute 80s you can via DAB radio, the Absolute Radio app, Freeview, Sky or online at absoluteradio.co.uk. We especially like online listeners who have a ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64.
