We'll also be highlighting some Canadian bands within the genre and play some songs that were released by cast members!

i remember watching the very first episode of Stranger Things and the moment that theme music kicked in.....I was hooked. That music became an endless ear worm for me; haunting but irresistable ! Great show tribute, Audrey

Hahaha...you crack me up when you are being self deprecating about your "when I was young" stories. You are just so genuine !!

haha, I can't help but cringe when talking about some of my "when I was young" stories so that's why I may sound like that sometimes XD

Billy Idol's best song and it still gives me shivers with every listen. The love of my life was still in my life when this came out.

Oh, and I saw Billy Idol, and Strange Advance. And Spoons. Ask me about my Spoons story. They were in Porter Hall.

Tic, where have you been!? you have 3 days before season 5!! I think you'd love it if you don't mind some odd monster/alternate dimension lore

btw speaking of porter hall, check out the newest Charlatan Live podcast episode. Yanjano hosts it and they talk all about the cool artsits who came to perform at Carleton years ago!

Another great show Audrey. I love 80s music and also can't wait for Stranger Things 5! Will you go see it in the theatre too?

Hey, great show Audrey! I really need to finish watching the seasons so far! I think its so cool the show introduced so many younger people to Kate Bush's music. I love dark 80s music. I have a cool cover of the stranger things theme song I wanted to share - https://bacaorhythmandsteelband.bandcamp.com/album/stranger-things-theme-b-w-halloween-theme

We are going to trade "war stories" one of these days tic

Audrey Pridham (host)
@Adriana: maybe, just for the experience to see it with everyone. but at the same time I might bawl my eyes out and nobody needs to see me do that in public lol

I was on the podcast about Porter Hall. I have not heard it yet, but it might include the story about The Spoons

2:45 PM, November 24th, 2025
Audrey Pridham (host)
Thanks Jas, I'll give that a listen! And I agree with you, a few of her other songs like "Babooshka" and "Army Dreamers" have become popular recently as well on social media

THANK YOU Jas for sharing that infectious earwig cover for after Audrey's magnificent show today. Thx for all these great memories Audrey

@tic: oh that's cool, I didn't know that! I have to give it a full listen too and then I'll hear about the story. Yanjano and Justin have done a good job so far :)

You probably won't be alone in shedding a few tears! It's hard to believe it's the last season.

I think this is a sign for me to do more shows that follow a tv show/movie theme. I'm thinking a "Twin Peaks" show around Feb. 24. Just started watching that too and I'll be all caught up by then
