Ep 22: 70’s AM Radio Gold

On this special holiday episode of CFX (Ok, it just happens to come out on Xmas Day…) we take on ‘70s AM hit radio, also known as ‘70s AM Gold. Like we did on our Game Show episode (Episode 18: https://apple.co/3WebSzL), we explore the hits and misses, the long and short of this classic era. We celebrate the one-hit wonders that have stood the test of time and bemoan the songs we hated (and still hate) that we can’t get out of our heads. In doing so, we also learn…

• How a street gang attack helped to create the happiest song ever written
• Which “disco action” star was the victim of identity theft
• What England Dan is actually singing in that song (you know the one) and why we wish John Ford Coley would retire already
• Why the Slip-child liked his 70’s songs as filthy and gross as possible
• What awful song from the ‘70s spawned a million YouTube parodies during the lockdown
• Why you can’t stop staring into Darryl Dragon’s eyes
• Why Jeff owes the Glen Campbell estate a huge apology (but will never deliver it)
