Episode 4 of the Dangerous Memory Podcast with Charlie Angus - July 27, 2025

LISTEN here . . .

EXCERPT: "Welcome to Dangerous Memory — the podcast where we reconsider everything we thought we knew about the 1980s.

I’m your host Charlie Angus author of the book Dangerous Memory: Coming of Age in the Decade of Greed, published by the House of Anansi Press and soon on audio books with Tantor Media. Each episode, we’ll crack open a chapter of the 1980s and ask: what really happened and why does it still matter today?

In this next chapter, we trace the evolution of music from the rebellious DIY punk scenes of the early 80s to the stretch limo decadence of the video age and then into something darker: the rise of toxic rage politics on the AM dial. . . . ."
