Ironically I missed a lot of #forgotten80s in the autumn when I was watching the NFL! I'm going to watch an old episode of Blakes 7.

For those asking, here's a list of alternative radio shows that are popular amongst former #forgotten80s listeners, although some do cover other decades and specific genres. Feel free to copy or share. If there are any errors or omissions, please let me know in the comments.
