The Darbus Show Archive

Date: January 29, 2010 (Tonight's theme: High School Reunion, 1985)

Length: 3:59:08

This evening's show was the very first High School Reunion episode. Tonight, I held a reunion for the class of 1985. I played a lot of great music from 1985, 1984, and 1983. I was actually away from the studio for about the first hour of the show, but I left some pre-recorded show for the listeners to hear and enjoy. I also decided to end the show an hour early tonight.
