Duran Duran's release of Rio in May of 1982 led to a teenage frenzy all around the globe and In this episode Marc and Kristina celebrate Rio's 40th birthday with a fun-filled episode dripping in parasocial feelings and tidbits (some old some hopefully new) about one of their favorite bands from the 80s. Come on in to learn about Duran's early influences, what they think about their work on Rio and all the details about that time that Kristina called Simon's mom on the phone.
