    "Storytelling and 80s Nostalgia with Author, Eric Shoars!"
    Sep 9 2024
    On today's 'Back to the 80s Radio Show,' we’re excited to welcome a special guest, Eric Shoars! A serial storyteller who treats the English language like his personal playground, Eric never met a pun he didn’t like. Often described as a modern-day Walter Mitty with a serious twist, his writing places readers directly in the shoes of his characters, experiencing life as they do.

    Eric’s first fiction work, No Way Back Today, took us on an unforgettable ride, and now his latest project, Whatever Happened to Jack and Diane?, promises to transport us back to the heart of the 80s.

    Though Chang isn’t joining us today (he’s currently in London snagging an autographed pair of underwear from The Cure and Duran Duran!), we’re sure you’ll love this journey with Eric Shoars as we dive deep into his world of storytelling and 80s nostalgia.
