Does anyone read magazines anymore? Magazines used to be a pretty big deal, and even though print is nearly dead in this digital world, TIME magazine continues to survive. Most notably it's annual "Person of the Year" issue.
This week we take a look at the "Person" - sometimes multiple people, sometimes "things" - of each year of the 80's. From Ronald Reagan to Mikhail Gorbachev, the Cold War was a major factor in determining the winners of each year.
Technology, climate change, Nobel Peace prize winners are all represented, but the leaders of the US & USSR dominated the decade. And do you remember the "syringe tide"?!
Also, sorry in advance - my stupid cough is back - and I also share the sad tale of my depressed dog, and the potential demise of a woman named Linda (you'll have to hear the story for yourself).
