About this listen

Relive the 1980s in this rip-roaring time travel adventure from bestselling author, Jason Ayres.

As the 2020s dawn, Keith Diamond, the self-styled ‘Diamond Geezer’, works as a shock jock presenter at controversial radio station, ChatFM. When the station comes under new management, Keith finds himself surplus to requirements. His employment prospects look bleak until a stranger gives him a bracelet that catapults him forty years back in time to when he was a young journalist. Soaking up the culture, Keith immerses himself in the music scene, going to see legendary bands like The Clash, Blondie, and The Specials, but soon there are more important tasks at hand.

Working in Fleet Street, Keith finds himself thrust into the news stories of the day. These range from the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper to the death of John Lennon, plus the world’s obsession with “Who Shot JR?” From a personal perspective, 1980 is a pivotal year on which both his and many of his friends’ destinies depend. Can he rectify past mistakes, avert disasters, and reshape both his future and that of others?

Join Keith, as he revisits the culture and events of 1980, in this humorous and thought-provoking time travel story.

A great story on so many levels. The concept of time travel used to illustrate how an individual can make small changes to his life and end up much happier or better off.

It started of with little sympathy for the populist brash main character but his travel into the past showed that deep down he was a decent bloke and it was the time and surroundings that made him what he was in his ‘first’ life. With the hindsight he gained he was able to tweak who he was and in the end well….. I won’t spoil it

A very nice performance as well and looking forward to 1981
