What foods did you live on growing up but can't stomach now? If you could bring back any food or restaurant from your youth, what would it be? Why does Wilford Brimley pronounce it "diabeetus?"

The Missing the Pointe crew take on the task of making a summer playlist ideally suited to those who miss the Pointes from the 70s, 80s, 90s and today!

It's a mixtape with a twist: Jim, Tom and Roger each present the others with a pairing of two songs, and the other two get to fight it out to see which song survives! Three rounds to decide a playlist that could fit onto one two-sided 60-minute Maxell XLII cassette tape to take with you in your Walkman this summer!

Tune in to hear which songs made the cut, then enjoy the playlist all summer long on Spotify: Click here to listen.

Will Curtiss share another one of his radio personalities with the audience? Tune in to find out!
