    In 20 years of Stuck in the '80s, we've yet to hear from any of Steve's friends from the actual 1980s. That ends with this week's episode: a conversation with former University of Florida student newspaper editor and now author Derek Catron. Derek talks about his new book "Final Deadline" and relives stories from their days in college.
