One of the most requested episodes in Takin’ A Walk history is back. Buzz Knight’s conversation with Tears for Fears -Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith — the British duo behind some of the most emotionally charged music of the past forty years — resonated with listeners in a way that demanded a second listen.

They also reflect on four decades of influence — on new wave, synth-pop, alternative rock, and generations of artists who grew up with these songs.
