Episode 41: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 41 (Ladies of the 80s Volume 2)

Welcome back to the 80s! A little over 5 years ago, our Ladies of the 80s episode dropped, and the response was incredibly positive. In fact, one of our listeners posted in the comments section in Podomatic, “Thanks for spotlighting the ladies!” So, we decided to do a Volume II featuring Belinda, Janet, Reba, Tina, Joan, and many more.A shout out to those of you who have been with us since the beginning and welcome to our new listeners. As always, thanks to the people who helped us put this together: Alan (for all our artwork), DJ Phil B (for the technical stuff) and David Baerwald and David Ricketts, also known as David + David, for their amazing album which inspired the title of our podcast.Please tell all your friends about us and follow this page so you know when new podcasts are available.
