Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 6 (A Very 80s Christmas)

Welcome back to the 80s! We close 2020, and celebrate our first year of podcasts, with a Christmas-ish episode. We’ll play your favorite 80s music, but sprinkle in a few Christmas songs to help get you in the mood for the holiday season. 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 to 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.
