Episode 12: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 12 (From the Request Line)

Welcome to the Boomtown

Welcome back to the 80s. We love our listeners! When we started this podcast two years ago, we didn’t know what to expect. We were just hoping there were at least a few 80s music fans who would find our page and give us a chance. Since then we’ve discovered there are Welcome to the Boomtown fans in all 50 states (and Washington DC) and at least 52 countries. So, in appreciation of our listeners around the world we’ve turned this episode over to you. Thanks to everyone who sent us a request. We couldn’t include them all in this episode, so look for Part II in the future.
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 Team Boomtown: Alan (artwork), DJ Phil B (technical advice) and David Baerwald and David Ricketts, also known as David + David, for their amazing album which inspired the title of our podcast.
