Episode 13: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 13 (I Come From a Land Down Under)

Welcome to the Boomtown

G'Day and welcome back to the 80s! This special Boomtown episode celebrates our listeners in Australia who have been with us from the very beginning. You've heard of Aussie artists like AC/DC, INXS, and Rick Springfield, but there are many other musicians Down Under you may not be familiar with who made some fantastic 80s music.
A shout out to all our listeners, both old and new. 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.
