Episode 24: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 24 (Driving at Night)

Welcome to the Boomtown

Welcome back to the 80s! Do you remember riding around with friends at night or driving down a deserted highway or back road with the windows down, listening to your favorite music? So do we. Episode 24 features some of our go to songs for driving at night. Hopefully, this brings back some memories and you'll be inspired to go for a drive later, listening to this episode.
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.
