概要

Benny Banzai and Dr. Dave bring you the best from the greatest decade ever for music. From A Flock of Seagulls to ZZ Top, we'll feature our favorite tracks, the Top 40 hits, and the deep cuts. Take a trip back to a time when skinny ties and leg warmers were the height of fashion, when MTV still played videos, and music meant something. It's all about the music.

    Episode 39: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 39 (Dr. Dave's Paper Route)
    2026/03/02

    Welcome back to the 80s! From 1981-1985 Dr. Dave delivered newspapers for The Mining Journal, the primary newspaper of Marquette, Michigan and the state’s Upper Peninsula. Monday through Saturday he braved the elements, especially the famous snow of the U.P., to deliver papers around his neighborhood. Earning about $10 a week (about $32 in 2026 adjusted for inflation), he eventually saved enough to purchase a portable cassette player. Episode 39 features many of the 80s artists who kept Dr. Dave company along his paper route.

    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.

    Episode 38: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 38 (From the Request Line 2)
    2025/12/18

    Welcome back to the 80s. We love our listeners! When we started this podcast six 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 134 countries. So, in appreciation of our listeners around the world we’ve once again, 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 III in the future.
