Episode 30: Welcome to the Boomtown Episode 30 (Science & Technology)
Manage episode 432827163 series 2877768
Welcome back to the 80s! What was your favorite technology of the 80s? Did you play videogames on an Atari, Sega or Nintendo system? Did you watch movies on a VHS or Betamax? Were you making calls on a Motorola brick phone? Or, did you “Clap on, Clap off” with everyone’s favorite hand-free controller, The Clapper? Episode 30 features songs about the science and technology of the 80s, with everything from calculators and computers, to rockets and robots.
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.
