Welcome back to the 80s! A little over 5 years ago, our Ladies of the 80s episode dropped, and the response was incredibly positive. In fact, one of our listeners posted in the comments section in Podomatic, “Thanks for spotlighting the ladies!” So, we decided to do a Volume II featuring Belinda, Janet, Reba, Tina, Joan, and many more.

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.

Please tell all your friends about us and follow this page so you know when new podcasts are available. You can also follow us on Facebook, Bluesky, Instagram, YouTube, Mastodon, Threads, and X.

Songs chosen by both of us. Track list coming soon.

Listen, enjoy, share, follow, and thanks for keeping 80s music alive!

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.
