#288 - The List, In Memory Of My Sister

Alternative 80s ·

2025/02/06

A few weeks ago I asked one of my sisters to give me a list of some of her favorite songs from the 80s - she'd been battling cancer and I wanted to do a podcast for her to uplift her spirits. Sadly she passed away yesterday before completing her list. This podcast is dedicated to her memory using music she picked out. Its not just Alt80s - but it's from my heart in her memory. Its eclectic, but I hope it's enjoyed by others as much as I think she would have enjoyed it.
