There’s nostalgia and memories of prom to be channeled for anyone of a certain age, of course. But this lead ep of This is Pop and what’s to follow are also offering fresh takes on a pretty wide subject.

There’s a careful balance that keeps the show from veering too far into closed-off academic treatises or uncritical hagiographic superfandom.

Eight very distinct stories on the history of music and it’s impact on the world. Very well done with excellent first-hand interviews.
