Broken Record

Broken Record

In decades gone past, music used to be about much more than quickly generating one generic track after another. When artists produced a new album, they would arrange interviews and press conferences to discuss what the album meant to them and what could be expected. Fans would go wild for a chance to listen to great music and have a conversation with a musician about their craft. Fortunately, this tradition was revived before it completely died out by a group of four people who started a podcast that restarts musical conversations. The Broken Record podcast is hosted by Justin Richmond, while interviews are conducted by producer Rick Rubin and writers Bruce Headlam and Malcolm Gladwell.

During each episode, a talented musician is interviewed on various topics, from mental health issues to writer’s block. The Broken Record podcast discusses the ups and downs surrounding the career and life of different musical icons. This gives listeners a better idea of who their favorite musicians are behind their music. Some of the talent featured on the show in the past include Brittany Howard and Andre 3000.
