Episode 1: The Precursors: Welcome to Rock N Roll Archaeology! This is a reboot of Episode One: The Precursors, originally released October 15, 2015. We updated and improved it some, and re-released it on November 4, 2020.  We begin in Times Square, late summer of 1945. The war is over.  First up, the Baby Boom and a newly-discovered demographic, the white American teenager.  This new cohort is huge, with unprecedented economic clout. Young, restless and affluent, and they want to get beyond the timid, conformist popular culture of 1950s America.  “Race Records” (an outdated term for rhythm and blues records by African American musicians) become hugely popular with white teenagers. Drawn from the well of sorrow that is the Black American experience, this music has the edge and urgency--the authenticity--these kids are seeking.  We meet our first hero - the musical genius Ray Charles - and our first anti-hero, the frenetic, fatally flawed DJ Alan Freed.  We shine a light on two grassroo

Best of - Wayne Shorter and Esperanza Spalding: Jazz Invention: Wayne Shorter was a legendary saxophonist and composer whose career began in the 1950's and spanned the development of modern jazz. Mr. Shorter died this week, at the age of 89. To honor his life and music, we are bringing back this episode, which originally aired in 2017. It features Wayne Shorter and a jazz artist 50 years his junior: Esperanza Spalding. Ms. Spalding is a bass player, composer, lyricist and singer - and one of the most exciting artists in contemporary jazz. Wayne Shorter and Esperanza Spalding may have come of age during different jazz eras and in different parts of the country, but they became friends and artistic soulmates, who shared many of the same views about making music and the creative process.

Lady Makers On The Fly -- Inspired By The Outdoors, Enjoy Swinging Flies & Craft Something Beautiful: Makers of the USA is proud to present a very special series that is a little outside the box than previous episodes that have been on the podcast. Kristan pulled together an amazing group of female makers and fly-fishing anglers to head up to Red River Camps in the northern Maine woods. These ladies have their hands in many types of craft from building fly rods to candles and CBD oil making to woodworking and graphic design to experiences and photography and videography. Some of these ladies are brand new to fly fishing such as myself. Some are quite the anglers and are certainly mentors of mine being a newbie in the fly fishing sport. What I find important to storytelling now having this podcast for over three years is impactful conversations and having these conversations among a group of makers is mind-blowing to me. There is so much raw material that comes from these that I thoroug
