The Aftermath: Did Video Kill the Radio Star???

New Guest Expert! On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with Kevin Mattson about the rise of MTV and the corporatization of the music industry in 1980’s America. A Professor of History at Ohio University, Kevin reminds us of the underground production and distribution of music at the time and what was lost between the artist and listener relationship with the introduction of MTV. Afterward, Patreon subscribers can join Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early as they revisit the board. Not on Patreon?! Click below and join us!
