Wboi Presents

On this episode of WBOI Presents: In Session, we are joined by Barton Price, Lecturer in the School of Music at Purdue University Fort Wayne. Our conversation focused on the impact of radio on the earliest days of rock & roll, as well as its specific impact on some genres and bands. How did radio influence early artists like Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan? What scandals nearly derailed rock & roll programming? How was Queen’s cultural resonance even louder thanks to radio and other mediums? We’ll answer those questions and more on this episode of WBOI Presents: In Session. Our theme music is by Noah Campodonico. Our web producer is Loyal Vandenburg. Our production assistants are Monica Blankenship, Steve Mullaney, and Sydney Wagner.
