Beyond Radio is the place where music discovery and music nostalgia collide. It is your one-stop source for playlists, music charts, remembrances and recommendations. Our Podcast and music therapy playlists combine elements of nostalgia and discovery, while my blog entries reflect on our musical past through the lens of my personal charts from decades past. I weave a story that includes the connection between artists, chart facts and personal anecdotes that hopefully conjure a connection to the soundtrack of your own life. The current charts and playlists are updated monthly or bi-monthly (bi-weekly for the BR250) and are curated based on a passionate audience that produce their own personal charts weekly.
Beyond Radio Presents -Castlist 008 – Ep 5 – The Boys of the ’80s and ’90s
In this episode, we explore 2 bands of the second British Invasion, Duran Duran and Wham which leads into a great story about “I’m Too Sexy”.
I torture Jeff with a Pop-Gospel-ish song that segues into a discussion about svengali boy band producers (well at least one of them was) and the R&B style of the late ’80s and early ’90s, New Jack Swing.
The episode ends with a call and an unlikely source of music inspiration.
