Episode Description

For our Season Two opener, we called in a Ringer! Writer, author, and podcaster Rob Harvilla (“60 Songs that Explain the ‘90s”) joins the show to discuss MTV Unplugged’s massive, multi-layered impact throughout the 1990s via six exemplary performances. I picked six songs as well, so you’re really getting a dozen different Unplugged gems that both highlight the show’s unique sonic alchemy and also broaden the lens beyond its often myopically misremembered legacy. Consider it a lovingly hand-crafted, 12-track Unplugged mixtape from us to you!
