The Story Behind: Little Richard - Here's Little Richard, Ep 193
Explicit content warning
01/27/25 • 124 min
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Little Richard was a born performer from a young age, and by leaning into a larger than life persona ended up inventing rock and roll (and possibly all other modern musical genres). The team get together to discuss mic clipping, rhyming dictionaries, and the importance of self-promotion.
