“Love this podcast! Some new stories you haven’t heard about MTV. As a 10 year old in northern NJ when MTV launched. I remember the first video I saw at a friend’s house Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band. I was 12 when we got MTV. I totally agree with the fact that MTV was something teens could connect with from the very beginning. It was exciting and face paced, never boring. My 14th birthday I had a large boy/girl party and my parents rented the making of Thriller (back then videos like this required a security deposit of a few hundred dollars). All the kids at my party (myself included) were entranced by the making of Thriller! It was 1984 and we just couldn’t get enough MTV. It was always on at everyone’s house. It defined Generation X. I can’t wait to hear episode 3 of this podcast!! It’s fantastically awesome!!!

“This is a compelling history of youth culture via the history of MTV. It explains how the pressures of business shaped the format of the TV network that shaped GenX and Millennial sensibilities. Yet this podcast does not shy away from the racism and sexism baked into MTV,s early days.”
