About this episode
Nick and guest Jon Lamoreaux (The Hustle Podcast) dissect the musical legacy of new wave icons Duran Duran. Taking full advantage of the music video medium in the early 1980s, Duran Duran quickly became global superstars only a few years after their formation. Beyond their photogenic good looks and trendy outfits, they wrote and performed universal anthems that transcended generations. They experienced several ups and downs throughout their career, but they never gave up and continue to make new music. They are pop music survivors in every sense of the word. If there is something you should know, it’s that Duran Duran is one of the most popular and innovative bands of the last four decades.
