Nick D – Jim Ryan, Music Talk and Couchella

Nick welcomes music journalist Jim Ryan from Forbes.com back to the podcast to talk about some of the concerts he’s been to and the artists he’s interviewed. They get into shows from Brigitte Calls Me Baby at Thalia Hall, Throwing Muses at SPACE in Evanston, Billy Ocean at Rivers Casino, and Rick Springfield at the Genesee Theatre. They also share their thoughts on the latest Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and they definitely have opinions.

Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to catch up before delivering her full report on Coachella, which she experienced from her couch, also known as Couchella. She shares her thoughts on performances from Sabrina Carpenter, who brought out some unexpected guests, Fatboy Slim, and more. [Ep 448]
