St Vincent to host rock history podcast
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 7 December 2022
St Vincent is to host a new podcast on the history of rock music. ‘History Listen: Rock’ will be available via Amazon’s Audible platform in January.
“It’s been so fun going back through rock history and revisiting some of my favourite artists and songs, including a bunch that don’t get the recognition they should”, says St Vincent. “When you put it all together, you can see how history repeats and echoes through generations, how music links the past to the present, artist-to-artist. And some of these stories are absolutely wild”.
The series will look at Big Mama Thornton recording the original version of ‘Hound Dog’, the Sex Pistols’ doomed US tour, Bad Brains going to prison, and more.
Co-founder of the production company leading on the project, Brady Sadler from Double Elvis, says: “At Double Elvis, we tell stories about music to entertain and provoke audiences to think differently. ‘History Listen’ will do both of these things by taking listeners on a journey through the historical and cultural progression of music, and we couldn’t be more excited to collaborate with Audible on this groundbreaking series given their history as a true pioneer in spoken-word audio”.
The show will be available on Audible from 12 Jan.
