Pop Vultures Sample Episodes

 

Pop Vultures Episode #1:
What Is a Breakbeat? / How Much Do I Love the White Stripes?

This episode was our very first, and is still one of my favorites. It features first-person memories of the birth of rap music in the Bronx.


Pop Vultures Episode Excerpt:
Breakup Songs

A highly personal appreciation of songs about life after love—from the shmoopy-poo to the triumphant.

 

Pop Vultures Episode #14:
A Salute to Glam Rock

We spend a whole episode celebrating the rock subgenre that, more  than any other, crystallizes the essence of pop rock. Extra love to Marc Bolan and T. Rex.

 

Pop Vultures Episode #9:
The Neptunes & the Songs That Changed (Or Saved) Our Lives

An early appreciation of the producing wizard Pharrell, and a look at musical moments that changed us, or saved us.
