32 episodes

We're taking a year-by-year journey through the last 100 years of popular music, starting in the jazz age and making our way to the modern era. Listen to - and discuss - music that you've never heard of as we move through the years to see who did what first and when. Cunningham's Law states that "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

In our upcoming episodes we'll be making our way through the acoustic era, before the electric microphone was popular, and you just shouted real loud at the studio.
