  • Ep. 9: Music Journalism Isn't Dead, It's Podcasting with Rolling Stone Legend Ben Fong-Torres

    Ep. 9: Music Journalism Isn't Dead, It's Podcasting with Rolling Stone Legend Ben Fong-Torres
    Apr 25 2025
    The theme for this week's episode is all about music journalism, or more specifically, music discovery. How are your favorite songs discovered? From the radio programming of the dust-bowl era, to the disc jockey decades of the payola scandal, the 20th century had an impressive variety when it came to music discovery. From Dick Clark and "American Bandstand", to Don Cornelius and the debut of "Soul Train", to the emergence of "Mtv: Music Television" and of course who can forget, "Napster"? Music discovery has taken on many different forms throughout the history of the industry and beyond. For almost six decades, Ben Fong-Torres has been a trusted voice for music in not only the print space of Rolling Stone Magazine, but also as a Disc Jockey on the "Jive 95" -era of KSAN, not to mention his time as a host on "Fog City Radio" for KQED. You can find more info about Ben Fong-Torres @fongtorres on Instagram!

    Apr 6 2025
    March was Women's History Month and in this episode of the Music City San Francisco podcast, we recognize the uncountable contributions that women have made to the music industry and acknowledge the cultural biases they have had to overcome in order to bring more inclusion and more talent into the world of music. We take time to highlight some of the amazing women who have performed at Music City in March, including Pamela Parker, Michelle Lambert, Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums and many more. Penelope Houston of local punk legends, The Avengers, recommends we check out a special exhibit happening at the San Francisco Public Library, in the Spring of 2025, and we send our very own producer Albert Lopez to tell us more about it. Joining Brad in the studio this week is non other than the amazingly talented, multi-dimensional musician and engineer, Shaunna Hall; one of the founding members of Four Non-Blondes who still jams and occasionally tours with George Clinton.
