The B-Side

Lucifer Notion

The B-Side tells the untold stories behind the music. Each episode, host Nirob takes one song, one artist, or one moment — the first sound ever recorded, the birth of jazz in New Orleans, Robert Johnson at the crossroads, Billie Holiday singing a protest, the Beatles on a Sunday night in 1964, Dylan plugging in, the birth of hip-hop — and rebuilds it: the era, the people, the making of the music, the moment it broke, and the world it left behind. From a phonograph in 1877 to the streaming revolution, from Beethoven composing while deaf to Queen building a record that radio said would never play, The B-Side is about the craft, the luck, and the lives behind the music we love — and why some songs never leave us. Meticulously researched, honest about what is documented and what is legend, and told for the whole family. Clean and suitable for all ages. A new song every week
