It used to take a whole crew to create a pop song. You needed a composer, a

lyricist, an arranger or orchestrator, a band, a recording engineer, a sound mixer,

but today in the pop world,

a single person can do all of that.

And that person is called the producer.

Oak Felder is a producer, a really, really good one.

I've won a couple of Grammys in my career.

I literally have a plaque upstairs that says that I sold 60 million records.

None of that matters in this room because this is where we create and I

am serving the artist. In this extraordinary episode, this unsung science

grand finale, we're going to do something I don't think has ever been done.

We'll record the entire sessions in which a professional LA producer creates a new song start to finish in real time. He'll describe what he's

doing and what technology makes it possible. I don't think you'll ever hear a pop

song the same way again. I'm David Pogue and this is unsung science. I'm CBS News correspondent Major Garrett, host of the podcast Agent of Betrayal, the double life of Robert

Hanson. During the Cold War FBI agent Robert Hanson traded classified secrets to the Kremlin in exchange for cash and

jewels.

In the podcast, you'll hear from Hanson's closest friends, family members, victims, and colleagues

for the most comprehensive telling of who Robert Hanson really was.

Binge the entire series Now, Agent of Betrayal.

The Double Life of Robert Hanson is available on the Wondery App, Amazon Music, or wherever you get

your podcasts.

Hey there, it's Mary Harris, and I host Slates Daily News Podcast, what next?
