Summary

Wednesdays are for reminiscing, right? Well, on this podcast, it is. Revolt TV Co-Founder, and former Head of Music Programming at MTV Andy Schuon rejoins Kennedy to discuss more about their glory days at MTV in the 90s. Andy and Kennedy attempt to pinpoint at what time MTV became the most influential by pushing alternative, rap, and hip-hop music in their regular rotation, as well as how they rebranded the network into a soapbox for various musical artists to be able to hop onto.  They recall some of the most notable celebrities encounters such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Dennis Rodman.
