	Description:		From Prince to BTS we're sharing podcasts about the music icons you love, and a few you don't know yet. Featuring: 1. The Kitchen Sisters Present: In 1983 Prince hired LA sound technician, Susan Rogers, one of the few women in the industry, to upgrade his home recording studio as he began work on Purple Rain. In the 4 years they worked together, Prince recorded at least a song a day and they worked together for 24 hours, 36 hours, 96 hours at a stretch, layering and perfecting his music and his hot funky sound. 2. Popcast: The rise of K-Pop in North America has been rapid. Now that K-pop is experiencing such success on its own terms, the questions it faces are changing. Should K-pop acts release English-language music? To what degree should they focus on collaborations with non-Korean artists? 3. Aria Code: In Verdi's Rigoletto, Gilda falls in love for the first time but is too naive to see how deceitful her new beau is. In Act I she expresses this love in a show stopping aria. Host Rhiannon Giddens and her 3 guests discuss how Gilda's infatuation rings true to people today, and recall the feeling of first love. 4. Geeks and Beats: Alan & Michael look at the history of music in video games, and the surprising number of major rock stars who have scored soundtracks for your pew-pew-pew. 5.
