Steve Rosenthal joins John and Stewart for a lighthearted journey through the past - starting with early mentor Herb Abramson, his ‘gigs’ at CBGB's, and building his first studio, Dreamland. All leading up to the opening of The Magic Shop - New York’s legendary studio which was home to hundreds of recording artists like David Bowie, Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth, Ramones, Blondie, Coldplay, Arcade Fire and many more.  

Plus, the track of the week takes a close look at the many versions of The Beach Boys' postmodern masterpiece, "Surf's Up."
