S1 E4: Cousin Brucie & Murray the K: Bringing Beatlemania to America
Episode 4 of Storied takes us into the world of media personalities who didn’t just report on the Beatles — they helped launch their legend. Host Benji Rosenzweig shines a spotlight on Cousin Brucie and Murray the K, two wildly charismatic figures who served as transatlantic megaphones for the Fab Four’s arrival in America. Their impact went far beyond radio; they shaped the cultural zeitgeist that made Beatlemania possible. Joining Benji is music executive Lee Trink, former President of Capitol Records — the very label that released the Beatles’ music in the U.S. — who shares insider stories and insights from decades in the music industry.
