The Revolutionary History of the DJ


Listen Later

Who was the first DJ? Where did the term disc jockey come from? Who are the superstar DJs that changed the game? How have DJs survived and thrived all these years? These are just some of the questions our guest Bill Brewster takes for a spin. Bill is the co-author of Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, which chronicles the definitive history of the DJ from the 1930s to the present day, from radio to the clubs to your streaming services. Here's how DJs have revolutionized the way music is created and consumed.
