The Day Music Went Digital
Before Spotify, Apple Music, and endless playlists, there was the MP3, and one mysterious music leaker who helped expose just how radically digital technology was about to change the music business. Will Anderson takes us back to the late ’90s and early 2000s, when music started escaping the CD and physical album, and a new world of file-sharing, leaks, and Napster sent the industry scrambling. Vulture’s Jason P. Frank joins to unpack the mystery of the music leaker at the center of this story, how MP3s made it possible for music to spread instantly across the internet, and how Napster turned that possibility into a full-blown revolution. We’ll explore the excitement, controversy, and unintended consequences of a technology that made music easier to share than ever and forced record labels to confront a future they weren’t ready for. From mysterious leaks to the rise of file-sharing, the MP3 era transformed how music was discovered, distributed, and consumed, laying the groundwork for the streaming world we live in today.

Silver Springs, Stevie Nicks, and the Story of Fleetwood Mac
Stevie Nicks was already a star but she needed help bringing her music to life. “Silver Springs” became her opus: a deeply personal song born from her tumultuous relationship with Lindsey Buckingham and a heartfelt gift to her mother. But when the song was left off the record, it marked more than a creative decision. It was the beginning of the end. In this episode Will Anderson is joined by Mark Blake, author of “Dreams: The Many Lives of Fleetwood Mac” to unpack the story behind “Silver Springs,” the complicated relationship that inspired it, and the decision that would become one of Fleetwood Mac’s most infamous moments.
