A proposito di questo titolo

What music would you have heard if you worked in a small radio station in the early 1990s? Saturn's Favorite Music will answer that question. Author Laura Lee and guests will take a deep dive into the music references in the novel of the same name one by one. Reading the book is not required-- it's all about the music. You'll get background on the songs you loved or loved to hate. There will be adult contemporary hits as well as the songs the DJs loved, from alternative to classic rock and the British Invasion. Join us as we dissect the music and lyrics, and decide which songs stand up and which should be left behind.

  • Wilkommen to Rickrolling, World Weariness, Alice's Restaurant, and Cabaret
    Jan 15 2026

    Nick Bean is back to talk about Broadway, Liza Minelli and jazz hands. Nick laments never being rickrolled when Rick Astley's “Never Gonna Give You Up” was a meme. Bruce Springsteen's “Human Touch” leads to a discussion of when you need an uplifting song and when it's more cathartic to wallow in the sadness. And there are divergent opinions on Arlo Guthrie's “Alice's Restaurant.” One of the hosts gives it an A, while the other thinks it is 20 minutes of his life he'll never get back.

  • Lee Michaels is Stoned and So is the Plexiglass Toilet
    Jan 3 2026

    Vinyl rules in this episode. A 1969 stoner anthem crashes a small-market radio shift as the wrong Lee Michaels song is played on air, the conversation wanders through hidden vinyl tracks, chateau recording studios in France with Elton John, the surprise appearance of Styx’s “Plexiglass Toilet,” and the classical roots of Eric Carmen’s All By Myself. Plus, a personal bombshell: Jenny reveals her all-time favorite song.

  • Yacht Rock, MTV Yachts, and Steely Knives
    Dec 27 2025

    Fan favorites Jane Taylor and Justin Miller are back for an episode that starts on a yacht and ends in a hotel you may never be able to leave. They kick things off with Christopher Cross’s “Sailing,” which leads to waiting room music, funerals with questionable playlists, and the stodginess of the Grammy Awards. They compare and contrast Cross's “yacht rock” with the MTV video yachts of Duran Duran as they take up “Rio” and reveal their favorite Duran deep cuts. Elton John’s “The One” leads to a comparison with “Your Song,” and a discussion of intimacy, distance, and how love songs age. After a detour into the question of what the best song of the 70s might be, the episode closes with a long stay at the Eagles’ “Hotel California,” touching on desert road trips, childhood fear, resorts that are past their prime, and strangely ineffective cutlery.
