All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
[REBOADCAST FROM JUNE 22, 2022] In 1987, Rick Astley released the debut album Whenever You Need Somebody. Its first single, "Never Gonna Give You Up," spawned a number one hit the following year and decades later became one of the internet's most enduring memes: Rickrolling. Astley recently reissued his debut album, and he's currently on tour. He joins us to talk about his unique career. This segment was picked by AOI associate producer Simon Close for today's Producer Picks.
