Quantum Criminals (Steely Dan) with Alex Pappademas and Joan LeMay. Remembering Sinéad O'Connor with David Wild.

In part one of our Summer Music Book Series, we discuss Steely Dan with Alex Pappademas and Joan LeMay whose new book, Quantum Criminals (University of Texas Press) is a beautifully illustrated catalogue of ramblers and wild gamblers who populate the songs of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. And with the passing of Sinéad O'Connor, writer David Wild joins us to remember interviewing her in 1991 for her Rolling Stone cover story during the year she broke in America, while touching on some of the issues with how she was portrayed during her darkest moments. Carrie Colliton has the week off. Written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Please listen and subscribe to us wherever you get podcasts, and tell your friends.
