Too much talk radio or not enough?

From May 7th,  TXFM Drive will broadcast a once-weekly series of anniversary themed album discussions presented by Joe Donnelly.

Joe writes:

This year, 2015, sees the anniversary of a wide number of hugely influential and popular albums. Through interviews with the producers behind the albums, I aim to get to the real story behind the work. How difficult was the recording process? Were there creative struggles? Did anyone realise the albums would become as successful and critically-acclaimed as they did? How exactly does the relationship between producer and band work or, in some cases, fall asunder?

’95 was a good year, in fairness.
