Sometimes life gets busy, even for Nolan and Ben of Young Nostalgia. Earlier this year, a simple week off turned into an extended break from the show. In that time, the guys developed some ideas to update the podcast format and make the comeback even more special. This episode is to provide eager listeners a progress update and a notification to tune in for next week's brand new episode. Young Nostalgia is not retired, and will be returning better than ever.
This episode will conclude the Music Industry theme for the This Month in Music History series. However, listeners should not worry as the month of April 2019 will mark the beginning of a new theme, Television History. The rich variety of events occurring in March make it a fitting end to this portion of the series. Join Nolan and Ben as they talk about topics ranging from the opening of the first FM radio station, the Knighting of Paul McCartney, to the first airing of “We Are The World.” http://marqueemag.com/2015/03/this-month-in-music-history-march-7/YoungNostalgia2017@gmail.com
