Ep. 206: CDs, Napster & Musical Memories: My Chat With Musician Robbie Gennet

About this episode

Zach Randles-Friedman discusses music nostalgia and interviews musician Robbie Gennet about his career and new music.

This week I went digging through old boxes and found a stack of CDs I haven't touched in years — and it sent me down a full nostalgia spiral. From Two Live Crew to Dolly Parton, Duran Duran to Alanis Morissette, I talk about how music is basically a time machine for your memories.\ Then I sit down with LA-based musician Robbie Gennet — a seriously talented artist who has performed at Graceland and has an incredible history in music. He's releasing a lot of new music this year, and I'm already a fan. We talk about his journey, his sound, and his dreams of a world tour. 🎵 Check out Robbie Gennet's music and website: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1RLP13ilHJQ7HNqwRrcY4m?si=UJzNwRlmTzOVCF29F3TEBg https://www.robbiegennet.com/home https://www.instagram.com/robbieg.music/
