Rock in Retrospect
“Rock in Retrospect” focuses on the lives, careers and legacies of artists who made a significant impact on the music industry. Host Nick Bambach invites a guest to discuss their favorite artists and why they matter. We also occasionally create episodes focusing on awards shows and music-related institutions such as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Oscars, the Kennedy Center Honors and the Grammys. If you enjoy stimulating and often-humorous discussions about music history in a laid-back environment, then this is the podcast for you!

Duran Duran
Nick and guest Jon Lamoreaux (The Hustle Podcast) dissect the musical legacy of new wave icons Duran Duran. Taking full advantage of the music video medium in the early 1980s, Duran Duran quickly became global superstars only a few years after their formation. Beyond their photogenic good looks and trendy outfits, they wrote and performed universal anthems that transcended generations. They experienced several ups and downs throughout their career, but they never gave up and continue to make new music. They are pop music survivors in every sense of the word. If there is something you should know, it’s that Duran Duran is one of the most popular and innovative bands of the last four decades.
