We Didn’t Start the Podcast — A Show About Billy Joel

by

An album by album re-watch of Billy Joel’s career, with snarky and occasionally informed co-hosts Meg Donahue and Adam Ragusea. This 13-episode miniseries starts with reviews of proto-Joel releases from Billy’s boyhood band The Hassles and his infamous organ-metal duo Attila, then proceeds through his solo albums of widely varying quality but uniform Joel-ness. Relive the insufferable sincerity of “Piano Man,” the poofy-haired smooth sax lines of “The Stranger,” the late-80s cocaine sheen of “Storm Front” and all the (mis)steps between.
