About
A music and pop-culture podcast from Ricky G and Eric Krueger. Ricky knows a lot. Eric knows almost nothing. New episodes Wednesdays, plus New Music Friday. It is, as Ricky puts it, a pop culture music podcast is what I've been told.
we're supposed to be supportive and it's educational to anybody and everybody, whether you know the information or not.Ricky, Selena: An Introduction to the Texas Icon
the hosts
Knows a lot
Ricky G
Music and pop-culture obsessive with a real background in the industry - an incomplete music career as a kid, time at Radio Disney, and music journalism since. He's interviewed Carrie Underwood and his reporting has run in Billboard. He does the research. He also sings the songs badly, because the show doesn't play clips.
I have no authority to speak on any of these topics. I'm just really interested in pop culture and music.Selena: An Introduction to the Texas Icon
Knows almost nothing
Eric Krueger
Asks the question everyone else is too embarrassed to ask. Reads contracts for a living, which is how "Eric's Little Legal Corner" happened. Did not know who Selena was. Does now.
the dynamic works really well because you know a lot, and I don't know anything.Selena: An Introduction to the Texas Icon

Listener questions genuinely become episodes. Send a topic, a song, or a correction — Eric will probably need the correction.
