  • Les Paul vs. Fender: The Men Who Changed the Electric Guitar

    Les Paul vs. Fender: The Men Who Changed the Electric Guitar
    2026/10/12
    In their own very different ways, Les Paul and Leo Fender revolutionized the sound, design, and possibilities of the electric guitar and their paths would lead to influence and riches beyond what either could have imagined. But how much of the story we’ve been told is actually true? How much is fact, and how much is mythmaking, marketing, and legend? On this episode of the Monday Music Club, Will Anderson is joined by Cory Wong to pull back the curtain on two towering figures, explore the rivalry and innovations that shaped modern guitar, and separate the history from the mythology.

  • The Day Music Went Digital

    The Day Music Went Digital
    2026/10/05
    Before Spotify, Apple Music, and endless playlists, there was the MP3, and one mysterious music leaker who helped expose just how radically digital technology was about to change the music business. Will Anderson takes us back to the late ’90s and early 2000s, when music started escaping the CD and physical album, and a new world of file-sharing, leaks, and Napster sent the industry scrambling. Vulture’s Jason P. Frank joins to unpack the mystery of the music leaker at the center of this story, how MP3s made it possible for music to spread instantly across the internet, and how Napster turned that possibility into a full-blown revolution. We’ll explore the excitement, controversy, and unintended consequences of a technology that made music easier to share than ever and forced record labels to confront a future they weren’t ready for. From mysterious leaks to the rise of file-sharing, the MP3 era transformed how music was discovered, distributed, and consumed, laying the groundwork for the streaming world we live in today.

In this episode Will Anderson is joined by Mark Blake, author of “Dreams: The Many Lives of Fleetwood Mac” to unpack the story behind “Silver Springs,” the complicated relationship that inspired it, and the decision that would become one of Fleetwood Mac’s most infamous moments.
