About

It’s the late 90’s at MTV, when The Osbournes and Newlyweds reshaped television and TRL dominated afterschool programming. But who decided which videos would be in "TRL’s Top Ten Countdown". “Welcome To The Music Lounge” is a new podcast that delves into the exclusive world of MTV’s Music Department during the launch and height of Total Request Live. Podcast hosts and former MTV Music Department employees Andrew Schiffman and Perry Turcotte chat with MTV and record label executives, music programmers, VJs, and artists about the Music Lounge on the 25th floor of MTV that would make or break an artist such as Britney Spears, Eminem, Destiny’s Child, and Link Park. It’s a nostalgic journey packed with interviews, insights, and perhaps a few juicy secrets from the golden age of music television. Grab your headphones and get ready to relive the era of music mavericks who defined a generation.
