S7.E6: The History of Synths

John takes Tom on a trip down memory lane, chronicling the history and evolution of the use of synthesizers in pop and rock music, with particular emphasis on the 1970s and 80s. Where did it all begin? Our hypothesis just might surprise you! And when did synths peak throughout music history? (Our opinions here won’t surprise you one bit.) One part education, one part exploration, one part adulation…this episode is all about the role that synthesizers played during the evolution of popular music and rock and roll…Comments?
