Waxing lyrical: 'Broken Record'

In 'Broken Record' the writer and podcaster Malcolm Gladwell teams up with legendary producer Rick Rubin for longform interviews with famous musicians about their life in music. We share excerpts from two shows. The first features the DJ and drummer Ahmir Khalib Thompson (better known as Questlove or ?stlove). The second comes from a conversation between Malcolm Gladwell and Rick Rubin about the latter's work producing several Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers' albums (including 'Wildflowers') in the early Nineties.
