The Twin History Podcast

In this week's solo episode, Johnny McCann brings the thrilling story of Bruce Springsteen's The Rising to life. As the 90s ended, Bruce reformed The E Street Band. Out of the tragedy of the horrendous terrorist attacks on 9/11, Springsteen and The E Street Band forged a stunning artistic response. The Rising remains Springsteen's best album of the 21st century. Johnny delves into his own love of Springsteen, the genesis of the album, the trouble on E Street, Bruce's underwhelming career in the 90s, and gives his own take on 9/11.New episodes of The Twin History Podcast drop weekly.Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss one.Our theme song licensing agreement is below:''Killers''Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)License under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0.https://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
