Description
Born in the USA isn't Ben's favorite Bruce Springsteen album. In fact, it's not even his favorite Bruce Springsteen album whose name begins with Born. So why the heck are we covering it here? Well, despite selling 30 million copies in the last 37 years, it's sometimes unfairly dismissed as Bruce's vapid radio album.

So join Ben, who gets to be the Boss — for two hours, at least — and the awesomely insightful Employees Amanda, Rich, and Phil, as they discuss a huge hit album that's way more interesting than you might remember.Cohosts: Ben Marlin, Amanda Rodgers, Rich Bunnell, Phil MaddoxComplete show notes: https://discordpod.com/listen/072-bruce-springsteen-born-in-the-usa-1984Support the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/discordpod
