Description

WE MADE IT.
This is the final episode of season 1, the second part to the two part finale that we started last week with the story of Nile Rodgers. If you haven't listened to last week's part one yet, stop now, go listen, then come back. In this episode we continue with the story of Nile Rodgers picking up exactly where we left off last week, on the day of the release of Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang.
At the end of the episode I give my thesis for the season as a whole, tying together, and wrapping up, the entire season. Don't worry, we'll be back in a few months for what's sure to be an exciting season 2. 
Huge credit to the book Last Night a DJ Saved My Life by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton which provided a huge portion of the background research for these last two episodes.
Anyone who wants to know more about these topics has to read their amazing work.
