For episode 39, I'm joined by Maria Sherman (music journalist and author of 'Larger Than Life: A History of Boy Bands from NKOTB to BTS') to talk "Makeshift Love" from Good Charlotte's sixth album 'Youth Authority' (2016). We discuss what made this the perfect comeback song, GC's relationship with the press, and how GC fits into the boyband narrative.
