About This Podcast
Unplugged Revisited is a podcast that celebrates, critiques, and dives deep into the last three-and-a-half decades of the pop cultural game changer MTV Unplugged. Featuring discussions with artists who played the show, individuals who worked on the show, or some of my fellow music journalist friends talking about various aspects of the show’s history, Unplugged Revisited will assess MTV Unplugged’s impact and legacy from the show's humble beginning in 1989 all the way through to the present day.
