• Phil and Ted's Sexy Boomer Show, Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 2:00 pm with guest Peter Richardson ("Brand New Beat: The Wild Rise of Rolling Stone Magazine")

  In a special fund drive edition, Phil and Ted welcome author Peter Richardson to talk about his latest book "Brand New Beat: The Wild Rise of Rolling Stone Magazine." Rolling Stone's first decade was truly rock and roll: chaotic, wild, and unpredictable. Brand New Beat charts the origins and evolution of the magazine during its formative early years in San Francisco. Founded in 1967 by a 21-year-old college dropout, Rolling Stone and its editors were steeped in the Bay Area's counterculture and viewed rock and roll as the animating spirit of a social revolution. Reaching beyond music, the magazine delved into the tempestuous culture and politics of the time.
