Really?? is a podcast about cultural memory — the icons and ideas we’ve mythologized and, in the process, might have misread or misunderstood. In the first season of this new series from Talkhouse (How Long Gone, Subway Takes, Alison Roman, Björk), the New Yorker's Naomi Fry convenes a multi-generational mix of musicians, writers, and cultural figures in conversation, to rediscover and reconsider ... more

Naomi Fry and quite a few of her guests insult, rather than honor, The Doors on their 60th anniversary. The podcast’s basic premise is that The Doors are universally considered corny and generally disliked.
This is a ridiculous premise when talking about a Hall-of-Fame band headed by two UCLA film school graduates that became the first American band to have eight consecutive Gold albums, has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, and is what Naomi herself calls “maybe the greatest American ba... more
As a longtime Doors fan, this was the podcast I didn’t know I needed. Actually I did know but I wasn’t sure it would happen- intelligent minds speaking about ideas and trends and cultural significance, concepts at 30,000 feet not regurgitated laundry list of trope and cliche comments and facts for the sake of shock and sensationalism, that’s a dead end. But this is new and fresh, love it!
The doors are still awesome! Thanks!
