Pilot Episode. Kenny and Mark kick-off “All I Want to Do is Talk About Madonna” by going all the way back to the very beginning: the first song on the first side of Madonna’s first album. Discussed: Madonna’s demo recordings, “Crimes of Passion”, early ambitions, Danceteria DJs, Maripol, Erica Bell, and the power of synths.

Season One: From ‘Star’ to ‘Girl’ (1983-1987)
In this provocative (naturally) and confessional (essentially) new podcast, two long-time fans have the conversation you wish you could have about the one and only Queen of Pop: Madonna. Writers Kenny Finkle and Mark Snyder start at the very beginning, to where it always begins with Madonna: the music. Each episode tackles a single track in the Madonna canon (beginning with, yup, “Lucky Star”) as they move through the boundary-pushing videos, norm-challenging performances, hair-dying transformations - climaxing with Madonna’s first world tour - the “Who’s That Girl?” show. Four years into a nearly-40 year career - and she (and we!) are just getting started.
