2. Woodstock’s Willy Wonka
Podcast: Break Stuff: The Story of Woodstock '99Published On: Thu Aug 29 2024
Description: No one person embodies the Woodstock brand more than Michael Lang, the cherubic-faced concert promoter who came to fame as one of the stars of Michael Wadleigh’s 1970 documentary ‘Woodstock.’ He’s also a symbol of how the counterculture has been commodified as a reliable cash cow selling hippie nostalgia. It’s time to separate fact from mythology, and explore how the original Woodstock was in many ways as troubled as Woodstock ’99. Host: Steven Hyden Producers: Noah Malale, Isaac Lee, Bobby Wagner, Jonathan Hirsch, Catherine St. Louis, Kara Kornhaber, Karan Nevatia, Betty Márquez Rosales, and Vikram Patel Composition and Sound Design: Steve LaRosa and Joseph Fridman Learn more about your ad choices.
