Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series was filmed during early 2020 lockdowns, forcing Ronson to conduct several interviews remotely—including a memorable segment where he and Charli XCX geek out over Zoom about hyperpop from their respective living rooms.
Ronson deliberately structured episodes around 'controversial' technologies that musicians initially resisted—sampling, drum machines, Auto-Tune—to mirror how each generation panics about art dying while actually expanding its possibilities.
