Description

It's time to dive into U2's much beloved, and also much maligned 9th studio album, Pop. It's a polarizing work among fans and critics and God knows the band's spent the last 25 years trying to distance themselves from it. But when you consider what it was intended to be and what they delivered, it is a record that could have been so much more. But the question is why? Was it really because they let Paul McGuiness book the tour too soon and they ran out of time to properly finish it? Was it not having Eno and or Lanois on board?  Was it having too many producers? Or did they just not have the big songs as Bono has conceded? Tune in and find out.

Into the Into the Heart of U2 Podcast is the most comprehensive dive into the history of U2 as told by folks who were there while it happened. Co-hosts, author and musician Bill See, and Melody Muraca, the founder of one of the first U2 Fanzines in the U.S., go through U2's career album by album and tour by tour, and the perception of U2 in cultural consciousness. They still care about the band, but they're concerned about their legacy. So, they're going to try and get to the bottom of whether U2 is one of the greats of all time or are the haters right after all.
