Yes, as of today, 4/19:

Minneapolis Always Been the Bomb How did Prince Rogers Nelson become an international superstar? The story begins in Minneapolis in the 1970s. We speak to Prince’s first producer, Chris Moon, about helping Prince find his voice in the studio.

Yes, thx, just came up on my FB.

The Spotify link:

Finally found the time to listen to the first three episodes.

For me, the most interesting one was the first one, as Chris Moon is not that often featured in podcasts or articles. New to me - and probably most of you, too - was Chris Moon talking about racism in MPLS in the 1970s. He told the interviewer that he was getting death threats by mail because he was working with black clients, i.e. Prince. He thankfully never told Prince, though. Horrible!

The series is very good...i didn't think the latest would appeal to many as it focused on wardrobe but it is truly amazing, he had a whole department for this. The info we got from Marie France and Stacia Lang, absolute GOLD.

So so good.

Already three episodes further. I like it very much !

Really good podcast.

Although i have my (serious) doubts with everything Chris Moon said...

Chris Moon fills in a lot of details here that others may not have heard about BUT this episode has some errors. Owen Husney is responsible for producing the publicity golder, getting photographs, getting Prince signed by Warner Brothers. Owen is kinda given short shrift here.

Yup. Moon has always taken responsibility for "branding" Prince by name and color.BUT...Moon listened to him and got him management -- without Moon (and later Husney), what would have happened?

I'm always surprised to read that people didn't know that Prince had his own department to produce his clothes, how Marie France and Stacia designed, etc.

No podcast is perfect but the first episode had some glaring errors in sequencing.
Was "I Wanna Be Your Lover" really on MTV in 1983? It was on Midnight Special and Bandstand, previously -- but I hever saw it on MTV.

Exactly.

I thought that the video for "1999" was the first Prince video to be played on MTV...
