NEWSTALK 1010: IN DEPTH WITH AUTHOR AND ACTIVIST DANNY GOLDBERG!

This week on the Richard Crouse Show Podcast we meet Danny Goldberg. Regular listeners of this show may remember my interview with him from a year or two back when we talked about his rock ‘n roll life as the manager of Nirvana, the publicist for Led Zeppelin and record a company executive who released Stevie Nicks’ solo records and Warren Zevon’s Grammy winning “The Wind,” Steve Earle’s Grammy winner “The Revolution Starts Now,” and the Baha Men’s “Who Let The Dogs Out.”

What you may not know is that he is also an activist, sitting on the Board of the ACLU Foundation of Southern California and the Nation Institute and Americans for Peace Now and many others.

His new book is “Bloody Crossroads 2020: Art, Entertainment, and Resistance to Trump.” It’s available wherever you buy fine books and takes a look at how singer Taylor Swift became an unwitting idol of the neo-Nazi movement, explores the impact of entertainment celebrities in communications, fundraising, and campaigning to support the election of Joe Biden and much more.

The Totally Useless Information: Things you don’t find on cars anymore!

Richard appears on the November 18, 2021 edition of the Totally Useless Information podcast to talk about things, once standard, that you don’t find on cars anymore with hosts Nick Maiorano and Roy Locascio.

Some info on the podcast: Listen, laugh & learn: this is the premise of The Totally Useless Information podcast, created by Nick Maiorano and Roy Locascio. The two hosts scour the internet every week and bob and weave their way through the morass of fake facts in search of real – but totally useless – information that you thought you’d never need to know. The information can get so wildly ridiculous and intriguing that it has attracted audiences in more than 50 countries which have been tuning in and coming back again and again.
