We love historical “Firsts” so much that we end up ignoring the people who come right after them. But without these runners-up, the trailblazers are just one-offs or oddities––instead of the beginning of big change.

With guests sportscaster Otis Livingston, Michael Oldak and Rhino Records co-founder Harold Bronson.
