No Dogs in Space

The podcast discusses the Beastie Boys' success with their album 'License to Ill', early controversies and conspiracies surrounding the band, tensions and creative decisions, the financial impact on Def Jam Records, meeting the Dust Brothers, the story behind 'Johnny Royale', the lack of obvious singles in Paul's Boutique, and repetitions of 'Goodbye'.

The podcast delves into the rise of The Beastie Boys in the music industry, their collaboration with Russell Simmons, the accessibility and differences between hardcore punk and hip hop, their tour with Madonna, the turning point song 'Hold It Now Hit It', the use of tape loops in music, their collaboration with Run-DMC, the positive feedback from Run DMC on their debut album, and discussions with Adam Dubin about iconic music videos and his documentary 'Murder in the Front Row'.
