Über diesen Titel

What music would you have heard if you worked in a small radio station in the early 1990s? Saturn's Favorite Music will answer that question. Author Laura Lee and guests will take a deep dive into the music references in the novel of the same name one by one. Reading the book is not required-- it's all about the music. You'll get background on the songs you loved or loved to hate. There will be adult contemporary hits as well as the songs the DJs loved, from alternative to classic rock and the British Invasion. Join us as we dissect the music and lyrics, and decide which songs stand up and which should be left behind.

  • Time Passages, Beginnings and the End of the World (As We Know It)
    Feb 3 2026

    Jenny Hunter is back for an episode that is surprisingly upbeat for a set of songs that cover the temporal nature of existence, nostalgia and the end of the world as we know it. Also Leonard Bernstein. Songs include Al Stewart's "Year of the Cat" and "Time Passages," Chicago's "Beginnings" and R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World As We Know It (and I Feel Fine)," the only track that is less than six minutes long, but which makes up for it with the length of its title. Jenny talks about the best moments at Chicago concerts and Laura and Jenny explore whether there is a reference to Trump in a 1987 R.E.M. song.
