As the co-creator and executive producer of Billions, Brian Koppelman is currently in charge of one of TV's most popular new dramas. But before he was a successful writer of films and TV shows, Brian was a music nerd who worked in the record business, shepherding the careers of a diverse group of artists including Tracy Chapman, Metallica, and D'Angelo. And he's still a passionate fan, as Steve learned when he talked to Brian about everything from the Tygers of Pan Tang to R.E.M. to Courtney Barnett.

Rock Critic Steven Hyden ("Your Favorite Band Is Killing Me", "Twilight Of The Gods") talks with rock stars and the country’s biggest music writers about what’s happening in rock. Presented by 93X (www.93X.com) and Uproxx.com (http://uproxx.com/music/)
