A History of One of the Most Star-Studded 'Simpsons' Episodes

Welcome to the VICE Magazine Podcast, your definitive guide to enlightening information. Our monthly podcast is now a weekly podcast. We kicked off our new format last week with a discussion on race and toxic masculinity, and this time around, we have a lighter (and much) beloved topic: The Simpsons.

Noisey, VICE's music site, recently ran a theme week on the intersection of music and TV. It covered everything from Chapelle's Show to Beavis and Butt-Head and even managed to work in an article on Law & Order's "dun dun" sound. For the theme week, Dan Ozzi, an editor at Noisey, co-wrote a feature with Alex Robert Ross about the iconic 1996 episode of The Simpsons, "Homerpalooza," which had tons of rock stars, like the Smashing Pumpkins and Peter Frampton, playing themselves. So we had Dan on the show to talk about the episode's relevance and lasting impact.

You can listen to the episode through the embedded player below, or you can subscribe on iTunes, Acast, and Google Play.

But if you're using a different platform, then this RSS link should let you add the podcast to whatever platform you'd like. And if you like what you hear, please take a moment to review the podcast, especially on iTunes.

Next week, we'll have James Burns, an award-winning director and producer, to discuss his latest VICE documentary about America's largest right-wing militia. Come back on November 1 to check it out.
