8. Susan Rogers

Guess That Record returns with the first episode of 2023, on the one year anniversary of our very first episode! For Episode 9, Jackson interviews Susan Rogers. Susan served as the staff engineer for Prince from 1983-1987, working on some of the biggest albums of Prince’s career including Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, Parade, and Sign O the Times. She also worked with artists like David Byrne, Tevin Campbell, and the Barenaked Ladies (producing their hit album Stunt). After leaving the music business, she became a professor at the Berklee College of Music. In this episode, Jackson and Susan speak about how she got her start in music, and what it was like to work with Prince.

Guess That Record

Guess That Record is a podcast hosted by Canadian musician Jackson Reed. Each week Jackson will sit down with a special guest for an in-depth interview about their career and experiences. Then, the guest will have to guess which album Jackson pulled from his collection, leading to a discussion about the record. A show for anyone that’s a fan of music, Guess That Record will be posting new episodes on Wednesdays!

On this episode of Guess That Record, Jackson speaks with Jem Finer! A founding member of The Pogues, Jem played banjo on all of the group’s records. He also helped write many of their most well known songs including “Sunny Side of the Street,””Misty Morning, Albert Bridge,” and the all-time Christmas classic “Fairytale of New York.” In the episode, Jackson and Jem discuss how Shane MacGowan turned him on to Irish music, behind the scenes stories from The Pogues discography, and how Jem created a piece of music that lasts for 1000 years.
