John Schaefer and the first 40 years of ‘New Sounds’

John Schaefer has hosted and produced the WNYC show “New Sounds” since 1982 with an insatiable curiosity and omnivorous musical palate. This week, as he gets set to celebrate the 40th anniversary, he joins us to talk about his radio career and his adventurous musical taste. We talk about the state of radio and his most off-the-rails interview, his love of horse racing, Schaefer beer and more.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com  Email: [email protected]  Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine  Twitter: @brooklynmag  Instagram: @brooklynmagazine  Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope
