About this episode
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Abba had an impressive run of pop hits while touring the world non-stop in the 1970s, but as the 1980s came around, they were close to a breaking point, both personally and professionally. The team get together to talk about being in a band with your wife, the Swedish wrecking crew, and where pop catchiness comes from.
