OMYAM Podcast Episode 6: Tales from the Bargain Bin #1: The New Monkees

Hey Hey, they're...who?  In 1986, after the original Prefab Four made a surprise comeback, producers decided that the next logical step was to find four new guys to make a New Monkees.  Surely huge TV ratings and hit singles would follow.  Well, not quite.   In this episode, I look at the idea, the show, the music, and the four guys tapped to be new versions of Micky, Davy, Peter and Mike, and see if they truly deserved the apathy that greeted them at the time.  And you can judge for yourself with my YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQmUezIbRJ6qme5DWDi_kf22. This was a fun one to put together, and I hope it's just as fun to listen to.
