Producing R.E.M. with Don Dixon

Adam sits down with music producer, songwriter, and artist Don
Dixon to discuss his work as part of the producing team for
Murmur and Reckoning by R.E.M..

They talk about how Don became a music producer, how he met Mitch
Easter, and how he started working with R.E.M.. They look at the
differences between the two albums, as well as the challenges
they faced whilst making them. 

They also touch on the legacy of the albums, how R.E.M. went on
to become a much bigger band, and what it is that Don values in
music.

Our next episode is out on Monday February 5th and will begin our
coverage of Fables of the Reconstruction, the third album by
R.E.M..
