With the first season of the FADER Uncovered wrapped, host Mark Ronson is on the other side of the desk this week, opening up to the legendary Rick Rubin on the Broken Record podcast about his life, inspiration, and craft. Mark tells Rick about the day he met Amy Winehouse, how and when he fell in love with DJing, what it was like growing up with Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones as his stepfather, and how isolation from the studio during the pandemic made him think his days as a pop producer might be over. You can find the full episode with Mark, and more episodes of Broken Record, wherever you get your podcasts.

If you’ve missed any of the episodes from the first season of The FADER Uncovered — or if you just want to revisit some of the best moments from the podcast so far — dig back into the archives for interviews with HAIM, Erykah Badu, Questlove, Damon Albarn, and many more. We’ll be back with Season 2 of The FADER Uncovered on August 23.
