About this episode

We're bringing you a special episode today from our friends over at Broken Record! We had an amazing interview with Rick Rubin, and wanted to share a piece of his world with all of you! Enjoy this special discussion between the Broken Record team and the Beastie Boys and Spike Jonze!

"It's been nearly 35 years since the Beastie Boys released their classic debut album, Licensed To Ill. In this candid conversation, Rick Rubin, who started out as the Beastie's DJ, reconnects with Mike D and Ad-Rock. Spike Jonze, who directed the new Beastie Boys documentary, Beastie Boys Story, also sits in and plays moderator. It's been nearly 20 years since Ad-Rock and Rick have talked and like old friends, they jump right into a slew of inside jokes and hilarious memories of their lives leading up to the release of Licensed to Ill.
