In the first episode of the seventh season of None But The Brave, co-hosts Hal Schwartz and Flynn McLean are very excited to be joined by Al Teller, who has had a legendary career in the record industry. Most importantly to listeners of this show, Teller was the President of Columbia Records from 1981-1985, which coincided with the period that Bruce Springsteen released Nebraska and Born In The USA. In a wide ranging conversation, Hal and Flynn talk to Teller about hearing both of those records for the first time, his thoughts on the Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere film adaptation (where he was played by David Krumholtz), and they also get his insight on the state of the music industry today.
