Bullseye wasn't always just interviews. Back when it was called The Sound of Young America, Jesse and his then co-hosts Jordan and Gene also recorded skits, sketches, and scripted bits. The gang is back together again to look back at those college years. buff.ly/2Qqfn19
25 Years Ago, NPR’s Bullseye with Jesse Thorn was a weird college radio show
This whole month, we're celebrating the 25th anniversary of Bullseye! On this episode, we’re going back. Way back to the year 2000, when Bullseye went by a completely different name.
When the show…

It was a gift to hear Rebecca Sugar play their song "Hill to Die On" from their recently released album, "Lonely Magic." For the Steven Universe fans, they also played their song "Love Like You" from the end credits of the show: buff.ly/MG5fo51

Jason Mantzoukas was ready to pull out all the stops at Bullseye Live at LAist. He talked to Bullseye about forever being the "improv guy," and why he didn't continue his own college radio show for 25 years - even though he bought $5000 worth of Jazz CD's to make it: buff.ly/MG5fo51

Despite being one of the most popular podcasts in history, “WTF with Marc Maron” was run by two people: Marc Maron as the host, and Brendan McDonald as his producer. They both talked to Bullseye about their equal partnership in producing the show, and why it ended. Listen now: buff.ly/tL0WFgG

Yaya Bey considers herself a songwriter first, recording artist second, and perhaps least of all, a live performer. Still, if you've seen her Tiny Desk concert, you know she's great live! She’s just most comfortable making music in the studio. Watch her conversation with Bullseye: buff.ly/c9yKB1B
