In this episode, we dive deep into The Nightfly, Donald Fagen’s 1982 solo debut — a sleek, jazzy, and visionary album that captured both the optimism and unease of the atomic age. We explore how Fagen crafted a record that felt both personal and cinematic, reflecting the sound of late-night radio, suburban dreams, and Cold War anxieties. Join us as we tune in to Fagen’s imagined airwaves and discover why The Nightfly remains a timeless broadcast from the past — and the future.
