TMT 148: Lori Majewski

Talk Music Talk with boice

You have to admire someone whose journalism career owes a debt to Duran Duran. In 1987, for a college assignment, Lori Majewski started a Duranzine about her all-time favorite group. The publication once held a circulation of 5000 international Duranies. Her love of writing was sparked. Career highlights since those early days include co-founding Teen People plus various editor stints at US Weekly and Entertainment Weekly. In 2014, Lori co-authored (with Jonathan Bernstein) an oral history on ‘80s music, Mad World. The book features 36 new wave songs and the stories behind them with all-new interviews from some of the era’s greatest artists including the Smiths, Depeche Mode and of course, Duran Duran. Nick Rhodes, the group’s keyboardist, even penned the foreword. Currently, Lori hosts Feedback (with Nik Carter), a morning news show on SiriusXM’s talk music Volume (Ch. 106) station.
