MOST Controversial Halftime Shows?

Send us a textOn this special episode of the Riffs n Rhythms Podcast, we throw the usual format out the window and tackle one of the biggest music stages on the planet—the Super Bowl Halftime Show.From its humble beginnings with marching bands to iconic performances by legends like Prince and Michael Jackson, and all the controversy in between, we break down how the halftime show became a global pop-culture event. We talk about unforgettable moments, infamous mishaps, industry politics, marketing power plays, and why performing the halftime show might be the most high-pressure gig in music.We also dig into why artists don’t get paid to perform, how production teams pull off a full concert in minutes, and what this year’s halftime debate says about music, audiences, and culture today.It’s funny, opinionated, nostalgic, and just a little unhinged—exactly what happens when musicians start talking football without actually talking football.🎧 Available wherever you get your podcasts 🍻 New episodes weekly 💥 Support the show on Patreon starting at $3/monthThanks for listening to Riffs n Rhythms.
