WHO AM I AND WHY THIS PODCAST

I’m Twila Dang – Founder and CEO of Matriarch Digital Media. I’m also a lifelong boy band fan and professional podcaster. And now I’m combining two things I love to create my absolute dream project… a BOY BAND podcast! 

This is a podcast about BOY BANDS: Their hold on pop culture and why we can’t get enough of them. Boy Band Babylon is about more than just the music. It’s a journey through the captivating world of boybands, exploring their rise to stardom, their wild adventures, and everything in between. We’re talking heartthrobs, harmonies, and haircuts that defined an era! Trust me, it’s going to be a rollercoaster ride of nostalgia.
