Kristin Robinson:<\/strong><\/p>\n

What does it take to book a Super Bowl halftime show? Every year, superstar talent has taken the stage during the 30 minute break in the middle of the big game, and it\u2019s seen as the crowning achievement in an artist\u2019s career. And every year, it feels like the spectacle seems to get bigger and better than ever. So in this special episode of the podcast, we\u2019ll be talking about all things music in the Super Bowl, from the planning of the halftime show to getting music placed in the biggest ads of the entire year. Bozoma Saint John, thank you so much for coming to On the Record. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Bozoma Saint John:<\/p>\n

Yay!<\/p>\n

How are you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m great. I\u2019m really good.<\/p>\n

Well, thank you for coming, because this is our very special Super Bowl episode, and I felt like you were the perfect person to ask, because it\u2019s widely reported that you\u2019re one of the people who convinced Beyonce to do the Super Bowl halftime show once upon a time. And on top of that, you\u2019ve worked at so many different iconic brands who have had ties to the Super Bowl in some way or another. Over time, you\u2019ve worked at Pepsi, Uber, Apple Music, Beats, Endeavor, etc, etc, etc. So thanks for coming and doing this.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, this is so exciting. I mean, first of all, I love sports and I love music, and so it\u2019s like the perfect, like, combination of those two things, yeah.<\/p>\n

And I feel like recently, like at Billboard, my coworkers and I have been leaning more into covering the intersection of sports and music because I feel like it only increases over time. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, yes. <\/p>\n

But that\u2019s actually one thing that I wanted to talk to you about before we get into Super Bowl stuff. I mean, you worked at Beats, and when I think of a company that did the sports and music thing, right, I think of Beats. <\/strong><\/p>\n
