Shaun Squad Society
The Shaun Squad Society Podcast is a podcast written, produced and hosted by three women who want to keep the Magic of a Midnight Sky alive!
Cindy, Dorese and Dame became friends at a Shaun Cassidy concert and immediately decided to form "The Shaun Squad." Soon after, the Shaun Squad Society Podcast was conceived to discuss and reminisce about all-things Shaun Cassidy, from his first years as a teen idol to his current career as a writer and producer.
This podcast brings together a community of Shaun's devoted fans, the ones who played his albums non-stop, and who tuned into The Hardy Boys Mysteries every Sunday evening. And now, 46 years later, Shaun's story-telling tour has delighted fans again. So, join us for the stories, fun-facts, and fascinating interviews as we take you down memory lane with our Teen Dream, Shaun Cassidy.

Eric Carmen: The Man Behind Shaun's Hits
Embark on a melodious journey where we celebrate the musical mastery of Eric Carmen and the echoes of his influence on heartthrob Shaun Cassidy. Strap on your nostalgia goggles as we share fascinating tidbits about Carmen's classical roots that blossomed into a rock sensation with the Raspberries, and chuckle over the misheard lyrics of "Go All the Way". We'll pull back the curtain on his role in penning the soundtrack anthem "Hungry Eyes," and how his artistry shaped the hits that made Cassidy a household name.
As the needle drops on this episode, get ready to sway to the rhythm of Carmen's captivating hits from the '70s and dissect the genius behind the power ballads that still tug at our heartstrings. Revisit the infectious "She Did It" while uncovering how his music weaves in homage to legends like the Beach Boys and Hall & Oates, proving his prowess as a songwriter. Revel in the tales of Carmen's impact on the music industry, as we marvel at his absence from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and discuss his broader influence including country music, cinema, and even the Olympics.
Finally, take a seat alongside us as we zoom in on personal stories, like a photographer's mission to immortalize Carmen in the perfect portrait, and reflect on his stirring live performances and songwriting collaborations. With an episode brimming with anecdotes and insights, join us in paying tribute to the lasting legacy of Eric Carmen, whose melodies continue to shape our musical landscape.
