Disinfect finds acclaimed music journalist Matt Diehl and Giant Step honcho Maurice Bernstein joining forces to air out music’s worst songs – disinfecting stinking sacred cows to the most godawful guilty pleasures.
Matt Diehl
Matt Diehl is a veteran music journalist whose writing appears everywhere from Rolling Stone and SPIN to Pitchfork and The New York Times. He’s also authored numerous books – from investigations into hip-hop crime and punk rock going big business to documenting pop music’s A-list songwriters. His breakthroughs include the first interviews ever published with Eminem and Pharrell to turning a teenage Dave Grohl onto punk rock. Along with Disinfect, Diehl serves as the host and creator of acclaimed interview podcast The End of Radio.

Maurice Bernstein
Maurice Bernstein wears many hats of expertise – from Manchester United obsessive and New York University professor to his role as CEO and co-founder of Giant Step, the award-winning creative agency with clients spanning Levi’s, Intel, and Samsung to W Hotels (for whom Giant Step’s work won a Clio). The core of all of Bernstein’s achievements, however, remains his crate-digging knowledge of music. It’s not for nothing that, throughout Giant Step’s multifaceted history, Bernstein helped launch innovators like Amy Winehouse, Massive Attack, Daft Punk, and Janelle Monae into the pop-cultural consciousness.
