Record Keeping (Episode 50)

For our mid-century episode, We are going to take a bit of departure from the usual. This podcast started as a way to teach ourselves more about music history and to keep on introducing each other to great songs and stories about those songs. Today is an exploration of why we are obsessed with vinyl and what it means to be a record collector. And for this show, we’ve asked some of you to help us narrate the show by telling us about your run-ins with record collecting. We’re going to spend the next hour or so as if we were working at a record store, chatting about the sorts of things we used to spend too much time talking about but now need to make time for. The highlights and lowlights of our prized collection. Vinyl dreams and wax memories. And try to understand the gravitational pull to the black circles. Special thanks to friends and listeners who contributed amazing stories to this Episode: Brian and Brian from the Volcano Vinyl Podcast, Maurice and Tim from the See Hear Podcast, Chris, Abi, Travis, Dennis, Lea, Mathew, Maria, Hannah, and Yetsko. And thanks to everyone who has spent any time listening to the podcast. We hope you’ve learned something new and have had as much fun as We’ve Had in making Highway Hifi.  Subscribe to Highway Hi-Fi: iTunes | Stitcher | TuneIn | PocketCasts | Overcast | Google Play  Twitter | Facebook | Spotify
