The Vinyl Guide is a weekly podcast for fans and collectors of vinyl records. Each week is an audio-documentary on your favourite records, often including interviews with band members and people who were part of the project.
It’s hosted by Nate Goyer, a self-described vinyl maniac who enjoys listening to records and sharing the stories behind them. Despite his Yankee accent, Nate lives in Sydney, Australia with his wife, 2 kids, and about 1,500 records. (But only about 1,000 of them his wife knows about.)
The Vinyl Guide takes records one by one, telling the tale of how they came to be, why the work is important, and then shares how collectors can tell one pressing from another. Learn more at the TheVinylGuide.com or simply subscribe via iTunes or RSS feed.
You’ve seen them at yard sales, you’ve noticed them in second hand shops, you may have actually owned or listened to them in the past, but do you know the history of the 8 track tape? It’s pretty fascinating and it’s thanks to innovators and businessmen like Earl “Madman” Muntz and Bill Lear who started the personal music craze. Hear the story along with some secrets various artists hid within the tracks of the 8 track tapes!
