Do you listen to and collect vinyl records? Well, you're in luck. Welcome to The Vinyl Guide, the podcast made for record nerds like yourself. Here's your host, the biggest record nerd of them all, Nate Goyer.

Hey, hey, hey, everyone, it's Nate with yet another episode of The Vinyl Guide, the podcast where we get together and talk about vinyl and records and turntables and spinning objects

and all that sort of thing. Look, you'll have to forgive me this week. My voice is a bit rough.

I'm just getting over a big cold. I just got back from Los Angeles after almost a month-long

vinyl road trip. I talked about it in the last episode,

and we had an interview with a renowned record collector,

record dealer, Mike Vague.

And yeah, he's just spent several weeks traveling around Los Angeles

and into San Diego, the whole Southern California area,

looking up some of my

favorite record stores, talking to people who work within them and really kind of building

these profiles, which I'm going to share here on the Vinyl Guide episode over the coming weeks.

Now, as I said, I was in Los Angeles for about four weeks, and I landed on Sunday, and I think it was just

the exhaustion and the weather change and being in an airplane for 15 hours. It just all kind of

caught up to me, and I pretty much collapsed on Monday after doing the podcast. So I'm back in action

now. I've been able to drink enough NyQuil and, you know, make it through the day.

And so hopefully in today's episode, I won't be too flemy for you guys. And I'll do my best not to

get you sick. Anyway, today's episode going to be going through some listener email. Always

want to thank everyone for participating and sending notes and messages and that sort of thing.

I can't always

respond to all the messages that come in. There are quite a few, as you can imagine, so I do it

when I can, and I'll definitely address some of the questions and conversation points on the show,
