Hey, this is Chad Dahlstrom, CEO of Discogs.

Happy to be part of Vinyl Guide today and answering your questions about Discogs as best I can.

Well, hey, everyone, welcome to this week's episode of The Final Guide,

the podcast for fans and collectors of vinyl records.

And this week, we are speaking with Discog's CEO and Chief Muk-Muck-Dimuck, Chaddahlstrom.

Chad is leading the team at Discogs, an online service which most of us use and reference

frequently in our music collections.

Today, Chad is going to share with us the Discog strategy, the goals they have, the challenges

they get, and what they're looking to achieve in the coming years for us record and music nerds. And this week's

episode is brought to you in part by groove washer.com. The groove washer is the best

manual record cleaner I've ever used. I consider myself a record hobbyist and I don't have

thousands of dollars or the space for one of those really costly record cleaning machines. If you're in the

same boat, check out the groove washer record cleaning kit at groove washer.com. It cleans records

so they sound brilliant at a fraction of a fraction of the cost of a record cleaning machine. Also,

pick up their stylus cleaning brush. The clean stylus is very important

to good sound. So again, head over to groove washer.com now and get your kit today. And with that,

let's start today's conversation with Chad Dahlstrom, CEO of Discogs. 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,
