Hey everyone, this is Nate. Thanks for tuning in to this episode of the Vinyl Guide podcast.

This week, we are sharing an interview that I recently did with Bob Leffsets during the Australian

Music Week Conference in Cronulla, which is just south of Sydney, Australia.

The Australian Music Week Conference is a five-day event.

Bob was the host, he was the keynote,

and the moderator for lots of the great sessions that they had as part of Australian Music Week.

And this recording that you're about to hear is a session that he and I did together and was the only time in which he was the one being interviewed.

Now, for those of you who are just getting familiar with Bob Lefsetz, he's an extremely well-known

and well-connected music industry insider, he's an entertainment attorney, very prolific

media critic, and author of the Lefset's Letter and podcast.

I highly recommend going to Lefsetets.com and signing up for the

lefts letter, which is a free email, comes out a few times each week, and is always a great read.

Now, just so you know, Bob doesn't do a ton of interviews. He normally uses his letter and his

podcast to let people know what he's thinking on a given topic.

So it was really quite an honor for the Australian Music Week organizers to invite me to do this interview in front of a live audience.

Now today, as you're going to hear, Bob shares his thoughts and pulls no punches.

And that's exactly the way we like our left sets.
