Summary

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating resurgence of vinyl and its surprising resilience amidst the digital age. We explore the economics of vinyl, the history of the music industry’s evolution, and how formats like CDs and streaming disrupted the landscape. Vinyl, once thought to be on the brink of extinction, has made an extraordinary comeback, and we're here to find out why. From independent record shops keeping the flame alive to the unique cultural experience vinyl provides, we look at how this format has redefined the music experience across generations. We speak with Graham Jones, author of The Vinyl Revival and the Shops That Made It Happen, to get his insight into the ongoing revival. Graham takes us through the vinyl resurgence, Record Store Day, and how independent record stores played a pivotal role in keeping vinyl alive.
