In this episode we sat down with a couple of collectors and friends, Carol and Matthew, whom you may recognize better as @carolsvinyl and @harma808 on Instagram. We talk about the vinyl community that has emerged over the years on social media, how it has created strong bonds between music and record lovers, but has also come with its own set of diversity and inclusion issues. It's Women's History Month, so what better time to talk about the vinyl community then now.
