The Women in Vinyl Podcast

We're back with everyone's favorite band tee collector, Amanda Schutzman, to talk all things Record Store Day—including insider tips for this year's event and how to stop the flippers. Amanda's been your go-to for all things vinyl her whole life—if she doesn't know the answer, you're probably asking something that isn't record-related. A former Women in Vinyl board member and current volunteer, Amanda has been a guiding light for countless record stores through her work with All Media Supply. Her passion for music runs deep, from curating record-centric trips and crafting city-specific vinyl maps to organizing Long Island's Vinyl Revolution Record Show. And her 12" single collection? It's legendary. We love her, you love her—let's dive in!

By day, Sandy is a graphic art director; by night, she's a vinyl selector. She's also the founder of the Revuleta Vinyl Club, a collective dedicated to supporting and empowering women through workshops that keep vinyl culture alive.

As Henry Rollins says, “knowledge without mileage, is B.S.” and so we're pausing our world tour to have a more academic conversation with Dr Rene Wiedner. Dr Wiedner is an associate professor of organization theory, at the University of Warwick - Coventry, and has been studying developments in vinyl record manufacturing for some time, with a particular interest in what happened between 1990 and 2015, a time when vinyl records were considered obsolete, and before the recent ‘vinyl revival'. He is currently writing an academic paper and a book on the topic, and joins us to discuss the importance of craft. And why we should be concerned with the preservation of skill, sharing knowledge, and how we learn and share manual skills.Here at Women in Vinyl, we are focused on creating educational opportunities and paving roads to jobs using that education. Check out:Dr Wiedner's research here: https://craftresearch.org/Read more:  https://www.wbs.ac.uk/about/person/rene-wiednerThe WBS Process and Practice Research Programme: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/wbs/research/ppi/ Thank you to gia.llo and indie label Patiotic Records for the use of the song ‘Goa'.  The song is featured on the album ‘We Are LoFi Vol 2' by the label.

All aboard! This week we head to Jamaica by way of Asbury Park New Jersey, joined by our friend and guide Joe K. Not only is he a great story teller, but the founder and owner of HoldFast Records. We learn how Joe and his wife got started in the industry, the production work he cut his teeth on that gave him the tough skin, yet love for community that he takes with him on his trips to Jamaica. Joe has spent years cultivating relationships in Kingston, away from the safety of the resorts. While not for the faint of heart, with a tumultuous religious and government history, there is also such an important thoroughline of vinyl and music one which people would ‘climb the pole' for. During these trips he's met people who have created and built the reggae foundation we all know and love.

We sat down with Women in Vinyl Advisory Board member, educator, author and researcher Dr Veronica Skrimsjö to discuss what she has uncovered on the topic, why certain generalizations and stereotypes happen and what we can do to break them down.

Learn more about their innovation in record pressing, where things stand now, and ways in which we can help advance a more eco-friendly product that we all will still enjoy in the same way for years to come.

On this episode are excited to have conversation with Sara Pette and Alex Stillman co-owners of Outta Wax, a pressing plant and lathe cut studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Founded in the spring of 2020 we discuss the ups, downs and reality of starting a record pressing plant. The Outta Wax team are simply put - record nerds - who came together to open a factory whose primary purpose is to uplift and celebrate local and independent artists who kept the record industry alive through the decades - especially within their community. We enjoyed discussing the other side of the coin with a newer plant's journey after hearing about United's long standing place in our industry last month. Huge thanks to Stefani Sikora, singer, songwriter and performer for the use of her song ‘Good Days Are Coming' off her new record The Shine.

In the first episode of 2023, Jenn and Robyn are joined by a really fun and exciting guest, writer, director, producer, and vinyl nerd John Chuldenko. John is the grandson of US President Jimmy Carter and became the vinyl Indiana Jones when he found a secret White House record collection. In this episode we explore how he found it, what's in it, what we think should be in it, how they were curated and stored, the first record he played from the collection, and what he intends to do now that they're found!

In this episode we're joined by Deb Sonzo the New Business Acquisitions and Accounts Manager at Music Graphics Chicago a division of Leo Graphics Chicago. With a background in art, and a musician herself, Deb is on the front lines of getting art proofed, printed and to your favorite record pressing plant to assemble the project. From short runs to thousands of copies, they're perfecting the digitally printed record jacket one unit at a time. We're also joined by a pop-in guest Jamie Riani who is the owner of the company, and has tons of experience in print houses over the course of his career. This episode dispels some of the confusion around dpi, PMS, RGB, CMYK, and any other design acronym you can come up with along with why templates and proofreading are so important. This is one of our last episodes of the year and 2022 season, so we want to take a moment to thank you again for spending your time with us, learning and demystifying the vinyl community.

In this episode, we are joined by the incredible Allison Wolfe, better known as one of the founders of the Riot Grrrl movement. Allison is one of the realest OGs in the #womeninvinyl canon of heroes.

Allison has fronted numerous influential bands like Bratmobile, published ‘zines, released banger records, founded Ladyfest, completed a Masters in Specialized Journalism, toured the world, started a podcast “I'm in the Band”, contributed articles to numerous publications, passages in books, and continues to inspire and speak her mind. All the while, she's still checking out rad shows and keeping her fingers on the pulse of what's what.

We're joined by a sort of legend in the community, Mike Dixon who lives and breathes vinyl recordings. He runs multiple successful vinyl companies based on his longtime love of education, records, outsider art, and repurposing junk into handmade art pieces. If you tuned into our episode with Bailey Moses of Hocus Bogus (Episode 26) you heard us talk about the man, the myth, the lathe-enabler Mike Dixon, without whom all the lost lathe children would be a lot more lost; and Robyn wouldn't be lathe cutting at all! Mike joins us in the midst of globe trotting. Constantly on the road, installing, cutting and generally being a global lathe ambassador. If you've thought of making a record out of something, Mike has tried it. His lathe cutting camps, where you can go to the legendary lathe cave, to try your hand at it before you go all in sell out almost as soon as they are announced, so if you're keen, keep an eye on these spaces for the next one! https://www.michaeldixonvinylart.com/https://www.recordlatheparts.com/pages/about-usRecord Lathe Parts: https://www.recordlatheparts.com/Lathe Cut Camp: https://piaptk.limitedrun.com/products/705650 Thank you to DJ and beat maker Ray Blevins, board member and our fantastic podcast editor, for the use of his track “Pita Thief”!

In this episode Jenn and Robyn talk with Justin Perkins, owner of Mystery Room Mastering out of Milwaukee Wisconsin to discuss his white paper, a manifesto of sorts, on navigating the vinyl manufacturing process. In the last 20+ years he's mastered over a thousand albums that have been released on vinyl, including the recent 25th anniversary edition of En Vogue's ‘Funky Divas' and The Replacements, ‘Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash'. Each vinyl project can be a learning experience to some degree; and we've all been there command + c'ing and command + v'ing on that one good email response you sent, over and over. Justin's white paper on vinyl recommendations covers all those emails we send day in and day out, and together we discuss. Be sure to join in on sharing the tools, giving the right information, and continuing to press more vinyl!

We're joined by our friend and record maven Amanda Schutzman to continue our discussion around collecting. From growing up around records to working in record stores like Needle and Groove, and Generation Records to being the Co-Organizer of the Vinyl Revolution Record Show, and her day job at All Media Supply she literally does it all. Amanda joined us as our very first podcast guest, so we thought after passing our one year mark, it would be fun to have her back to talk more in depth about the thing she knows the ins and outs of like no other - buying, selling, and grading records. What is Near Mint really? How do you differentiate between VG, VG+ and just plain G? Grab a record, open up your Discogs and break out those magnifying glasses, let's get to grading! Trust us, this episode is still sealed, and will retain its inherent value for years to come. *Note: we will be taking a summer podcast break starting in June and back in September. We hope you spend this time catching up on previous episodes. In the meantime, find us on social media, patreon, or email to keep in touch and suggest topics you want to learn more about!

It's the age old question, how do you organize your records? These days the answer may just be, “Discogs!” You know them, you love them, and maybe like us have an unhealthy addiction to admiring your own collection in person, but also on your phone. Discogs has been called the record collector's hybrid of Wikipedia and eBay, as it is a one stop shop for all things information and marketplace. Truly a collector's paradise. They also have a handy trove of articles and resources about all things physical format. On this episode Jenn and Robyn are joined by Jeffrey Smith, the Communications and Partnerships manager at Discogs! Before that he was founder and principal publicist for thirteen years at Crash Avenue, a boutique music public relations firm. Jeffrey takes us into the source code of Discogs to learn the ins and outs, the things that we find challenging, and the places they're going. Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/https://blog.discogs.com/en/discogs-101/A great big thank you to our friend Mandy Morgan owner of Nadine Records, and Portland, Oregon's Dark Numbers for the use of their song ‘Middle Night' off the album ‘If It Was It Would Be So', a blend of sounds and genres, the record's eight songs blend heavy riffs, and spacey atmospheres. Nadine Records is our music partner for the next few episodes, a primarily vinyl based record label that showcases a variety of unique artists and bands from the Pacific Northwest.

One of the goals of this podcast is to ask and answer the tough questions about vinyl and about gender. In this episode Karlyn King, lecturer, popular music academic, and researcher who teaches all over the UK helps us to do just that in this informative and validating conversation. Karlyn is currently working on a PhD at the University of Birmingham exploring the enduring format of vinyl. She is a regular panel speaker and conference presenter on all things vinyl, and has been researching and collecting actual data on unconscious bias and the ways of dealing with stereotype threats, including psychological or physical avoidance, where women will distance themselves from environments or situations where this threat may be experienced and what discourages women from audio technology, records stores and DJ culture, and reinforces minority status. If you're like us you've often wondered why there is such a different collector culture between men and women when it comes to vinyl, Karyln's chapter in The Routledge Handbook of Women's Work in Music really breaks down the reasons this may be and now joins us to delve further into the how's and why's and wtf moments that we've all experienced.

In our first interview episode of the year, we're joined by the amazing Stephen Coates, who has been researching, documenting and sharing the history of our favorite oddities in the record world, X-Ray Records. He is a music arts producer and archeologist of forgotten stories. We were lucky to be able to carve out some time with Stephen, live from the wilds of Northern Scotland, to learn more about these special and historical pieces. We talk about our connection with music, how it is viewed from one country to another, felt between cultures and classes, and how the simple act of hearing your own voice can be transformative. Be sure to order his new book ‘Bone Music', the follow up to his first publication on the subject ‘X-Ray Audio'.

On this episode, Jenn and Robyn are joined by industry legend Jeri Heiden, co-owner of Smog Design who has been the artistic visionary behind some of your (and our) favorite imagery gracing the covers of record jackets, cassette J-cards, CD packages and box sets. Madonna, and Fleetwood Mac, to Dio, Van Halen and more she's worked to conceptualize the albums of so many musical legends. From moving across the country, leaving art school, getting a job at Warner Brothers (in the most perfect way we've ever heard), to trying to figure out how to incorporate patchouli into an album, Jeri has done it all.

On this episode Jenn and Robyn track down a vinyl unicorn, Brianna Orozco, Press Operator and Supervisor at Memphis Record Pressing. Get ready to smash some plastic, and get right into the actual nuts and bolts, or stampers and moulds, of record pressing. We talk about center labels, stampers, PVC, vinyl weight, quality control and everything in between. Brianna has done almost every job at the pressing plant and is a glowing example of loving your job, and why job love truly equals record love.
