Close Enough for Jazz episodes

  • Introducing Birch Grove Media - Sovereignty, Vinyl, and 180 Grams of Jazz

    In the debut episode, founders Alan and Lindsay discuss why they decided to "choose themselves" and launch Birch Grove Media. They break down the importance of physical media, the roles of a creative director versus a label manager, and why their podcast won't sound like your typical "soothing" NPR jazz show.
