Why would I care about The Grammys?  What the hell is The Recording Academy?  What do they even do?  Vinyl albums are made by little magicians and wizards, right?  It's pure magic and no one knows how it's done, right?

In this episode our good friend, and all around bad-ass, Amy Dragon joins us to discuss these topics and shed some light on these misunderstood subjects.  We talk about attending The Grammys, how they can be important, and discuss the real-world good that The Recording Academy does outside of the awards show, helping musicians with healthcare, education, and networking.  She also explains what she does for a living; vinyl pre-mastering.  She gets a bit technical and explains how a record is made, from mix to final press.

Amy also joins us for some listener emails, some segments, and we don't hear from any Kyles or mention Gwar once.  Join us.
