This week Finlay flies solo in the Frejz Thinking podcast. Regular listeners will know Finlay and Ron's passion for music but this week Finlay considers not what we listen to or why we listen but how we listen. He contemplates how he's gone full circle from vinyl to cassette to CD, MP3 and streaming and is now back to vinyl.
