With their rare releases, glorious gatefolds and sound that "just sounds better," records are a go-to metaphor for pop culture collecting. But the actual collectors are not as simple to pin down. In VINYL NATION, Christopher Boone and Kevin Smokler get people talking on their varied connections with this very medium. And, all week, they are here to discuss what inspired the documentary as well as what they found in making it. Its a three part, three way podcast spectacular (who's show notes might have benefitted from a little re-writing).

Whoever wrote those didn't go to your school but somehow tapped into exactly how it felt. For podcaster Giulie Speziani (ILLITERATE AGENTS) that common angst came in the form of a voice over by Claire Danes. The character was Angela Chase and what she was relating was all 19 episodes of MY SO-CALLED LIFE.
