The Mezzanine Record Fair was an amazing time, and TRS caught up with one of the record vendors who has a tremendous record collection and a great contextual knowledge of all elements (or genres) in black music. Check out this really cool chat between TRS host Leon and Mr. Dan Byrd. Mr. Byrd will be returning to the show for part 2 of the TRS Collector Conversations series.

Long ago (April 2023, sometime), TRS sat down with Elijah Easton, one of DC's best saxophone players to talk about a little bit of everything. Sadly, the interview was nearly ruined by technology (tricknology) and was shelved for almost a year. After a little downtime, Leon worked tirelessly to recover what he could and bring it to the Record Spinners. Check it out!
