In episode 22, Noel goes at audiophiles and turntable elitists who discourage new collectors by saying that record players and inexpensive turntables ruin records and fail to deliver decent sound quality. He also gives some general updates, a brief recap of his review of HR Records, and of course, offers listeners a long-awaited vinyl recommendation.

Noel then discusses a trend of reissues that he believes has some good and bad consequences for collectors and black music fans. Lastly, Noel highlights how to spot an original release versus a reissue in the getting technical segment.
