It’s another week in the dumpster fire, and somehow we’ve got presidential beef with the Pope, a brief identity crisis involving Jesus imagery, and even some conservatives going “uhhh maybe not.” Meanwhile, Ireland is literally grinding to a halt as fuel prices skyrocket past $9/gallon, with farmers and truckers leading massive protests that are disrupting the entire supply chain. You know, just normal global stability things. Then we cleanse our souls (and ears) with something actually joyful: Record Store Day. We’re diving into what it is, why it still matters, and how vinyl made one of the most unexpected comebacks of our lifetime. From exclusive drops to the emotional pull of physical media, we talk about what keeps us coming back—and whether we actually play the records we buy. Plus: first vinyl memories, the struggle of storing your ever-growing collection, and Eric’s truly unhinged saga of “inheriting” 2,500 records and dragging them across the country. If you’re thinking about hitting up Record Store Day for the first time this year, we’ve got tips to help you survive—and maybe even score something good. This week's recommendations: Big Fudge record care system (Pam) and Discogs marketplace for vinyl sales and valuations (Eric). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Laura joins the panel fresh off the heels of her latest MS infusion and answers listener questions about how the infusion works, how her MS is going, and compares your fraying iPhone charging cable to the state of MS-impacted nerves. We also branch into other personal medical stories, including one of us catching a life-changing clause that was sneakily hiding on a surgical consent form. 👀 Learn more about your ad choices.
