About this listen

What does it actually look like to take over a legendary indie label?

In this episode, I sit down with Emmy Black, the new owner of Bar/None Records—a label with nearly 40 years of history and a roster that helped launch artists like They Might Be Giants and Yo La Tengo.

PRESENTED BY LANDR - get.landr.com/otherrecordlabels

We talk about what it means to inherit a legacy, how to modernize an indie label without losing its identity, and the real, behind-the-scenes work of running a record label in 2026.

This is a conversation about stewardship, taste, relationships, and the long game of building something that lasts.

If you’re running (or dreaming of running) a record label, this episode is essential listening.
