    Episode 60 - Record Store Real Talk with Amanda Schutzman
    Apr 9 2025
    We’re back with everyone's favorite band tee collector, Amanda Schutzman, to talk all things Record Store Day—including insider tips for this year’s event and how to stop the flippers. Amanda’s been your go-to for all things vinyl her whole life—if she doesn’t know the answer, you’re probably asking something that isn’t record-related. A former Women in Vinyl board member and current volunteer, Amanda has been a guiding light for countless record stores through her work with All Media Supply. Her passion for music runs deep, from curating record-centric trips and crafting city-specific vinyl maps to organizing Long Island’s Vinyl Revolution Record Show. And her 12" single collection? It’s legendary. We love her, you love her—let’s dive in! And P.S.—this one’s for the Peanut!

    This Women’s History Month, we’re joined by Alexandria Sade—founder of Black Girls Love Vinyl (BGLV), a community platform dedicated to celebrating Black women's connection to vinyl and cultural preservation in music and the arts. From her St. Louis roots to her work in music supervision for major network sitcoms, Alexandria’s journey is as eclectic as her record collection. Tune in as we discuss her path, BGLV’s impact, and how she's amplifying Black women’s voices in the analogue space.
