    Episode 54 - Sandy Perez, Revuelta Vinyl Club
    Sep 18 2024
    In this episode, we continue our journey from a virtual layover and head to South America. We caught up with Sandy Perez in Argentina just before her show. By day, Sandy is a graphic art director; by night, she's a vinyl selector. She’s also the founder of the Revuleta Vinyl Club, a collective dedicated to supporting and empowering women through workshops that keep vinyl culture alive. With a similar mission at heart, we discuss with Sandy how the vinyl market varies across borders, her experiences running her femme collective, her favorite records to spin, and more.

  • Episode 53 - Dr. Rene Wiedner, University of Warwick

    Episode 53 - Dr. Rene Wiedner, University of Warwick
    Jul 17 2024
    As Henry Rollins says, “knowledge without mileage, is B.S.” and so we’re pausing our world tour to have a more academic conversation with Dr Rene Wiedner.

    Dr Wiedner is an associate professor of organization theory, at the University of Warwick - Coventry, and has been studying developments in vinyl record manufacturing for some time, with a particular interest in what happened between 1990 and 2015, a time when vinyl records were considered obsolete, and before the recent ‘vinyl revival’. He is currently writing an academic paper and a book on the topic, and joins us to discuss the importance of craft. And why we should be concerned with the preservation of skill, sharing knowledge, and how we learn and share manual skills.
    Here at Women in Vinyl, we are focused on creating educational opportunities and paving roads to jobs using that education.

  • Episode 52 - Joe K, Owner HoldFast Records

    Episode 52 - Joe K, Owner HoldFast Records
    Jun 12 2024
    All aboard! This week we head to Jamaica by way of Asbury Park New Jersey, joined by our friend and guide Joe K. Not only is he a great story teller, but the founder and owner of HoldFast Records.

    We learn how Joe and his wife got started in the industry, the production work he cut his teeth on that gave him the tough skin, yet love for community that he takes with him on his trips to Jamaica. Joe has spent years cultivating relationships in Kingston, away from the safety of the resorts. While not for the faint of heart, with a tumultuous religious and government history, there is also such an important thoroughline of vinyl and music one which people would ‘climb the pole’ for. During these trips he’s met people who have created and built the reggae foundation we all know and love.

She also stocks and sells turntables and other gear, and isn’t afraid to go toe to toe with any Uncle that might challenge her!
