The Vinyl Tone
A Podcast about the Best Music from Yesteryear In this podcast, I seek to escape to a time when the music that came out was creative, original, and fun to listen to. Furthermore, my podcast is about the best record albums, and the people that collect them. I talk to people who are music fans, just like me, that can give their own take or insight on a particular topic related to good music.
