Ep. 36: Caren Kelleher on Gold Rush Vinyl; Austin's Weird Homes Tour

This week, we welcome Caren Kelleher, the owner of Austin’s Gold Rush Vinyl, a manufacturer that’s modernizing the making of record albums. Kelleher, who used to work at Google while managing bands, has just launched Austin’s only large-scale vinyl album production facility, but in the episode, she explains why this seemingly retro technology is so appealing to consumers right now. ALSO: David and Chelle Neff, the authors of "Weird Homes: The People and Places That Keep Austin Strangely Wonderful" and the organizers of the upcoming Weird Homes Tour joined Tolly and Omar to talk about what makes a home weird in the first place and why these homeowners are the keepers of a big part of Austin's cultural identity. Their self-paced driving tour returns on April 21. Pickle-loving baseball fans will have a hard time resisting one of the new dishes at the Texas Rangers stadium this year: Dilly Dogs, a hot dog stuffed inside a pickle and fried like a corn dog.
