Episode 36 - John Chuldenko, The Secret White House Record Collection

In the first episode of 2023, Jenn and Robyn are joined by a really fun and exciting guest, writer, director, producer, and vinyl nerd John Chuldenko. John is the grandson of US President Jimmy Carter and became the vinyl Indiana Jones when he found a secret White House record collection. In this episode we explore how he found it, what's in it, what we think should be in it, how they were curated and stored, the first record he played from the collection, and what he intends to do now that they’re found!
