Episode 61 - Industry Takes: On the Record

We’re back from our summer break and diving straight into our thoughts on vinyl news of now.  While we may have recorded this in late July, the news is still relevant and ever evolving. In this  episode we chat sustainability updates and the industry’s carbon footprint in steak sizes, the growing movement to cancel Spotify and AIs impact on what we're listening to; as well as Gen Z’s evolving relationship with vinyl and careers in the pressing ecosystem, plus the ever-shifting tariff drama that continues to impact physical media. Join us as we unpack what these changes mean in our own words.  Check out:VRMA / Vinyl Alliance Carbon Footprint Report: https://vinylalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/First-Carbon-Footprint-report_VRMA_VA_30-May-2024_final.pdfTop Music Attorney: https://www.instagram.com/topmusicattorney/ Velvet Sundown Explained: https://www.berklee.edu/berklee-now/news/velvet-sundown-ai-band-controversySoundcloud Vinyl: https://partner.soundcloud.com/elasticstageRecent Tariff Update: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/vinyl-records-and-cds-spared-from-new-us-import-tariffs/Vinyl Me Please Updates: https://variety.com/2025/music/news/vinyl-me-please-acquired-owners-restore-record-subscription-1236416655/**Note: We apologize that Jenn's audio has some clipping.
