Episode Five - Caren Kelleher, Gold Rush Vinyl

In this episode, Jenn and Robyn are joined by Caren Kelleher, who turned in her Silicon Valley street cred for the wild world of record pressing in Austin, Texas. Caren walks the walk of the Women in Vinyl mission, and we couldn’t be more excited to share her story, wisdom and constant forward thinking. We discuss weird records, rock boxes full of ticket stubs, cancelled first dates, the pandemic and it’s ramifications through all of our spaces, weather systems in Canada and how raccoons might be the missing engineering piece in every factory. The team at Gold Rush is doing incredible things, and are always looking to see how they can improve their artist experience, truly changing the game in vinyl and leading the way in equitable employment too. https://www.goldrushvinyl.com/Thanks as always to Arc Of All for our intro and outro musicAnd thank you to the incredible Liv Mueller for the use of her song Romeo.The Women in Vinyl Store is live too! https://womeninvinyl.com/store/As always, join the conversations on Instagram or send us a note at [email protected] out www.womeninvinyl.com for past episodes and the amazing archive of interviews.
