Episode Nine - Lisa Foster, Guestroom Records

In between the RSD drops for 2021, we’re able to grab some time with our friend Lisa Foster, of Guestroom Records in Louisville, KY. A former communications and intersection of music and culture professor who made the pivot into the wild world of record store ownership. We talk everything from the pandemic, collections, misogyny, misconception, and the 2%, to why we actually appreciate the Crosley turntable and how humanity actually saved the record store.Find Guestroom here: http://www.guestroomrecords.com/And read Lisa's Women in Vinyl blog post right at the height of the pandemic at: https://womeninvinyl.com/2020/04/18/lisa-foster-guestroom-recordsCheck out Lisa’s music recommendation here for Juana Molina: https://juanamolina.com/https://juanamolina.bandcamp.com/album/anrmalHuge thank you to our friends from Laybare Recordings, and Rosy Finch for the use of their song Black LodgeROSY FINCHhttps://www.rosyfinchband.com/https://rosyfinch.bandcamp.com/album/scarletLAYBARE RECORDINGShttps://laybarerecordings.com/This episode was produced by Women in Vinyl!Check out www.womeninvinyl.com for past episodes and the amazing archive of interviews. The Women in Vinyl Store is full of incredible things, including WiV branded GrooveWasher care kits, t-shirts, enamel pins and slip mats! https://womeninvinyl.com/store/If you want to start your own vinyl career, you can check out the Job Board:  https://womeninvinyl.com/job-board/As always, join the conversations on Instagram or send us a note at [email protected]’t forget to like, subscribe and give us a review on your favorite podcast delivery method!You can also contribute to furthering our mission at: https://www.patreon.com/womeninvinylWhere you’ll find all of the B-Sides, Deep Cuts and amazing extras, and help us start a not for profit to further the demystification, education and infiltration of more Women and Non-Binary identifying humans into the Vinyl Making Space!
