Bookmark

The Record Player is a music podcast hosted by Jeff Giles and Matt Wardlaw. It has 144 episodes, with the latest published March 2025.

Shuffling music has its rewards, but there's still nothing like listening to a good old-fashioned album, start to finish — and that's what The Record Player is all about. With every episode, we'll dig into the music of and story behind a single LP, with co-hosts Jeff Giles and Matt Wardlaw ("1991: The Year AOR Ate Itself") and special guests acting as your guides.
