There is a lot of scratchy vinyl and much to enjoy on this latest program, which is the first non-special edition podcast in quite some time. Enjoy!

Note: In the podcast, I neglect to mention that "Sunny-Side Up" is a duo between Christian Marclay and Gunter Muller. Very bad form. Consider yourself fully informed now.
