This podcast has been a long time in the making! Our original plan was to post the full audio from our live events and use that as the ‘podcast,’ but we realized quickly that it is tough to listen to over an hour of something that is tailored for a live experience. Instead, we are curating the stories and packaging them into their own episodes. We’ll release our next episode in a matter of days, so you won’t want to miss out on that, and all the upcoming goodness. Subscribe now on iTunes or Stitcher!

The first story we want to pull down from the shelf for you was recorded at our live event in April 2015 at the Bernal Heights Library in San Francisco. Todd Inoue has been a music journalist for many years, writing for publications like VIBE Magazine, Tower Records’ Pulse! Magazine, The San Jose Mercury, and many more. In this story, he shares how being introduced to one, mind-blowing song can alter your life’s trajectory.

In this episode, a young, a young, ghost investigator decodes a message, goes to an address, and gets a random record for a dollar. Fittingly, this story was recorded on October 28th, 2015 at the Bernal Heights Library in San Francisco, just days away from Halloween. Today’s storyteller is Fashion Designer Lia Wesp.

Phonographic Memory is a storytelling project dedicated to examining and celebrating the human experience as framed by vinyl records. Each month, people share a personal story about a specific record, and then play a song from it on our turntable. This bi-monthly podcast highlights some of our favorite stories and songs along with in-depth interviews with DJs and record collectors.
