  • S3, Ep. 5 Jonathan Venlet, What Makes a Great DJ Set
    Aug 8 2023

    We've got a fun episode today! We sat down with our new friend and owner of Part Time Records, Jonathan Venlet. Jonathan DJ's frequently, so we thought it would fun to sit down with Jonathan and discuss what makes a great DJ set. Spoiler alert....we go round robin at the end to create the ultimate DJ set. You can give that a listen here with our Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7Eoyv5zyvLhPFTUZ5uaHQL?si=cyeaPoHZRLOxpDhCFujBIQ&nd=1

    Also, we will be taking a mid season break and returning with 5 more episodes in the fall. Admittedly, it's been a crazy summer and we need to take some time to get these last 5 episodes right. We appreciate you all for listening!

  • S3, Ep. 2 Ben Froese, Record Store Exploration/What’s In Your Bag
    Jul 11 2023

    Strap in! This is a fun one. We've got our great friend and guitar extraordinaire, Ben Froese, in the hot seat! We intended for this to be a bonus episode last year, but we figured we would do this episode justice and release it properly.

    This episode was recorded on a very late night in Chicago, after a long day of record shopping. We sat down and discussed our method of choosing a record to buy and we talk about some of the records we bought that day. Hope ya'll enjoy this very loose episode. ✌️
