This podcast is focused on looking for rekkids and the stores that have those rekkids. For a long time, whenever I travel anywhere (business, personal, to see friends) one of the first things I do is look up the record stores in town. I've even taken a few trips where the sole purpose was hitting up record stores, staying in motels for the evening after a day of flipping through record bins. Whenever I do research for record stores in an area I usually end up relying on some web site done back in 2001 that hasn't been taken down yet and references long-extinct record havens... So I'm going to do my best to talk about record stores all over the U.S., the records in them and whatever else is along the way. Starting with episode 16 I'll be moving to the West Coast, but the podcasts themselves won't change - I've visited a lot of great record stores East of the Mississippi so let's see what the West has to offer.
