The Vinyl Playground Podcast
Cheers - This is Alex - your music man, record guy, host and curator of The Vinyl Playground Podcast.
Here, I take a look at a rather large collection of records, my family's record collection. 12 record collectors under the same roof, and the music we collectively bought between 1936 and 1987.
Originally intended as a personal letter between 2 musical cousins discussing family and music, The Vinyl Playground has bloomed into a "musical family tree" with almost 100 years of recorded music.

The Vinyl Playground Podcast - Ep. 20: Vinyl of The Reconstruction
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When the shelf space was clear, almost 1000 vinyl LPs were donated to Goodwill and Salvation Army, or traded for credit at my favorite record store.
This left a LOT of empty space to fill on my record shelves. Meaning? A trip to the record shop, and 3 new additions to help reconstruct The Vinyl Playground.
Hosted by Alex Oliver (the "music man, record guy, host and curator"), The Vinyl Playground Podcast is equal parts education and "coming of age" stories guided by the host's visits to his local vinyl record store.
For music fans both young and older, music is the softest shoulder. Tune in, and let's discover some music together.
