10 Reasons Why You Should Do Vinyl...

In this episode, we explore 10 real reasons why indie artists and record labels should seriously consider pressing vinyl records — even in a world dominated by streaming. Presented by HELLBENDER VINYL [http://geni.us/hellbender] www.hellbendervinyl.com [http://www.hellbendervinyl.com]   From stronger profit margins and long-tail inventory to legitimacy, fandom, and discovering new audiences, vinyl continues to prove itself as more than nostalgia. Scott shares observations from record stores, indie labels, younger music fans, resale culture, and his own experiences releasing records independently. Why are teenagers lining up at 4am for Record Store Day? Why are used records suddenly worth real money again? And why does vinyl feel more culturally important now than it did 10 years ago?   We are supported by Squarespace.

The Return of the CD

If you’re an artist or running a label, is CD actually the smartest physical format right now? If you’re a fan, is it worth collecting, or just nostalgia? We’re digging into the real pros and cons on both sides—no hype, no nostalgia bias. Because this isn’t just about a format… It’s about understanding where the next opportunity might be hiding.

We All Speak in Poems - (Record Label Interview)

In this episode, I sit down with Brady (Alaskan Tapes), the artist and mind behind We All Speak In Poems—a project that exists somewhere between a label, a creative platform, and a philosophy. PRESENTED BY HELLBENDER VINYL - www.hellbendervinyl.com [http://www.hellbendervinyl.com]   We talk about the quiet power of ambient music, building a world around your art, and what it really means to create without chasing numbers. Brady shares how his journey evolved from early experimentation to a more intentional, emotionally-driven practice—and how that same mindset shapes the artists and releases he supports. This conversation goes deep into independence, creative identity, and the tension between art and algorithms. If you’re running a label, releasing music, or just trying to stay grounded in your creativity… this one’s for you.   Supported by Infinite Catalog - http://infinitecatalog.com/otherrecordlabels [http://infinitecatalog.com/otherrecordlabels]   Learn more about We All Speak in Poems: http://weallspeakinpoems.com [http://weallspeakinpoems.com]
