Jack White and the Vinyl Revolution

Your turntable's not dead! In fact, for the last 18 years the wax spinning on those turntables have found brand new life in the form of an astonishing vinyl resurgence. This unlikely resuscitation of one of the world's most innovative and beautiful music delivery mechanisms was spearheaded by many key tastemakers for the past several decades, but chief among those tastemakers is without a doubt Mr. Jack White. In this week's episode we're sitting down with record store owner and podcaster Jessi Zilka (Jesse Carl Vinyl and The Porch Podcast, respectively) to walk through the history of the vinyl revolution and its connections to Jack White over the years -- starting with Jack's very first exposure to black wax and continuing on to this very day. While still a small slice of the multi-billion dollar global music industry, the vinyl record's comeback is proof positive that there's hope for truth and beauty in the world for those that appreciate it - and we thank Jack White and Third Man Records for helping bring that truth and beauty back to life!
