The Women in Vinyl Podcast

For this episode of the Women in Vinyl Podcast, we’re introducing a new format: a guest host series highlighting voices from across the vinyl industry. Our first guest host is a familiar face (and voice), Amanda Schutzman of All Media Supply. Known as the indie store queen, Amanda works closely with record shops across the country and brings years of experience growing up in and working with independent stores.

Amanda’s first guest is Sam Nemeth, owner of Erie St. Vinyl, a record store built on deep musical roots and community. Sam shares her path into the world of records, shaped by a lifelong love of music and the independent spirit that defines record store culture.

Together they explore how record stores are more than retail spaces — they’re gathering places where friendships form, discoveries happen, and communities grow. From renewed interest in CDs as vinyl prices rise to the excitement and logistics of preparing for Record Store Day, they also dive into what it takes to keep a local record store thriving.

Grab your favorite box of cereal and enjoy!

We’re back from our summer break and diving straight into our thoughts on vinyl news of now.  While we may have recorded this in late July, the news is still relevant and ever evolving. In this  episode we chat sustainability updates and the industry’s carbon footprint in steak sizes, the growing movement to cancel Spotify and AIs impact on what we're listening to; as well as Gen Z’s evolving relationship with vinyl and careers in the pressing ecosystem, plus the ever-shifting tariff drama that continues to impact physical media. Join us as we unpack what these changes mean in our own words.

We’re back with everyone's favorite band tee collector, Amanda Schutzman, to talk all things Record Store Day—including insider tips for this year’s event and how to stop the flippers. Amanda’s been your go-to for all things vinyl her whole life—if she doesn’t know the answer, you’re probably asking something that isn’t record-related. A former Women in Vinyl board member and current volunteer, Amanda has been a guiding light for countless record stores through her work with All Media Supply. Her passion for music runs deep, from curating record-centric trips and crafting city-specific vinyl maps to organizing Long Island’s Vinyl Revolution Record Show. And her 12" single collection? It’s legendary. We love her, you love her—let’s dive in! And P.S.—this one’s for the Peanut!

This Women’s History Month, we’re joined by Alexandria Sade—founder of Black Girls Love Vinyl (BGLV), a community platform dedicated to celebrating Black women's connection to vinyl and cultural preservation in music and the arts. From her St. Louis roots to her work in music supervision for major network sitcoms, Alexandria’s journey is as eclectic as her record collection. Tune in as we discuss her path, BGLV’s impact, and how she's amplifying Black women’s voices in the analogue space.
