After months of planning, Too Many Records Fest finally happened and it was an absolute success. Matt sold over 450 records, met a ton of awesome fans and vinylheads, Tiny Stills, Fort Vine and The Album Leaf played, and there was a live podcast. This is the live podcast. It was a bit truncated due to some time restraints, but Matt, Eric (Vinyl Rewind), Amanda (CoO of Sumerian Records) and Jimmy (The Album Leaf) sat down and talked about their relationship with vinyl and the state of the industry in 2019.

Ameri came on the show to share her choices for Hip-Hop Mount Rushmore, and then her and Matt talked about the current Kan-troversy.
