Join Mike (owner of The Ingram in Phoenix, AZ) and his buddy Leland for the debut episode of Analog After Dark — a laid-back, music-obsessed podcast for vinyl collectors, audiophiles, and anyone who lives and breathes music.

In this first episode, Mike and Leland dive into:

• The Vinyl Summit in Salina, Kansas — Acoustic Sounds’ massive 40th anniversary event featuring Chico Freeman, Mud Morganfield, Taj Mahal, a huge record fair, and eye-watering VIP packages up to $6,290. Is it worth the trip from Phoenix?
• The latest high-end audio drama — Michael Fremer vs. Jay’s Audio Lab over $780,000 Wilson Audio speakers and a $114,000 paint job.
• New Rhino Hi-Fi releases — Dusty in Memphis, Cher’s 3614 Jackson Highway, and Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark. Which ones are must-buys?
• Collector stories — Mike scores a sealed Velvet Underground & Nico from the legendary Easy Street Records haul in Seattle.
• Recent concerts — David Byrne shows, Coachella memories, Brian Wilson, and more.
• Record Store Day pickups — Leland’s favorite finds including Dada, Billie Eilish live, and Blink-182.

Plus, they answer listener questions about mispronouncing album titles on purpose and buying tickets just for the opening act.

Raw, honest, and full of shop talk — this is the vinyl and music podcast you’ve been waiting for.

New episodes dropping weekly.
