About this listen

 The Vinyl Curriculum is a music podcast where Logan and Jim explore a different theme or era in music history. Each episode, Jim plays songs from before Logan was born in an effort to introduce him—and listeners—to amazing tracks worth revisiting. Jim shares some background of each song, while Logan listens with fresh ears and gives each track a grade. Originally broadcast live on WRLA, Lewis University’s radio station, the podcast version includes the commentary—but only parts of the music (thanks, licensing rules).
