Young Voices: Let's Talk About Vinyl Digging

Welcome back to Better Said Than Written, the podcast supplement of Artz of Culturez where I make a personal connection with today's trending topics.

This is a special episode where my son has taken over the show. When I heard we were going to discuss vinyl records I just had to say yes. And so I handed him the mic.

We talked about how I got into vinyl digging, my top four vinyl records, and how my son has an ear for music and a love for Sade.

Take a listen...

So who's really to blame for what's taking place in the world of journalism? The readers? Digital media? The editors? 

A Reassociated Press article sheds light on the situation. "Stop Blaming the Internet For Killing Newspapers. Start Blaming Editors," explains how the once coveted profession of journalism lost its way when editors, executives, and reporters were forced to go digital.
