About this episode
Paul and Ned discuss the emotional experience of sorting through old records and the nuances of record collecting.
Tasked with a mission to sort through boxes and crates of beat-up old 45s from Pinwheel Records in Chicago, Paul discusses the job – and the wave of emotions it unleashed – with Ned. This leads to extended rumination on record collecting, the thrill of the chase, parallels to the "Detectorists" TV series and the trying to explain the real value of any treasure in your personal collection – or any treasure you still seek.
