"Every Day Is Record Store Day" — Becky Franzel & The Sonic Road on Supporting Independent Music

Join our community here: www.thesonicroad.com Host Beau and returning guest Becky Franzel — Milwaukee author and lifelong rock fan — make the case that you don't need to wait for one Saturday a year to support independent music and independent record stores. Between Bandcamp, direct-to-artist purchasing, and independent record stores that are open year-round, the tools to support the music and the scenes you love are available every single day. The concept behind Record Store Day is genuinely important — but the rising costs, the pricing on the floor, and the way the economics can box out smaller retailers have made the actual event increasingly complicated for a lot of people in the independent music community. Every day is Record Store Day if you choose to treat it that way. This clip is from Episode 32 of The Sonic Road Podcast, out now on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcasts.
