Ep. 3 -Saving a Neighborhood With 8,000 Vinyl Records

Reclaiming the soul of Philadelphia, one record at a time. In this episode, we sit down with Rashied Amon, owner of a standout vinyl shop in Mount Airy, Philly. What started as a discovery of his father’s hidden DJ stash in a grandmother’s attic turned into a mission to preserve and celebrate the rich legacy of Black music.

From thrift store hunting across the country to amassing a curated collection of over 8,000 vintage albums, Rashied shares the highs and lows of running a niche record store in today's vinyl resurgence.
