Technology changes the world around us at a fast pace. So fast, our jobs, the way we communicate, even the way we move around hardly resemble what they were like 10 or 15 years ago.   

Typically, new technology becomes the standard and the old one becomes obsolete. The music industry is very familiar with this.  The songwriters and producers of today create music in bedrooms instead of major studios.

Vinyl records break this rule. In recent years, records have consistently generated the most revenue among all physical music formats. That’s due in part to Record Store Day which molded younger music fans into collectors. They leap frogged cassette tapes and CDs, which were considered more advanced than records when they were released. 

Jeremy Peters, a music business professor from Wayne State University, joined the show to discuss what in the last 20 years catapulted vinyl records back into the mainstream.
