Our very first episode of The Polyvinyl Podcast is now live everywhere you get your podcasts from! Hosted by Fred Thomas, in this episode we meet the founders of Polyvinyl and travel back with them to before the label existed, when they were publishing zines and putting on shows in their small Midwestern town in the early ’90s. Featuring interviews with Matt & Darcie Lunsford, Bob Nanna & Todd Bell from Braid, Rainer Maria, American Football's Mike Kinsella, Pedro the Lion's David Bazan, with commentary from The Get Up Kids’ Matt Pryor and Aloha's Tony Cavallario. Listen along to hear how the label grew from a few errant 7"s and a compilation to release pivotal albums from Rainer Maria, Braid, and American Football.

The Polyvinyl Podcast is a new series hosted by Fred Thomas – along with Polyvinyl staffers Natalie Dávila, Andy De Santis, and Seth Hubbard – that chronicles Polyvinyl's evolution as a record label over the last quarter of a century featuring exclusive interviews with American Football, Alvvays, Japandroids, Jeff Rosenstock, Julia Jacklin, Kero Kero Bonito, of Montreal, Laura Jane Grace, STRFKR, Xiu Xiu and many more.
