In December we announced The Polyvinyl Podcast – 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. In Episode 1 we meet our founders, Matt & Darcie Lunsford, 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. 

Episode 2 sees Polyvinyl begin to branch out, in both style and region, working with unconventional indie rockers Aloha, as well as pop bands Mates of State, Saturday Looks Good To Me, and of Montreal, who would go on to become one of the label's most successful projects with the release of 2007's Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?. Featuring interviews with Aloha's Tony Cavallario, Mates of State, Polyvinyl Label Director Seth Hubbard, Saturday Looks Good To Me's Fred Thomas, of Montreal's Kevin Barnes, with additional commentary from Laura Jane Grace and members of Generationals & Kero Kero Bonito. Subscribe and follow The Polyvinyl Podcast to keep up with new episodes as they are released. #PVTurns25
