The Polyvinyl Podcast continues! In Episode 4 the label begins working with new artists such as Generationals, Jay Som, White Reaper, and Alvvays - who would eventually release two of the most beloved and highest streamed albums in the label’s catalog. We’ll also hear the story of American Football's reunion as well as the legendary prank Fred Thomas pulled on Polyvinyl Label Director, Seth Hubbard, back in 2013.

Featuring interviews with Meric Long (The Dodos), Generationals, Mike Kinsella, Rainer Maria, Betty Marie Barnes (Saturday Looks Good To Me), Nick Wilkerson (White Reaper), Melina Duterte (Jay Som), and Molly Rankin & Alec O’Hanley (Alvvays).

The Polyvinyl Podcast, hosted by Fred Thomas, chronicles PV'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 saw 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. Episode 3 the label starts seeing the effects of the internet firsthand, including interviews with Japandroids, STRFKR, Deerhoof, and Xiu Xiu.
