    GME, FM Radio, & Gatekeeping For The Culture (feat West Box Score Podcast)

    It’s a crossover with the fellas from the West Box Score podcast. We recently had Alex & D-Bot on to have an impromptu discussion about the whirlwind of folks buying all that GameStop stock. We also got into the idea of gatekeeping, and debate if it’s still necessary for today’s culture. Of course - we get into some wax stories, while reminiscing about listening to music via good ol' FM radio. Lastly, we hear about Donald’s (aka D-Bot, aka Dragga Beats) inspiration for getting into the beat-making game, plus Alex’s start working for some of Cali’s most famous radio stations over the years.

    Lessons in Hiatus (EP1 Remix)

    The appetite for digging (virtually) has remained solid, but the desire to speak on it has been conflicting - as the new norms of a quasi-post Covid world have changed the way we move within the vinyl community. Catch up and tune in to hear what tracks have been getting heavy spin during the pandemic - including everything from the Jay Electronica to Ace of Base...! (WTF)

    "Arkansas" and Blog House (feat Andrew Boonkrong)

    “Arkansas” (starring Clark Duke, Liam Hemsworth, John Malkovich) was the new film getting all the pre-premiere buzz as South By Southwest was about to pop-off...and then Coronavirus. We talked to the film’s co-screenwriter, Andrew Boonkrong, about how he and Clark Duke (the film’s director) had been fighting to get this movie made and seen. Plus, we take a stroll down the indie/electro lane (aka Blog House) - and find out how Boon got to DJ at Radiohead’s Grammy party.

    Social Digging (and Social Distancing)

    We kick off S2 in full quarantine mode - as we lightly discuss the effect Covid-19 has had amongst the vinyl community. We re-cap the long year that's already been 2020 and discuss ways to dig for records responsibly (and ethically) during these unprecedented times. Sonny embraces solitude, while Rick lashes out at the Discogs marketplace ecosystem.

In vintage TFC fashion, we bring all the cuts to the forefront and put a bow on the first year of The Fox Crate Podcast. Thanks for sticking with us throughout Season 1 - more to come for Season 2. Stay hyped!

    EP18 - The Evolution of New Media (feat Andy Hermann & Doug Kamin)

    Our season one penultimate episode is a music nerd’s dream! We sat down with freelance writer, editor, and journalist - Andy Hermann, and the former vice-president of content at ARTISTdirect.com - Doug Kamin - to talk about the ever-changing landscape that is called “new media.” We re-live the glory days of what it was like to cover the music industry before the boom of blogs, podcasts, and streaming. We also get Doug and Andy’s takes on the future of vinyl collecting, and why Doug believes it to be just another fad. Andy and Doug also recount some of their personal favorite interviews that they conducted with the likes of Cameron Crowe, James Murphy, Stewart Copeland, and James Blunt. Lastly, Andy shares some of his favorite records with us, before he and Doug take on The Fox Crate DJ Challenge.
