Planet Money Records Vol. 1: Earnest Jackson
Our friends at Planet Money are trying something we thought All Songs listeners might find as fascinating as we do: They're trying to start their own record label to release a single song. It's a song about inflation, recorded in 1975... and never released until now.
(This episode is part one of a series)
Listen to "Inflation" on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, Tidal, Amazon Music & Pandora.

Customer Reviews
Great place to hear new artists and their music
I’ve found that I enjoy Bob’s selections over Robin’s but but throw me a curveball every so often. Been listening for many years and almost always enjoy the podcast and likely hear something new and that I really enjoy.
What happened??
Never thought I would stop listening to this show but I’ve finally unsubscribed. The quality of the music they feature has plummeted and the pod has become a soapbox for the woke. I really miss the old days.
No longer about music…
This podcast used to be about awesome new music. Now it is mostly boring ramblings about the gender identity of every one who has recorded themself in the shower with their phone and posted it to Soundcloud.
