    Adrian Sherwood on "The Collapse of Everything"

    In our first episode of 2026, the legendary UK record producer, remixer, and dub pioneer Adrian Sherwood reflects on his fourth solo studio effort, The Collapse of Everything, released last summer on his On-U Sound label. He explains how the album's melodic, contemplative sonic headspace balances modern plugin technology with the raw, "breathing" energy of live performances. He also talks about many of his collaborators like Doug Wimbish and Brian Eno, but also dear departed cohorts such as Keith LeBlanc, Mark Stewart, and Lee "Scratch" Perry. Over his five-decade career, Sherwood has become synonymous with a distinctive "sound-scientist" approach to the mixing desk, most notably associated with the groundbreaking projects African Head Charge, the industrial-funk powerhouse Tackhead,  rhythmic explorers Dub Syndicate, and the seminal roots-dub band Creation Rebel.   The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

    John C. Reilly is Mister Romantic

    Happy New Year from the Record Store Day Podcast! As we hustle 2025 out the door, we give you one final holiday treat. Actor John C. Reilly has made a name for himself in the films of Paul Thomas Anderson, in the movie musical Chicago, and in comedy films like Step Brothers, Talladega Nights, and the cult comedy, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, a parody of rock music biopics.    But in 2025, Reilly released two physical recordings as his enigmatic stage persona, Mister Romantic; the full album, What's Not To Love? And the recent RSD Black Friday 7 inch single "Dream A Little Dream Of Me," b/w "Paper Moon"   In this delightful conversation, Reilly explains the origins of his high concept persona, and reveals that musical theatre and the spreading of joy and love are his abiding passions.    The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

    The RSD Podcast's Wonderful Christmastime Special

    We're simply having a wonderful holiday special, and you're invited.   While music fans may be divided about the merits of Paul McCartney's enduring holiday offering "Wonderful Christmastime," it's hard to deny that the Holidays are always packed with new releases from both of his legendary bands. 2025 brought us both the latest installment in The Beatles Anthology albums (and the updated streaming series), plus two projects that shine a spotlight on Macca's other band, Wings.   One was a new triple LP compilation, WINGS: The Definitive Self-Titled Collection, and the other is a book, the oral history Wings: The Story Of A Band On The Run, written by McCartney himself, and edited by our guest today, historian Ted Widmer, who talks about the process of working with McCartney and what he learned about the story of the ex-Beatle's overachieving second act.   And McCartney's current long-serving guitarist/bassist Brian Ray just got back from the band's worldwide Got Back Tour, and is here to share some of his insights about bringing the McCartney catalogue to life, Every Night. He also talks about some of his solo projects, including the recent RSD Black Friday double LP, Rock The Plaza, where Ray worked alongside legends like Paul Rodgers, Josh Homme, Alice Cooper, and Orianthi.    The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.
