Our take on Broken Record with Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond podcast

Liner notes are dialogues, conversations and narratives that used to be part of albums. They mostly narrated backstories and histories behind the albums. The current generation of music fans would not be familiar with liner notes. But the older, more seasoned music lovers have interacted fairly with the notes. Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam, and Justin Richmond reinvent those conversations, given the absence of liner notes in current albums. Instead, broken Record offers in-depth interviews with several musicians where they discuss their albums, inspiration and craft.
