About Us
Greetings record fans. Guess That Record is a brand new podcast that centers around a passion for music and attempts to illustrate various ways to interact with albums.
How it all started
Our Story
Guess That Record was born as an idea in the summer of 2021. I had always thought I would enjoy hosting a podcast, so I set to work coming up with an original concept for a music-based podcast. I’ve been collecting vinyl for many years, and from there I came up with the structure of the show where I would interview a guest, and then have them guess the album that we would discuss. Part game show, part podcast.
As an up and coming musician, doing this podcast is another avenue for me to get my name out there. It also gives me an excuse to talk about music. I consume music everyday of the week. I love learning about little known details about my favorite artists. I don’t know enough people that know as much about music as I do, therefore I don’t get to have many conversations about music. Doing this show is a way for me to have those conversations about music that I enjoy having so much. I also hope people can learn something new about music from this show.
