Spotlight Conversations

The Michael Kurtz interview

Donna Reed Episode 30

Remember record stores? Spending days on end crate digging for your fave vinyl album? Listening to a special in-store concert - with a limited edition vinyl release party afterwords?  Meet Michael Kurtz, co-founder behind Record Store Day, an annual event of independent record store owners who celebrate this unique culture of music listening worldwide. The Billboard Magazine's Executive of the Week talks about putting his ideas in motion for the first Record Store Day with Metallica (at their  neighborhood record store, Rasputin Music);his start in North Carolina and his own brush with fame with the band "Three Hits"; how a passion for music led to his being knighted in France; and his future goals for helping local musicians and their communities. Bring along those headphones and tune in!


About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:

Tune in as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk about all things media - radio, television, music, film, voiceovers, audiobooks, publishing - if guests are in the spotlight, we're talkin'! Refreshingly unscripted and unusually entertaining, listen in as each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz, from where they started to how it's going. Settle into my swanky studio where drinks are on ice and the conversation starters are music + media - always a deal breaker for the rock and roll homemaker!
