    Six degrees of Ginger Baker? Kind of. Mark And Jason discuss how one album, one player, one sound can lead to another and how, in just a few short steps, a listener can find themselves in an entirely different genre while maintaining a clear through line of influences. From primitive, explosive punk to the rhythmic dialogue of Afrobeat to Aquemini to Björk and back, they trace some of their own musical journeys.

    Jason's back and he and Mark are discussing Jack White, specifically his impact on physical media as his career and the vinyl format both skyrocketed in parallel. Jack White didn't invent colored vinyl, collectible records or deluxe packaging but he has been one of the most important artists of the 21st century in re-establishing vinyl itself as an artistic medium. Through Third Man Records, he treated the record not merely as a carrier of music, but as an object of design, engineering and craftsmanship.
