This is a music AND comedy episode, y'all! Richard puts an official bow on his trip to Austin with a shout out to End of an Ear Records and Austin City Limits, then he welcomes Chuck Daley, co-founder of record label Tiny Engines, for a nice longform chat about how the label is crushing it with their new vinyl subscription. Finally, we magically zap into the Nerdist School Podcast studio to talk with a USC college student who needs Richard's help with her masters thesis. Nobody knows why we do this show but we're glad you've at least read this description. As always, you can hit us up online on the social networks at @surfacenoisepod or via email at [email protected].
