The Garret Schuelke Podcast

Record Store Day may have officially come and gone, but it's ALWAYS Record Store Day at Dodds Record Shop! Garret chats with its owner, Reverend Charles Preston Smith, about his personal history in music - from his obsession with 80's metal to the founding of the PotatoeBabies -, the various transitions and stages of the shop itself, including it's pre-World War II days to the shop and museum it is today, what he looks for in records and memorabilia, and Garret shows off his amazing negotiation skills by haggling with the good Reverend over the price of a Justin Bieber alarm clock!

NOTE: Because nothing can ever be perfect, there is a slight buzz in the background of the recording. I have tried my best to fix this. I have no idea how this happened, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with all the cursed Neil Diamond albums that inhabit the shop - Love, Garret

Recorded at Dodds Record Shop in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Saturday, April 29th, 2023.

In celebration of GODAN: QUEEN OF THE THIRD COAST finally being  published on Lulu, Garret and Zach discuss the horrendous process it  took for this to finally happen, then they get into terrible dating and  relationship experiences, bouncer etiquette, and the ramifications of  former Grand Rapids punk/metal bar Local 741 transforming into the  country/ "rock and roll" bar The Iron Well.

Recorded  at Elmblad Media Group studios, based within the Park Trades Center, in  Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Sunday, March 19th, 2019.
