Two years ago I lost my dear friend and we all lost the Vinyl Snob himself, Dave Whitaker. The above pic is of us goofing off in the newly built Vinyl Snob studio. Still hard to believe I won’t be able to geek out over the newest ultra-analog release with him, bemoan the state of the world or hear his high-pitched giggle. But we can always listen to his podcasts and radio shows on vinylsnob.com. Keep on spinnin’ Dave!

Hey Vinyl Snobs! We have a bunch of shirts that I'd love to give away. I'm just charging $5 for shipping. Check out the store and get a shirt to remember the Vinyl Snob himself, Dave Whitaker, and the wonderful shows that he hosted. Even my Mom has a shirt (thanks, Mom).

Vinyl Snob has t-shirts in three different colors to choose from as well as tote bags. Help support our podcast and radio show and watch heads turn as you stroll into the record store!

2023 is just around the corner. What better way to say goodbye to 2022 than taking the time machine back 40 years to New Year's Eve, 1982! 2022 wasn't so hot as we lost our good friend and Vinyl Snob host, David Whitaker. But he lives on through the Vinyl Snob podcast, radio shows and a couple of awesome airchecks from his DJ'ing days at KROY in Sacramento in 1982.

Keep your friends close and have a safe and happy New Year!

Happy Holidays! May your stockings be stuffed with cleaning solvent and 13 x 13" presents spilling out from under your tree.

As a special Xmas gift, we've posted to the website an aircheck of Dave Whitaker DJ'ing on KROY on Christmas Eve 1982. Check out Dave doing what he did best... "less talk and more rock!"

A very sad day for Vinyl Snob. Our host and producer, the Vinyl Snob himself, Dave Whitaker has passed away. Dave’s knowledge, passion and robust, engaging voice drove the show through sixteen episodes. A past DJ, audio engineer and sound designer, Vinyl Snob was his true calling. A labor of love. With his brother Jerry, he was able to build a dedicated analog podcast studio where he spun the vinyl that bookended each episode, interviewed guests and recorded his insightful commentary. He even branched out to create Vinyl Snob radio shows curated by Dave as well as individual guest DJ shows. Please head over to www.vinylsnob.com to get a true appreciation of David Whitaker. As his co-producer and close friend, I feel grateful and honored to have been a part of his life. Thank you all for providing Dave with so much support and love.
