Episode 53 - Dr. Rene Wiedner, University of Warwick

As Henry Rollins says, “knowledge without mileage, is B.S.” and so we’re pausing our world tour to have a more academic conversation with Dr Rene Wiedner.

Dr Wiedner is an associate professor of organization theory, at the University of Warwick - Coventry, and has been studying developments in vinyl record manufacturing for some time, with a particular interest in what happened between 1990 and 2015, a time when vinyl records were considered obsolete, and before the recent ‘vinyl revival’. He is currently writing an academic paper and a book on the topic, and joins us to discuss the importance of craft. And why we should be concerned with the preservation of skill, sharing knowledge, and how we learn and share manual skills.
Here at Women in Vinyl, we are focused on creating educational opportunities and paving roads to jobs using that education.
