NR Examining why independent record stores have closed across the U.S

Before playlists, algorithms and one-click streaming, finding music meant digging through dusty bins, arguing with record-store clerks and stumbling across something you never knew you needed.

I Need That Record dives into the weird, wonderful world of America’s independent record stores — and asks what we lose when they disappear. Packed with music obsessives, shop owners and artists fighting to keep vinyl culture alive, it’s a funny, passionate love letter to the places where discovering a record used to feel like finding buried treasure.

Featuring Glenn Branca, Pat Carney, Noam Chomsky
