A podcast about vinyl, pressed to vinyl for
The Spinoff
The Long Play. The warped history of vinyl in Aotearoa.
The Long Play traces the resurgence of vinyl in Aotearoa, exploring why a format defined by its flaws has found new life in a frictionless digital world. Through perspectives from across the music industry, it maps a warped history that stretches from the earliest recordings in New Zealand to a new generation of collectors discovering it for the first time.
To tell that story, the podcast was pressed onto vinyl and released back into the wild, hidden in record stores across the country. We turned a modern audio series into something physical, collectible and worth seeking out.
