Your hosts of the "How We Heard It" podcast usually have a general goal in mind when they pick a topic ... but when they came up with this idea, they had no clue what they were in for: "Hey, let's dig through our music collections and just see what we find."
Keep in mind that these guys have each amassed thousands of albums and compact discs (and even some 8-track tapes for Wayne), accumulated over decades thanks in great part to record companies sending the guys an avalanche of free music, hoping for reviews.
Amazingly, Wayne and John independently decided they wanted to start the podcast with the same artist. And Chuck quickly remembered he didn't like the smell of the cardboard in album covers and had never even listened to many of the artists in his collection.
On this week's episode, the guys talk about some of their initial findings, their random systems of filing and storing their collections, some hidden gems they turned up, and some unexpected, funny and baffling memories that surfaced with their research.
The guys came up with ample podcast material when they had barely made even a dent in their collections, so they decided they'll dig deeper for future podcasts.
Meanwhile, have you poked around in your music collection lately? You might be surprised by what you find.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
