RSR PC 100 Anthony Fantano Interviews Josh and Rick

[QUICK NOTE: We are CLOSED on EASTER SUNDAY 4/5/26]

It’s episode 100! We thought we should do something special! It’s also coincidentally April 1st (April Fools Day) and while we’re not big on lying and calling that a joke we thought this would be a fun twist! So, here’s this! We’ve had a lot of guests on the show (over 100! Some episodes have multiple guests.)! However, we’ve never been guests ourselves! So, here we are!

Rick, Anthony, & Josh

Anthony leads a fun interview with us (Rick & Josh) about the store! We talk about how we met. We talk about Record Store Day (check out the details for this year’s event here). We talk about music! We have fun! Check it out!

Record Store Day 2026: April 18th!

Record Store Day 2026 is on Saturday, April 18th!
Special hours 8AM-7PM. 

We’ll have a ton of the Record Store Day Exclusives in stock and we’ll open early at 8AM and have our menu system ready to go in order to move folks along as quickly as possible!

We are located at:
69 South Turnpike Road, Wallingford, CT 06492

We will have a lot of Record Store Day specific items. There will be a line that forms to our front door. We’ve had much success and acclaim with it so we’ll continue using a menu system to help the line move along even quicker than usual. Once we arrive and have things all set up we will come out to the line and hand out these menus (a list of items that you can request items from ; 1 of each item per person maximum) and later retrieve them. At 8AM we will start ringing up the orders and passing them out. When we are out of a given item we will let folks know in the best way we can and offer the available items to anyone with a filled out form/menu in line order.

A list of available items will be posted on the 11th (the night before RSD) by 7PM on our website. 

Parking is available by our shop with excess parking available behind / beside the gas station just south of the store on the same side of the street (other side of the closest traffic light) or at Cody’s Barbershop (across the street in the opposite direction). Do be careful crossing the street! Please be mindful of our neighbors and do your best not to congest the lot or park in non-parking spaces (use the lots mentioned and seen in this photo below).

RSR PC 099 Zach From Grace’s Place

Zach Fontanez and his family run a coffee shop and sober bar in Meriden that holds events ranging from a silent book club to hardcore shows. He’s also been in and continues to be in a bunch of bands. We thought all that was a great reason to get him on the podcast to talk primarily about Grace’s Place which fills a void in the lack of all-ages venues in the area.

We told Matt from Killer Kin that Zach was going to be on and Matt then wrote this up about him:

Zach Fontanez is one of the most prolific, energy-filled, altruistic rockers to ever grace the  Connecticut music scene.  With a taste palette that spans all mutations beneath the rock ‘n roll umbrella, this Punk’s voracious appetite for creation germinates a scene and show setting rife with electric elation.  A member of groups such as: The Human Fund, Minor Inconveniences, HATERS, and many more notable projects, Fontanez can be seen behind the kit, in your face with screaming into a Shure SM58, or swinging his stud-clad wrists in front of your favorite stage.  Fontanez is a paragon of Raw-Powered positivity, patience, and the DIY dreams that most wish they could live.
