Turntable Time Machine is a documentary-style audio series that explores one specific year in each episode. Host Michael Schmidt highlights major global events from that year — political shifts, revolutions, assassinations, and cultural milestones — and connects them with two songs released in the same year. Each segment breaks down what happened, why it mattered, and how music reflected the moment. It’s history through headlines — and through headphones.
