Join Doug Miller as he sits down with Mike Johnson, archivist and reissue producer at Rhino-Warner Records. From a childhood transistor radio sparking a Beatles obsession to working on iconic projects for The Grateful Dead, Ray Charles, Fleetwood Mac, and Curtis Mayfield, Johnson reflects on his part in preserving music history — as well as bigger questions about what music gets preserved for future generations and what doesn't.
