Richard Russell is a music producer and the owner of XL Recordings, one of our favorite record labels and home to many HLG guests. We chat about the flat sneaker wars, pear-shaped engagement rings, the George Michael catalog, London restaurants, his salad bar strategy, how to leave your house without your phone, we explain Real ID, positive used of chatGPT, the arduous process of clearing samples for The Prodigy, a graffiti story, the business of music in general, and we try to squeeze a Burial story out of him.wikipedia.org/Richard_Russelltwitter.com/donetodeathtwitter.com/themjeanshowlonggone.comLearn more about your ad choices.
