Over the last weekend in April, Citizen Vinyl had the pleasure of hosting Monocle — a Zurich-based round-the-clock global audio service featuring live shows and podcasts that cover news, entrepreneurship, culture, design, urbanism, media, and more. Monocle is also an international print publication, with an apparel line, other retail, stores, travel guides, etc.

The 50 Monocle readers in attendance are now assembling for coffee and I’m off to join them for some gallery and atelier tours. For an update on everything we’ve been up to, join us for a special edition of Monocle on Sunday, broadcast live from downtown Asheville … Do tune in.”
