Serial has broken all sorts of records for podcasts, and now it may have another: it may be the first podcast ever to have its original score released on vinyl.
On YourClassical, Hailey Colwell has been sharing the stories of some of the children's classics we play on our lullaby stream. Last week, she wrote about Debussy's Children's Corner and Saint-Saens's Carnival of the Animals.
