Watch: ‘King Of Pop Culture’ Gary Sohmers On BINJ Live

Legendary appraiser talks retro and collectibles, alternative press, and music history

Thanks to Gary Sohmers for appearing on our 20th installment of BINJ Live. The former Antiques Roadshow appraiser and longtime cultural icon spoke with us for nearly an hour, discussing everything from new nostalgia trends to the enduring love for vinyl, as well as his own role in creating and promoting counterculture for decades.

We truly recommend that anybody who is interested in collectibles and vintage watch the whole interview below. And you can check out Gary in person this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (March 13-15) at the NorthEast ComicCon & Collectibles Extravaganza in Boxborough, Mass. Free appraisals all weekend plus much, much more.

The Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism produces bold independent journalism for Greater Boston and beyond.
Since 2015, BINJ has been producing hard-hitting news and analysis focusing on housing, criminal justice, the environment, government malfeasance, corporate corruption—and shedding light wherever it’s needed.

We work with some of the most experienced reporters in Greater Boston, and we also train dozens of emerging journalists each year to help them learn critical skills while providing quality reporting to our audience.

BINJ not only produces important stories; we also share our work for free with other community news outlets around Massachusetts, while organizing and leading at the regional and national levels of the nonprofit news industry.

We collaborate with other community publications and engage the public in civic educational initiatives
