Chris does a phenomenal job at keeping the podcast light so the guest opens up while also asking the types of questions fans want to hear. I’ve learned many things I never knew and it’s made being a fan of all music more enjoyable.

I’m new here, starting off with Ani because she’s the only one I know out of anyone on the list. Just throwing it out there that I would love to hear a deep dive on Mike Patton and Al Jorgensen.
