Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It's the Gary and Mason Show! (Ep. 223)
Q: What should you focus on first when dealing with a challenging gang vocal to improve emotional impact?

Cold, Rainy, and Stupid! (Ep 221)
Q: Where do you both personally draw the line between tools that support listening and tools that start replacing it?
