    Ben Smasher returns! Tonight we pay tribute to my dear friend Barron Christian. Ben reached out about doing a show with me where he ask questions about Barron and tell stories. If ya'll can imagine, I don't really have time to mourn or grieve when someone passes. I probably soaked up much of the oxygen in the room as I really have't had time to talk about any of this. Plus we got a special playlist that Ben and myself cooked up.

    Satan's Almighty Penis - "Barron Voices" / Pulsing Feral Spires (Cedar Rapids)Twelve Cannons - "The Sound of Your Voice" / Volume Five Demos (Iowa City)North to Alaska - "Owls" / Everything Right Now (Cedar Rapids)Matthew Davis - "How Can I Breathe When You're Here" / Let's Drown Each Other (Iowa City)Captain Three Leg - "Silver Finger" / Split with X-Ray Mary (Ottumwa)Satan's Almighty Penis - "Sacrifyx" / Thy Foulness Cum (Cedar Rapids)

    We are so back! Last week we only had a radio broadcast with no podcast release. My long time friend and long time listener to the show, Barron Christian, passed away last Monday. Like KFMG station manager, Gary Monte, Barron has periodically contributed to the show whether it be sending me audio messages, hosting listening parties and reviewing the show in real time by via text message. So last week I took a beat and only did a radio broadcast with the re-airing of episode #100.

    But tonight, we are back!
