Tobias Forge from Ghost is up first. What draws people into a band like Ghost? Tobias does his best to answer that, as he talks about not playing Detroit in what seems like forever. He also talks about anonymity, or lack thereof. 

Don Jamieson is up next with a very funny conversation to plug his Terrorizing Telemarketers 7, which drops this Friday, September 16th. I love talking to Don. We talk about how put together a project like this in this day and age. We talk rock, concerts, vinyl and lots more!
