Jim Ward of Sparta (also of Sleepercar and formerly of At the Drive-In) called into the show to talk about revisiting the songs of "Wiretap Scars" for the album's current 20th anniversary tour.  We also spoke at length about late producer Jerry Finn's influence, and how important an influence Rick Froberg and Drive Like Jehu were on Jim's music.

Thanks to Sarah @ Grandstand Media for setting this up!

Songs:
● Sparta - "Cut Your Ribbon"
● Sparta - "Collapse"
● Sparta - "Super Unison" (Drive Like Jehu cover)
