Today, Andy chats with Alex Lightspeed and a few of his co-conspirators Todd Daggett and The Neon Syndicate!  Alex talks about fixing up old Pontiac Fieros, getting one of his tracks in the Forza Horizon soundtrack, and even getting one of his cars into a major Hollywood picture starring Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen. Todd chats about his drum and bass roots and writing novels, Gabriele loves keytars and bell peppers, and Alex sunk in the mud at burning man. And if you love cryo-chambers than hang on to your hats because we talk about the thing you love.

It IS Halloween! This spooky season Andy chats with Killer Klowns movie composer John Massari! John talks about adapting the Klowns score to a live to film concert, music education in the 70s, and his love for vintage synthesizers. John has some juicy behind the scenes stories while working on the music for B-movies like the Snake Eater Trilogy, Retro Puppet Master and Kickboxer 5. They also chat about how music production has changed over the years, scoring mobisodes, and being a kid on Halloween during the Cuban missile crisis. And to keep things Halloweeny, Andy is joined by Mike Mendoza to, sort of, talk about Halloween stuff.
