It's a triple header, with John Angus MacDonald from The Trews talking about the early days of the band, setting out on the road, and what it's like these days travelling as a musician in a post pandemic kind of world. 

Jimmy Diresta is the MAN! Currently seen on NETFLIX' Making Fun, Jimmy is an inventor, fabricator, businessman and raconteur, and we had a heck of a time talking about his days in the toy business, making a television show, and working with Nick Offerman.

Our first doctor, and our first Swede, Dr. Samuel West is the curator of the globe spanning Museum of Failure...a celebration of losing, which of course, if you keep trying, leads to winning. A charming fellow, we have a good time making fun of famous automotive failures, the Delorean, and the Edsel.

Brad Walker's first car was a dream come true for a kid that grew up watching Knight Rider. We talk T-Tops, hair-metal and growing up rural. And the Road Hammers' Clayton Bellamy looks back on a wreck turned into a family project, and gives us a peek at life on the tour-bus. Recorded, as always, at Communal Creative Studios in Red Deer!

Kim Berly from Canadian rockers, The Stampeders, tells us about the Cadillac limo that helped take them from little gigs on the prairies, to becoming one of the most loved bands of all time. See www.thestampederes.com for tour dates. Also joined by Cord Higbee, who told me about a vehicle I'd never even heard of...the 1934 Diamond T.
