My guest this week on is Pat Sheridan, guitarist of Fit For An Autopsy. I sat down with Pat before FFAA's show in Glasgow to bond about what it's like to work with the insufferable Will Putney (JK JK JK) as well as talking about everything from overcoming the anger of his youth and becoming the best father he can be - to Cardi B's leather pajamas. It gets heavy in a few places. Great dude, great chat.

Wednesday Apr 13, 2022
My guest this week is Aaron Gillespie, drummer and clean vocalist of Underoath. We sat down for a chat on the last day of tour to talk about everything from music and its current trend of overproduction, to mental health and mushrooms. As well as being such a funny and insightful chat Aaron opened up on a lot of stuff I'm not sure he's previously spoke about. We barely knew each other before this tour but became good friends very quickly and as a result this is one of my favourite episodes of the podcast yet.
