Welcome to another Scatterbrain Podcast mini-episode.  October 28th, 2022 marks the end of the longest and loneliest year of my life. I recorded various things I wrote about Stan over the last year since he died. I felt I needed to publish this as a historical record of a very special and important life lived. It's my way to honor the memory of The Best Dog That Ever Lived, so that others wil...

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 134: The Power of Metal Compels You, Volume 2! Sometimes you just have to say, "Screw it", and go with the flow.

This week, we each challenge the other to check out an album from our youth. We talk about "Blessing in Disguise" by M...

It's a behind-the-scenes look at Ian's sometimes incoherent babbling, and Dan's bottomless well of patience. You will probably be able to actually HEAR Dan rolling his eyes. Some may say Ian is unbalanced. But...
