Update: 2024-05-12
Description
Part 3, of Steve Albini remembered and one of my favorite times he has been on, this is the episode where he first talks about not being held to account for the name of the band Rapeman, before any other medium. We also talk about Seth and Jordan Minnesota and other controversial Big Black things as Dave Riley had recently passed. One of my favorites of this entire show, frankly.
For the 150th episode, one of our favorite guests is back, the unmistakable and always interesting Mr. Steve Albini.
