Continuing our Christmas episode train, Josh and Nick were welcomed by Joe and Dan from the Irish post-funk quartet Scustin. Their 2025 album 'Confessions of a Pub Talker' was a top release for Josh, so the Christmas train very much became the hype train. From their chance encounter with Matt Damon in Ireland to the origins of their visceral band name, this is an episode for all you funky punky Rifflings out there.
