They’re set to perform another enormously successful Rally show here in town soon. Max and I go back a ways and it’s always great to chat with him.

This week we have a great conversation with author Peter Darbyshire, about his reissued (and ongoing) Book of Cross series, especially the first one, The Mona Lisa Sacrifice since that’s the one I read hahaha.
