Ciao, Sneakers! We are sorry to tell you, but Ian received some bad news on Thursday and could not do the show this week so Dave is flying solo for this episode.
Please be gentle to our lonely Sneaker as he tries out one of the sidecast ideas mentioned on the question show: Mix Tape! Dave has taken one of the mix tapes he made for a show listener and has deconstructed the whole process: how he chooses songs; how he likes the songs to flow; and how to make a great mix tape (in Dave’s opinion). Plus lots of music trivia and typically opinionated Dave-isms.
