Glad your in the studio Ben, seems a bit better, Viva La Heavy Friends !

Ben Armstrong (host)
In the studio is organic - more opportunity to fumble over my words, botch mixes and lose track of time. Live radio!

9:43 PM, May 6th, 2023
Sean
That's the best way!

9:46 PM, May 6th, 2023

Was busy last night so caught up with the show today on the drive to Montreal. Cool stuff! Sometimes reminding me James Holden and the Animal Spirits with the mix of synths and live jazz musicians.
