It’s the end of an era! Protonic Reversal cohost Brenna Betts is moving away. She gets the royal send off with a crazy go nuts hell ass episode that includes… well, a lot of stuff. Dying dogs, the sound of silence. Measurements of synth. The pre-requisite political talk, Coywolves, medication side effect commercials, Evan Gritzon: scene of 1, skeletons, There are remembrances, recollections, opining and other things. Ridley Scott: “That Never Happened.” Nonsense and epiphany, navalgazing. Farewell Brenna we will miss you.

Jeff and Dana from Batwings Catwings talk about their new ep Coast to Coast and the experience of being a poppy, but noisy band. The differences between Turbo Lightning and Batwings Catwings, EPs over albums and doing almost every piece of it DIY. Writing inspiration and influence and touring Japan for shows or silly videos. Jeff speaks a bit about producing music for shows and eliminating the excuse of writer’s block. He also talks a bit about his time in the Mae-Shi and let’s it drop that there will be a one off reunion of that band as a benefit for the legendary all-ages venue the Smell.

Conan speaks to Patrick Walsh of Risk/Reward and Live from the Barrage about self titled records, being from Queens, *NOT* Brooklyn, and developing naturally. Talk ensues about sounding natural on the radio and why they would do an internet radio show on Friday nights. Later in the show there is a call in from Shehzaad of Toronto band Greys who checks in on tour, and shockingly does not mention hockey or Tim Hortons, All this plus more suggestions for: “What song should Ryan Christopher Parks be forced to cover?” and SO. MUCH. MORE.
