Musician and craftsman Buddy Young stops by to talk about infusing history into music, his hand-built guitar amplifiers, and so much more. I first met Buddy back when I was hosting my music show on 92.5 StokeFM, and he was promoting "One", the first full-length record from his band Steel City Ruins

This one's a corker. Kinell is a hilarious UK-based battle rapper/horror podcaster and our conversation goes all over the place, from his time as a drum and bass DJ, to dancing to the Banana Boat song on acid in a Minnesota basement, to the filmography of director Albert Pyun and how QAnon took all the fun out of conspiracy theories.

Jerry Smith is a film journalist and composer who specializes in moody, downtempo synth and we had a great talk about how our tastes in horror have mellowed with age, relationship lessons learned from the film "Jakob's Wife", and of course, his terrific new EP "Rescore", in which he re-imagines musical cues from some of the horror greats.

What's it like to stand in the path of a hurricane? On their latest release, the extraordinary horror film "Hellbender", indie directors Toby Poser & John Adams of Wonder Wheel Productions explore what it's like to deny your true nature, when your true nature is destruction, and join me to talk about not only that, but the cross-country road trip during which the film was shot, and so much more.

This episode you get two generations of Canadian horror novelists for the price of one. Andrew Pyper is the award-winning author of 10 novels, including "The Residence" (recently adapted into the DiscoveryPlus series "Demon in the White House") and "The Demonologist." His latest work is "Oracle", an Audible Original narrated by actor Joshua Jackson.

Steve Stred is the author of a number of novels and novellas, including the "Father of Lies" series, "Wagon Buddy", and the brand-new wilderness survival tale "Mastodon." He is a proud co-founder of the Ladies of Horror Fiction Writer’s Grant and an Active Member of the HWA.

Both men are deeply committed to research and this has led them to some fascinating and, in some cases, gruesome discoveries, so this is the only episode of "Largely the Truth" thus far to come with a content warning - if you're squeamish, listen cautiously.

Aish Divine is a visionary composer and musician whose path first crossed with mine 14 years ago in the deserts of Morocco. On this episode, we continue that long-ago conversation about life, faith, and sexuality before detouring into his solo albums - 2018's "Mother" and the brand-new "The Sex Issue." The NYC-based artist holds nothing back in talking about the pain of separation, the challenges of running an indie record label, and so much more.

The first Largely the Truth of 2022 is here and with it comes the only interview befitting such an occasion. Tara Sariban, host of the podcast "World's Dumbest Criminals" and apparently my wonder twin, joins me to talk about the nuts and bolts of indie podcasting. Since joining the podcast world in 2017 with "Bloody Murder", Tara has learned first-hand what it's like to be the face of a massively successful true crime show and shares that experience with us, both the good and the bad.
