    34. Inlet with Andrew Cieslak

    Big Shiny Goons is back and in a big way. New segments, new ideas, and same audio issues (sorry). Andrew (@torqpenderloin) joins the show to talk about Hum's miraculous 2020 album "Inlet" and how much it caught everyone by surprise, and how we might never ever see it toured or the band play live again. Outside of the album, it's some Chicago sports chat, getting into heavy music, and the new segment called Monthly Programming's debut! Follow the pod on Twitter: @big_shiny_goons

    It's the end of 2021, and instead of reading a bunch of people's favourite albums of the year, why not listen to what some past guests of BSG have to say? We got Laura Saba, Drew Fairservice, Arun Srinivasan, Sie Morley, Mike Pfeil, Maddie Campbell, and Rahef Issa, to talk about their album of the year.
