We have on the guys from Axiom to chat their new album, "Soteria"! Tune in to find out the technology they used during lockdown to jam and perform in their respective homes like they were together in the studio, what it is like to live track such technical progressive music as their main method of recording and its benefits and challenges, as well as how Stu functions off of his potato-like internet modem!

We have on Tim Bowness to talk about his newest solo album, "Butterfly Mind"! We discuss how the term Butterfly Mind relates to his own creative process, but how the album concept differs from that theme in a way, his thoughts on the evolution of commercial music to a more simplified, rigid form, and how the guests shaped the direction of the album.
