The best interviews with artistic-types are those that travel beyond the confines of the subjects' chosen mode of expression. Yes, Dave Pybus is primarily known for his work within the realm of heavy metal music, but through the course of this podcast, he effortlessly proclaims that he is a human being first and foremost. Every person he interviews is given the opportunity to break free of the shackles of their culturally-binding renown to engage in real conversations about life, history, and art. These conversations may be deemed sensitive, even taboo, to conservative minds, and this can hinder what should be an otherwise enlightening eavesdropping. "Life Is A Hideous Thing" is a cathartic experience, unconsciously designed to explore the root of what it is to be a creative human being.
