It&#8217;s changed a bit in design and format over the course of the year, and it&#8217;s an ever-developing project, and if I&#8217;m lucky, it always will be. <\/p>\n<p>To celebrate, I&#8217;ve created a &#8220;Best Of&#8221; episode of the podcast compiling bits from the first eleven interviews with Brian Kiley, Noel Fielding, Dave Cobb, Nate Leavitt, Michael J Epstein and Sophia Cacciola, Brendan Boogie, Steven Wright, Robbie Fulks, the Reformed Whores, Tom Snyder, and Ruby Rose Fox.
