While you may be forgiven for thinking that Robert Johnson is our guest for an episode about the devil at a crossroads, don't let the naming convention fool you. This is the tale of pioneering musician Robert Johnson who is simultaneously one of the most influential musicians of the 20th Century AND a complete mystery...

Alongside our customary 90s film chat, Jurassic Park references and gross toilet stuff.
