In a somber yet celebratory podcast we honor the life of my father, Eric Berman, who we lost last week.

Frank F'n Turner on the pod! In what could only be hailed as the most significant conversation to ever occur between an Englishman and an American, Jeff took this opportunity to ask Frank the important questions about... Tori Amos?!? Aaaaand, New Jersey-hardcore legends VISION, and (most importantly) why the hell Frank agreed to work on a Divided Heaven record. In all seriousness,

Visual artist Doug Dean does the best Album Artwork. For real! Doug did all the artwork for Oblivion (and also Cold War which won Gold at the Pittsburgh Addy award for Integrated Branding) as well as album artwork for Good Charlotte, Anti-Flag, Sleeping with Sirens, Homeless Gospel Choir and more. Doug and Jeff talk approach, how much literal is too literal, developing working rela
