This week Greg is talking with Hunter Ginn, the other half of the Radical Research Podcast, as well as the drummer and musician in Canvas Solaris, Plague Psalm, and the new drummer for Sculptured. We discuss Radical Research, his bands, and a long dissertation on what it was like to grow up as a metal fan in the 90’s and be jaded and cynical in your early 40’s. It was a fun conversation so check it out!

This week, we are taking a trip to the 1997 to revisit Greg’s time as a DJ at 91.3 WDOM in Providence, RI hosting a weekly metal show called The Metal Meltdown! In October of 1997, 19 year old Greg interviewed local RI metal DJ Dr. Metal aka Mike Gonsalves who hosted the biggest metal show in town every saturday night from 12pm-2am called The Metal Zone on 94.1 WHJY. In addition to being an awesome show, Dr. Metal was a huge influence on Greg’s radio show and helped Greg get some contacts in the industry for getting cds sent to the station. Unfortunately we lost Doc in 2003 during the Station Nightclub Fire which killed 100 people and injured 230. This episode is a rest in power tribute to him and all the others who lost their lives that night. I hope you all enjoy this blast from the past. This is a Ret Con Industries production.
