Kurt Metzger kindly invited me on to his very popular new podcast and the results were anything but dull. The man has a lot to say, and is definitely not afraid to say it. Strap in for a wild ride... 

...and then mosey on over to the Big 'Zon and pick up this instant classic. You will be happy you did.
