On this episode: Drummer for the Du-Rites, author of Root for the Villain, host of the Red Bull podcast Give the Drummer Some and MC in a previous life, J-Zone. As the lucky few of you who own a copy will know, J contributed a recipe to the first issue of our cookbook and we got to spend some time with him in Manhattan back in 2018. We still recount the stories he told us to this day so it was only right we got him on the podcast to tell them himself!

We spoke about his Greg Nice inspired weight loss program, how he stays fuelled to play drums and his unique way of whipping up meals at home using his favourite takeaway spots.  

A big shout out to The Last Skeptik for providing us with the intro & outro music!
