Chris Aballo's Podcast Experiment

Chris is joined by God Forbid guitarist Doc Coyle to kick off 2026!

The two men present a collection of extended interviews conducted by Chris as part of the documentary God Forbid: 20 Years of Treason.  Doc Coyle, Corey Pierce, Byron Davis and John Outcalt delve into the band's history including their early days, the making of their 2005 album Constitution of Treason, touring as part of Ozzfest, how the band is different since their 2022 reformation, and much more.  Plus, Chris and Doc get on a tangent about the golden age of action movies and the importance of physical media (because it wouldn't be CAPE without tangents).

Whether you're new to the band or this podcast, enjoy this deep dive into one of the underappreciated outfits of The New Wave Of American Heavy Metal.

For the first time, the combo meal of Chris, Christian Cordes and U-Goboy teams up  to dig into more of modern life: keeping your name safe online, dating app experiences, being pressured to settle down, and the importance of knowing where you are and what you want from your life in the long and short term.

 Just in time for Father's Day, Chris gathers with Jack DeFranco and Joe Weber to hear all about the promises and pitfalls of parenthood.

Since both men became new fathers in 2024 (and both have sons), they cover the challenges of pregnancy/labor/birth, along with their initial fears and eventual comfort with their newborns, as well as the rapid changes packed into those early months.  They also talk about the shows and music they've been introducing to their sons and how being a parent has brought a new perspective to their lives, all while the childless Chris listens and comments along.

Chris' short film THE OUT is now available on YouTube and in light of all the questions he's been asked since it was filmed in 2023, it was decided to make a very thorough (and very long) episode about every element of the film: from the nights out that inspired it through filming and submitting to film festivals.

Chris is joined by his co-star Ugo "U-Goboy" Onyianta, producer/sound recordist Christian Cordes, composer Daryian Kelton and Director of Photography Nicholas Libraro as the group discusses their involvement in the project along with their responses to the finished film and experience of viewing it with different audiences.
