This episode features special guest ANDREW THORP KING; an executive fintech banker, spy novelist, speaker, punk rocker, podcaster, ex-bodybuilder, cigar lover, and serial entrepreneur - including stints as head honcho at THORP RECORDS and SAILOR'S GRAVE RECORDS, imprints which have accompanied heavyweights like MADBALL, BLOOD FOR BLOOD, SLAPSHOT, US BOMBS and many more. Andrew joined us for an interview focused on his new book 'FAILURE RULES!' and we think it's a great episode. Lots of in-depth discussion which hits home whether or not you're much of a readers, ranging from thoughts on punk rock and hardcore to deeper spiritual/philosophical matters (although that "range" often looks more like a Venn Diagram, as any diehard knows). After the interview, you can enjoy a few minutes of the KOPPOD troika riffing and rambling about movies, music, and more.
