Yo! Mackin is back in action with a interview of himself hosted by his father. Unfortunately, the recording cut off halfway through the conversation. But what was captured was still worth sharing - Mackin diving in to his personal belief systems and history with religion.

A wonderful, wacky live show! I start the show rambling about my recent decision to begin taking antidepressants. Curtis Green (pianist, composer) shares a new piece with us entitled "Hush". Massimo Napoli hosts "Everyone Is John" as Jack DeMeo, Chase Rosenberg and I compete for control as different characters in the same body. And to close the show, Jack and Chase bring the heat with glorious comedy jams!
