Good folks, it’s time for an interview and Uncle Monte is ready to deliver in a way that Willie Stargell (Pops!) used to deliver for the those great Pirates teams of the 70’s. For this extra special episode, Josh is joined by the magnificent Monte Mallin for a conversation about the new Sparks documentary, the Beatles (being overrated?), arms control and international security, Chris Elliot, Muy Thai, and the essential Pittsburgh experience. Tune in to hear some thoughts from this fantastic fella in Maryland, who also happens to be a drummer, a podcaster, a black belt, an educator, a strategic planner for nuclear security (seems like that could’ve been listed first), and a yo-yo enthusiast.

Yet most importantly, this one is about the legendary band Sparks, so prepare y’self to learn about a group that deserves your attention and probably your respect too!
