Producer/Engineer/Shredder Mike Lust is a Chicago institution and his bands Luster King and Tight Phantomz have given this true rock and roll showman the perfect forum to shine. Mike opens up as we open cans of truth serum to hear him reflect on his prolific career as owner of Phantom Manor Studio and the many artists he's produced, Van Halen's impact on him and how to create a real rock show, why his bands play such short sets, how he twice started a pod very much like this one, and how he has created his giant outsized on-stage personality as a way of dealing with loss.
