This week we welcome Ratboys drummer Marcus Nuccio to the show to tell us all about his devilishly handsome 5 year old Australian Cattle Dog Hank. Along with that we also sift through the many dogs that show up on his and the band's Instagram feed, hear about the dog that inspired the song Anywhere off Ratboys latest critically acclaimed LP Singing to an Empty Chair and recount the days Marcus spent as a dog walker in Chicago. Hear these stories and more from this good humored, life long dog guy.
