Rob Harvilla hosts one of my favorite podcasts and I was lucky enough to get him to guest on mixtapes.

We go over so much about his podcast(60 Songs that Explain the 90's) and talk about his new book of the same name.

I urge you to click the link and give his podcast a chance, I promise you, you wont be disappointed and you'll probably fall down the rabbit hole like I did.

His book is available everywhere and I'm going to make it easy on you but giving you a link to his website you can find out more about this amazing author/podcaster

Darren's got a new book out and he was gracious enough to guest on the show and tell us all about it.

If you are a Van Halen fan or a Dave fan, you are going to love this book and if not, you'll still probably love the book because of Darren's writing style.

Here is the link to purchase the book ahead of schedule
