On this week's episode, Dan has to learn how to be a real host while Adela is on vacation. He chats with Brandon Durden from the alt-metal, post-grunge band By Design about their new EP “Permanent Measures”, writing more personal lyrics, and hard rock's place in Chicago.

Then he fanboys out over progressive rock music with some new prog rockers Spooky Boo, as they talk about how you don't need a prog rock background to make beautiful prog music.
