Greg and Diz of Aviator Stash stopped by the studio on February 11th for this podcast. I spent a solid couple hours getting the room ready for podcast mode and then forgot to hit Record on the laptop! So the audio is a little rough on this one.

But if you're looking for some good audio check out Aviator Stash on YouTube or wherever you stream music. Their brand new album, PSIYH, is an exciting, diverse blend of awesomeness.
