Anthony Fantano

from KINDA NEAT · host Lee Shaner

This week we talked to “the Internet's busiest music nerd,” Anthony Fantano. The man behind The Needle Drop has become a trusted source for album reviews. Holding a conversation with him proves he's just as passionate about music as he seems on video. This man is really a talker, had to reel him in a few times. We caught up with Anthony while he was in LA and talked about his college radio career, his dad's power lifting, and slow motion moshing to drone metal. –Lee

Hephaestus Research Station, currently on Day 448 of its orbit around red dwarf star Wolf 359. He's stuck on a scientific survey mission of indeterminate length, 7.8 light years from Earth. His only company on board the station are stern mission chief Minkowski, insane science officer Hilbert, and Hephaestus Station's sentient, often malfunctioning operating system Hera. He doesn't have much to do for his job other than monitoring static and intercepting the occasional decades-old radio broadcast from Earth, so he spends most of his time creating extensive audio logs about the ordinary, day-to-day happenings within the station. But the Hephaestus is an odd place, and life in extremely isolated, zero gravity conditions has a way of doing funny things to people's minds.
