Because What This Show Needed Was… Expo

Tonight on Your Dark Companion, Mike Rhyner and Shoopy welcome local legend, chaos coordinator, music scene archaeologist, and human wildcard Kevin Fox — better known as Expo. This episode has everything: Stories from a life lived at full volume, the kind of Dallas music history that never made the press releases, and maybe just a little therapy disguised as a conversation. Mike tries to understand Expo. Shoopy tries to wrangle Expo. Expo… just tries. Whether you know him, think you know him, or have only heard the stories, brace yourself — this one’s an instant classic. Laugh, cringe, reminisce… and then question why you listened to all of it.
