It's Cold

Recorded on a brutally cold March day in Saskatoon (real feel around -31°C), Chris talks about why the cold makes it hard to think about anything else. It's also his son Mason's birthday, and coincidentally the 30th anniversary of U2's The Joshua Tree. Chris digs into U2's newly announced deluxe/anniversary reissues of The Joshua Tree — a 7-LP box set, a 4-CD super deluxe edition, and a more affordable 2-CD deluxe set — and wrestles out loud with whether the pricing feels like a fair collector's offering for fans or more of a cash grab, while acknowledging bands have every right to sell premium editions and merch. He also touches on the mental and emotional side of keeping up a near-daily podcast — how anxiety can make it hard to even hit record — and wraps up with thanks to Patreon supporters and a look ahead to rebuilding the Goodstuff.FM back end.
