It's Punk Rock Raduno season so of course I had to get Franz back on to chat all about it. He comes equipped with new tunes from The Windowsill and Kody you-know-who. Schwing!

2022 is just about over and that means two things - Christmas parties and top ten lists and I really don't care for either, unless John Proffitt Jr. is involved. Who's playing the party?
