"I have been interviewing people I grew up with and or admired for over a year now. I love it, meeting people you look up to can suck. But so far I have not ran into that aspect of an interview. I am starting from when I moved to NYC and interviewing who I hung around with in the 80s and early 90s. Asking people what they did in school for grades, had they had plans to do what they are now etc.
This is all vocal and my wife adds photos to the audio and eventually hopefully we will do video. It is hard especially some are phone conversations. So, I do not think I have a light at the end of the tunnel with people I want to interview. I got my all time favorite person and my wife said "what now".....Ill just have to go bigger. Email me if you have any suggestions. thanks for listening." -TobyOne

Really felt this interview. I love the honesty Smelly has and to have the strength to change your life around for the better, makes my hair stand on my arms.

I liked this before it even started. After the "Drinks With Johnny" podcast and obviously "The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories" I've really been wanting to hear more about Erik. Thank you, Toby. :).

Hey Toby, have you done any podcast with Millencolin? Their story would be really interesting. Or anybody from the Burning Heart label.

[@glucosaminecondroitan9135]

I read Hepatitis Bathtub and it's even better to hear the story from Erik's voice.

Toby, did you ever get around to finding out that that the Asexuals later on became The Doughboys?
