Some artists in the music industry never realize their full potential. We have heard of so many artists that never made it and we thought they would, or the ones that called it quits before making it big. It is not an easy thing to do, to realize what your potential is.

Back in 2023, we had a stoner metal band on the podcast releasing their second album, and it showed us what untapped potential there was for them. 2 years later, taking their recording to the next level, and adding a 4th member full time, not only has that potential been realized, but even more was discovered beyond that.

Zach returns and Adrian joins us from the first time from the stoner metal band Howling Giant. The band is releasing their third album, Crucible & Ruin, on October 31st. Join us as we spend the episode discussing:

- Recording Crucible & Ruin with a much more expanded idea of their stoner metal sound by using a more consistent and quicker pace, and how working with an outsid producer helped them level up their sound.


- The story behind Crucible & Ruin, and why the use of a demigod in mythology allows the listener to have an expanded imagination to where the album is leading us.


- Hot sauce, what is coming next from their personal creation, and when you can get some while the band is on tour.


A great check in with a band that met their expectations on new music, and showed so much more is still to come. Tap the subscribe button as we will keep going.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
