On today's episode of LET THERE BE TALK my guest is Robin McRoskey Azevedo owner of one of the greatest Mattress Companies in the world. McRoskey has been making Mattresses by Hand in San Francisco since 1899. I know most of you are thinking who cares about a Bed well considering you spend a major part of your life in bed you are gonna wanna listen to this episode. I toured the factory and saw first hand how these beds are made and it was amazing to see the Old School Craftsmanship that goes into making these Mattresses. This company is part of San Francisco's history and I think you will love Robins story. Happy 4th of July.

Today on LET THERE BE TALK my guest is the incredible Riff Master himself Mr.Bill Kelliher of Mastodon. It was an honor to talk to Bill a few weeks back before soundcheck at their NYC show in Coney Island.Bill and I cover all kinds of ground including Songwriting,Music Business,Guitars and of course their new record Emperor Of Sand and the new EP Cold Dark Place which is shaping up to be one their all time best if you ask me. Over the last few years Mastodon has become one of my all time favorites. This band constantly pushes the envelope and takes chances  never putting out the same record twice. I highly recommend you start with the latest EP and work your way back thru their 17 year career. Make sure you catch Mastodon on tour all summer. Candles Lit.
