We are back and it has been a minute (two weeks in fact). I have a very special treat tonight for everyone. My long time friend, Justin Beahm, is my guest. He a brand new project called Phantom Lightkeeper that just released a debut album called Shore Ghosts. It has to be my favorite release of the year that was not put out by Captain Three Leg. Justin has merged the perfect mix of surreal soundtrack music with surf rock and believe me when I say he shreds and sends chills down your spine at the same time. When we booked this interview I had no idea how special it would be. His playlist alone carries a lot of meaning.

Meant to post this the morning before the anniversary show but I misplaced the thumb drive that this show on it. Iowa Basement Tapes started on 98.9 KFMG here in Des Moines. We have had the same time slot since since 2018: 9PM Thursdays. We have since syndicated out west with Siouxland Public Media on KWIT in Sioux City and KOJI in Okoboji.

Station Manager Gary has been occasional co-host over the years and was the first person to believe in what this show could be.  Thank you to all of you who have supported this show over the years. I don't see a time in the future that this show will ever stop. I might stop because I am only mortal. But somethings become bigger than ourselves.

PS I realize it's ACTUALLY the show's 7th anniversary and not the 6th. But I already deep into saying it was our 6th and just rolled with it.

Ben Smasher returns! Tonight we pay tribute to my dear friend Barron Christian. Ben reached out about doing a show with me where he ask questions about Barron and tell stories.

We are so back! Last week we only had a radio broadcast with no podcast release. My long time friend and long time listener to the show, Barron Christian, passed away last Monday. Like KFMG station manager, Gary Monte, Barron has periodically contributed to the show whether it be sending me audio messages, hosting listening parties and reviewing the show in real time by via text message. So last week I took a beat and only did a radio broadcast with the re-airing of episode #100.
