Back at Iron Key to discuss life's happenings

5/1/2021

 
We enjoyed our session broadcasting from the mobile podcasting studio in the parking lot at Iron Key Brewing Company. Iron Key is located in what used to be "The Big House." Yes, it was a North Carolina prison. The solitary confinement cells were taken and it was just too windy outside to record. So we confined ourselves into a bit more luxury in the van. Take a listen.
