Chew the Gristle with Greg Koch!
Greg is an entertaining guy and great player. He formats the show kind of like a conversation, which works until you have been listening for awhile and heard all of his stories/complaints/comments over and over again. He sets up his question, answers his own question, then we get to listen to the guest.
