Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk by guest is the incredible Byron Katie.

Byron was 43 with three children and unhappily married to her second husband. She suffered from depression, agoraphobia, overeating and addiction to codeine and alcohol. She called her insurance company for help, and was referred to Hope House in Los Angeles a women's counseling center.

After two weeks at the house, she reportedly experienced an epiphany in her thinking which created a way for her to challenge and lessen the harmful effects of long-held beliefs. She credited the epiphany, which became known as "The Work" for a subsequent weight loss and other reductions in bad habits.

Byron has helped so many people in this world and maybe she can help you. 

I hope you guys enjoy this episode I know it's a little different from what you are used to but I feel it's important to constantly keep the show growing in all directions.

When Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age, Slipknot and Alice In Chains want to make records chances are they're calling Evil Joe Barresi.

Joe moved out to Los Angeles many years ago and started his career at the world famous Sound City recording studio as a Tape Machine operator and the rest is history.

Joe's resume is insane. If a band is heavy and the real deal Joe has probably worked with them.

Visit his website http://www.joebarresi.com and lose your mind at all of the albums he has worked on.

This is a fantastic deep dive talk about the recording process of some of your favorite albums.

Today My good friend Josh Homme returns to the show for a long honest conversation on Music, Life and the Desert.

This man is one of the greatest ever to do it and is definitely a huge inspiration to me and it is an honor to call him my friend.

His music has fueled my drive since the first time I saw him a 100 years ago in Kyuss.

I really really enjoyed this conversation. It's what I live for.

Have a Fantastic week and do yourself a favor and reach out to an old friend of yours and have an old school conversation with them not on Email or Text.

In 1995 I stepped into the Fillmore in San Francisco and witnessed one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen by a man named Terence Trent D'Arby. Shortly after that concert that man disappeared from the music business or so I thought. Around 8 years ago I did a Google search and found out that he had changed his name and had been making music for years under his new name Sananda Maitreya.

I can't even tell you how excited I was to find all this music I hadn't heard.

Sananda released a new double album last Friday, March 19th 2021  called Pandora's Playhouse and it great.

Sanand was an absolute dream guest and I know you guys are going to dig this Honest conversation on all things Art.

Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk my guest is the legend Geoff Tate former Vocalist and Songwriter of Queensrÿche.

In 1983 a song came of the radio called Queen Of The Reich and the game changed. Immediately I went out and bought the Queensrÿche EP and never stopped listening to them.

Over the years Geoff and the band have written some of the best Metal records ever including their masterpiece Operation Mindcrime.

This mans vocals have inspired 1000's of singers over our time and I gotta say it was an absolute honer to have him on the show.

Geoff has a new record coming out in April with Sweet Oblivion called Relentless.

Tune In and keep the Candles Lit

Today one of my oldest friends stops by Mr Eric Peterson of Testament.

I fully believe that Eric is the most underrated Guitarist and Songwriter in the Thrash Metal scene. This man has been rocking in Testament for 35 years and also has a 2nd band called Dragonlord.

Testament's last release in 2020 Titans Of Creation is one of their heaviest in Years.

So much Metal History on this episode so tune in and enjoy.
