Weird Al Yankovic is scheduled to come to town next year, but we aren’t going to be able to go. No one is more upset than Amanda, but Tim and Rick wouldn’t have minded a good concert either.

The Pandemic Guitar Podcast celebrates their two year anniversary by bringing on one of their favorite listeners and contributors back to the microphone to guest host this episode.

Tim and Rick visit the more technical side of guitar building during this episode. As they dig in a little deeper into building a neck they talk about tuners. They don’t have to cost a whole lot of money to be good. They also talk about the difficulties of podcasting. Tim realizes that there is more to our podcast than most deal with. Instead of paying a monthly fee for another company to host the RSS feed, he does it internally by doing his own hosting. Tim steals the next pick for the Wheel of Musicians due to an upcoming concert, and finally the two spend some time talking about what to expect over the next few episodes.

It’s a rant towards the end and that venue will not be getting much love for the hosts of the Pandemic Guitar Podcast in the future.
This episode is all about the simple question: Is Smashing Your Guitar Even Cool Anymore?
