Thompson was secretly a snuff film director, and Garret gives a stirring, heartfelt eulogy for Bobby Powell, his hometown conspiracy theorist that he both loved, and hated, on near-equal levels.

Do you like FREE stuff? Do you like sustainable, DIY-inspired movements and communities that offer, among other things, FREE stuff? Garret sure does, which is why he's talking with Mika Reed, one of the organizers of the Grand Rapids Really Really Free Market. They discuss what exactly a Really Really Free Market is, how to best prepare one, and Mika details some of their favorite items they have come across these past two years. They also briefly discuss the current status of the Grand Rapids Food Co-Op.

Record Store Day may have officially come and gone, but it's ALWAYS Record Store Day at Dodds Record Shop! Garret chats with its owner, Reverend Charles Preston Smith, about his personal history in music - from his obsession with 80's metal to the founding of the PotatoeBabies -, the various transitions and stages of the shop itself, including it's pre-World War II days to the shop and museum it is today, what he looks for in records and memorabilia, and Garret shows off his amazing negotiation skills by haggling with the good Reverend over the price of a Justin Bieber alarm clock!
NOTE: Because nothing can ever be perfect, there is a slight buzz in the background of the recording. I have tried my best to fix this. I have no idea how this happened, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with all the cursed Neil Diamond albums that inhabit the shop - Love, Garret
