Welcome to this very special episode of Life In The Stocks with my dear old Jaret Reddick from Bowling For Soup. I've known Jaret for ten years, since the Kerrang! Radio days, and he's one of my best friends in the music business. It's been six years since we last did an interview together, so we had an awful lot of ground to cover, and we got deep into it. People have been asking me when is Jaret going to make an appearance on the podcast ever since I launched the show in 2017, and believe me when I say it's been well worth the wait. This is one of the most honest, open & vulnerable podcast conversations you will ever hear. It's one of my all-time favourite episodes. Thank you to Jaret for being such a great guest and a great friend. I hope you find this talk as inspiring and life-affirming as I did.Life In The Stocks is sponsored by Radical Clothing.

From one member of Against Me! to another this week, drummer Atom Willard joins me for Episode 216 of Life In The Stocks as we attempt to cover a significant chunk (there was no way we were ever going to cover all of it) of the project he's been involved in over the years, from Rocket From The Crypt and The Special Goodness to Angels & Airwaves and Against Me! Like many of the best drummers out there - Josh Freese, Joey Castillo, Ilan Rubin - Atom is insanely prolific and has played with so many great bands. It was cool to pick his brain and hear his unique perspective on all the bands that he's played in. Life In The Stocks is sponsored by Radical Clothing.
