"Like all regular Holy Roar Podcast listeners I was gutted when Maz began his hiatus when he hit episode 50. So I got proactive and sent the Holy Roar team over a pilot of my own to see if I could follow in his footsteps and be the new host. They were game and now hopefully you lot will be game too. Over the next few months I’ll be interviewing a stack of bands and music industry types; it’ll be ace, nonstop ace I tell ya. In this pilot you can hear a young James Spence from Rolo Tomassi talk about the Hysterics album, also, I will let you in on some secrets of how not to be a journalist and also give you a rundown of my picks for Download Festival 2018." - Paul

The head honcho of Big Scary Monsters Kevin Douch sits down with Mazz and discuss how the label began along with Kev’s early days in Oxford's music scene. Kev answers listener's questions which cover a huge array of topics including about how the industry will change, how he got to work with Andrew WK and the controversies that happened with PWR BTTM earlier this year.

They discuss the pros and cons of being a ‘merch’ band and how this lead them to being on some fantastic tours, including Every Time I Die, The Devil Wears Prada and Shai Hulud.
