Something very special happened on the night of Tuesday October 18th: I, Bröötalisk, earned my Metal Stripes (the secret ingredient is the blood of my enemies) by interviewing the legendary Mikael Akerfeldt.

A New Friend
By Program Review Committee | Published November 6th, 2011For the last 12 years I’ve been hosting radio programs at KZSC and I look forward to going much longer.
