This is a rebroadcast of my interview with Bruce Bickford, from August of 2018 (originally Ep. 22), who passed away a few months ago. This episode includes the complete original interview and its musical interludes*, plus a minor tribute and a new original song for Bruce, not heard in the first broadcast. *The second two interludes are excerpts of songs from the album Wayward Doctrine, by Father Howl.
