This Was The Scene Podcast

This week I’m doing something slightly different by interviewing Doug Robinson of the Sleeping.

This would also be a good time to mention that there are only 2 episodes left of Season 1 before I take a tiny break and launch season 2 where I already have a ton of interviews in the cue. I’ll tell you more about that in the next 2 episodes. For now, here is what Doug and I spoke about:  His sister making him learn how to dance to Selena Getting shit on by people for liking Pennywise
