I am enjoying Scott Haskin's podcast called The Magician’s Podcast Fan Podcast Endorsed by Uriah Heep. Scott brings a unique personal perspective to each individual song played chronically by song order of each album. The beauty of Uriah Heep is that they have a large catalog of songs. They also released many expanded versions of their songs. The early albums were re-released with added bonuses. Scott plays all the different versions. He approaches each song as a fan but as a music professional with industry experience. If your ears want to experience something magical and entertaining Scott Haskin is your man.

Tammy and the T-Rex

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. Tammy and the T-Rex was released a year after Jurassic Park. The movie is so bad that it is good. You could say it is the only movie featuring a love story between a teenage girl and a robot dinosaur.
