Rewind Episode: This Is Spinal Tap with Brant Hansen

2/3 of the Fine Beats team are either sick or have a sick kid, so this week, Fine Beats and Cheeses goes up to 11 as we bring you this hilarious Rewind Episode from October 2023 where we discussed the classic Rock Mockumentary, "This Is Spinal Tap" with our guest, author and radio host Brant Hansen. I think this episode has more instances of communal giggling than any other episode we have done. We talk this movie's hilarity and earnestness and just all-around wonderfulness.

Brant Hansen is a bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host on more than 150 stations. His podcast, with friend and show producer Sherri Lynn ("The Brant and Sherri Oddcast") has been downloaded more than 15 million times. Brant has written for the Washington Post and CNN.com, among many other outlets, and he was recently featured on ABC's Good Morning America. He lives in Jupiter with his wife Carolyn. They've been married for almost 35 years.
