Hey all,
I know most of you have noticed, but I'm making some changes to the "Chris Akin" brand, such as it is. For awhile now, I've wanted to get back to talking more about music than I've been able to, so I started branching things out. I think that branching is complete now. Going forward, you will be getting as much of me as you can stand, including:
The Classic Metal Show - nothing changes there.
Aftershocks Tremors - Matt Hartnett and I are going to start doing more of a weekly-ish podcast talking about industry stuff, such as we've been doing on occasion the past few months. We both like doing it, and are going to make a go of that.
Talk Toomey (Presented by Knotfest.com) - I'm pleased to announce that Joshua Toomey has asked me to be his co-host on the Knotfest-sponsored platform. Not quite sure what all that entails yet, but we'll be offering some commentary, polls, etc. This will start, I think, in January. I won't be participating in the interviews though, because...
Chris Akin Presents - basically I'll be rebranding what has been called CMS MUSIC w/CHRIS AKIN and before that AFTERSHOCKS TV. This is where I'll be doing interviews with various musicians every week.
There's a lot going on as I grow the various things I'm doing.
There's also two other projects that I'm working on, but aren't quite there to announce yet.
Needless to say, I'm always humbled that anyone cares about anything I'm doing, so thank you if you are one of those that do care.

The World Series has been fire, and Neeley and Chris are stoked about the action! They're giving their hot takes on the baseball madness. But hold onto your hats, because they also sit through a clip of JP Saxe's attempt at singing "O Canada," and the results are cringeworthy. If you love baseball and hate awful singing, this one's for you. Share the pain with your friends and hit that follow button!
