Longtime What’s This Called? cohost and webhost Austin Rich and his wife Marla suffered a horrible theft on Christmas day while moving and were robbed of several thousand dollars of possessions including computers and all of Austin’s recording equipment. I’ll post the link below to the fundraising site where our community is banding together to try to help recoup some small portion of their losses.

Meanwhile in What’s This Called? land, the show must go on, and I’ve decided to close out the grim reaper year of 2016 with a special tribute to Yet Another Pope Austin Rich called What’s This METAL?
