It's a most glorious day because we have one of the all-time greats of nerdcore hip hop, Schaffer the Darklord! This will not be an origin story episode, but we will look back on different points of Schaffer's extensive career, what he thinks of his old music and the current generation of nerdcore, The Department of Darkness, life in New York City, pro wrestling, burlesque, touring through blizzards, and more.
