#Brisbane2032: 78 Amped Brisvegas legend Max Higgins joins the PHAT team to drink craft and talk chords

We're honoured to have Max Higgins - host of Australia's best music pod 78 Amped & Hot Singles in Your Local Area - join us on the podwaves to share in a good brew chat, and countdown our favourite albums from the 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s. Being the youngest all of us, we're thankful he didn't talk Gen Y lingo to us, otherwise we would have looked right-geeze. I think he went easy on us.

We're in f-ing lockdown still and so we thought we would dedicate an episode to finding the silver lining of lockdowns: what you can do in one, what awesome movies have been made about prison, and Phil, er, for some reason countsdown Prison Break (the show) characters. Plus we have some STELLAR beers to drink, er except for Adzo. Good times.
