Welcome to Roon Soup, a podcast about magic, culture and the paranormal.

My name is Gordon and I shall be your host.

Enjoy.

Today on Roan soup we speak to Joshua Cutchin, author of Trojan Feast, and player of weird and unpopular musical instruments. Joshua, thank you very much for your time.

You're very welcome. It's a pleasure to be. Joshua, thank you very much for your time.

You're very welcome. It's a pleasure to be on one of my favorite podcasts. Well, that's really kind. It also means, you know,

seemed this is the way that the world should work. Well to be fair like I'm I'm looking at your Skype picture right now and you are playing a reasonably unpopular instrument.

So is that the kind of thing you meant?

You're literally dancing to your own drumbeat?

you know.

Being a self-chosen tuba player, you know as a young child I was into dinosaurs and monster movies which is probably the the

Favorite monster movie? how I wound up doing some of the things that I do now.

The first one I ever saw was the 1933 King Kong.

Oh, very nice.
