Welcome to Episode 60 of StarkCast! Call me Van Peebles, son, cause i'm going Solo on this episode. If you get that joke, then good for you: You've seen a terrible movie. This episode is probably just as bad, but less entertaining as I manage to ramble on for over 30 minutes. I talk about some TV shows and online gaming that I've been digging lately, I talk a little about setting up a home gym to get back into a solid fitness routine, I rant about a few things, and I read a pile of iTunes review...

Welcome to Episode 59 of StarkCast! I sat down with my grandfather, Alfred Stark, and he told me some of his stories. I grew up listening to some of these and even got to hear a few new ones! This episode really means a lot to me and I am very happy that it was able to come together! Note - The audio on this one will sound a little different than my usual episodes. I recorded this on a Tascam DR-40 using the intergral mics on the unit. It turned out pretty good but can definitely be a little ech...
