SlapperCast Episode 251: "Rest in Peace, Shane"
This episode was recorded during our 20 hour drive out to Arizona, when we found out about the passing of the legendary Shane MacGowan, lead singer and primary songwriter of the Pogues. There can be little doubt that without Shane, Blaggards would not exist.
