Gabba Gabba Huh?
Gabba Gabba Huh?
Mike Phillips
Welcome to the Gabba Gabba Huh? Podcast, featuring the best of The Carolinas' punk, alternative, hard rock, and heavy metal from the past 40 years. While the main podcast (Gabba Gabba Huh? Talks) will be more converstional and interview style, while "Gabba Gabba Huh? Radio" will focus on the music, with some background information on the songs and bands featured. Most songs will be digitized from original vinyl, cassette, or CD sources, thus the quality will vary, but will be rather true to the original form. Hosted by Mike Phillips from Van Huskins
Talks! Episode 88 - Christopher Bickel
In this episode, I welcome back Christopher Bickel, director of the upcoming film, Pater Noster and the Mission of Light. We touch on his time in bands such as In/humanity and Guyana Punchline, but mostly stay focused on his still in progress DIY horror movie this time around. We also talk about how thrifting has changed, the importance of buying physical media, the joys and pains of crowdfunding, and one pretty amazing soundtrack! https://www.paternostermovie.com/Songs for GGHT88 :In/Humanity - Burn it to the GroundPater Noster and the Mission of Light - An AgendaVisit Gabba Gabba  Records & Vintage Goods!

Talks! Episode 84 - Gary Ramsey
This week, Gary Ramsey paid a visit to the GGH Studio to talk about his nearly 50 years of playing music. Gary is one of a kind and a real hidden gem in the music scene, getting his inspiration by seeing Zeppelin in his teens, cutting his teeth on metal, moving to California and then walking back to North Carolina, a detour in prison after he got back, and America's Got Talent audition, and so many other stories, some of which you aren't gonna believe! Heck, I'm not sure Gary even believes them all!
