In this episode, guest host Eiddwen, a 3CR volunteer, takes us through a complete play-through of the bluegrass, punk-rock, soul duo Truckstop Honeymoon's debut album Diamonds in the Asphalt with commentary and memories.

Originating from the rich music of New Orleans, Katie and Mike West chronicle all that is strange about life and going through the motions armed with a wash-tub bass and banjo.

Listeners should be advised the album references heavier issues such as addiction and mental health. If this brings up anything, please reach out to the following lines:
