Ep. 01
It was the first of many! Inspired by Season 3, Episode 1 of the Are We Better Friends Yet? Podcast - The art of interviewing – Nick and Christel brought one of that podcast’s hosts, Dianne van Giersbergen, onto Sonic Onslaught. Dianne is a singer Nick has been a fan of since her Xandria days, and questions about that era do come up, in particular a long-running curiosity about the song ‘Ship of Doom’. However, the bulk of the conversation was about her solo career, which was, at that time, only just beginning. This interview was also just the beginning, and it shows, as Nick and Christel were still trying to find their footing while dealing with the amazing, whirlwind personality that is their guest. It was, and is, an amazing piece of history, and the throughline by which everything else follows.
