Join Trish, Rob and Jon for a conversation with... Toren Atkinson has been a professional artist since 1996. He's created book covers, comic books, film production art, illustration for board, card & roleplaying games, album covers, tattoos, and T-shirt designs. Toren is also one of the founding members and the lead singer for the Canadian rock-n-roll/power-pop band, The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. Toren and lead guitarist Warren Banks formed the band in 1992. The band's name is drawn from a phrase in H.P. Lovecraft's story The Tomb: "I will tell only of the lone tomb in the darkest of the hillside thickets.” Atkinson and Banks decided to create a band around the Cthulhu mythos because it was a topic they were interested in, and it was a unique "niche that needed to be filled.” He has a former podcast called "Caustic Soda" and a current podcast called "Toren's Guide to Everything." Toren co-wrote the Spaceship Zero RPG with his bandmate Warren Banks and is currently working on a new RPG environment called Ruin Nation.

Caustic Soda’s Local Shakedown from 3/6/20.

Caustic soda is considered a major economic indicator for manufacturing, which is why its weaker pricing was among many indicators of economic slowdowns in China and Europe last year. Current market prices remain under pressure in all regions, amid global oversupply and lack of demand growth. Global Market Lead for polymers and editor Kristen Hays tells Ora Lazic about the events that led to this situation, as well as expectations and trends for 2020.

Joining us for this episode is Joe Fulgham from the always funny and sometimes grody podcast, Caustic Soda. If you've never heard or had the chance to listen to these guys you are blowing it.
