CMG’s 87th podcast, lovingly crafted for your frigid morning commute and/or equally frigid afternoon errands and/or late evening “fuck this, I’m crawling into bed and listening to music” plans, is dedicated to a very special deadline extension. One very close to our hearts.

Our second, possibly annual, Fantasy Covers Contest was set to end a couple of Fridays from now—February 18th. But we’ll do you a whole two weeks better than that: we’ll now be accepting submissions right up until Friday, March 4th. Because…well, let’s just say it’s because we like you.

To celebrate, we give you this mostly uplifting and hopefully Fantasy Covers-inspiring podcast. With much love to all of the artists and labels involved, enjoy:
