After spending 5 episodes voicing his own takes, it's high time to get some other perspectives: \"Weird Al\" Yankovic, actor/ documentarian Alex Winter, and Zappa band member Mike Keneally.</p><p><br></p><p>Each of these guests share their first encounters with Zappa's music, the ways he influenced their lives, and they even offer advice on which album should be your first.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Alex Winter</strong> is presently in the midst of assembling the Zappa documentary to end them all. We hear how he gained unprecedented access to the Zappa vault and how this Kickstarter-record-breaking production is preserving priceless pieces of music history.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Mike Keneally </strong>shares memories from being brought into Zappa's 1988 band as a guitar wunderkind, working alongside the master, and elaborates on the controversial, forthcoming Zappa hologram tour.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>\"Weird Al\" Yankovic</strong> took a break from his <a href=\"https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/10/weird-al-yankovic-announces-the-ridiculously-self-indulgent-ill-advised-vanity-tour/\" target=\"_blank\">Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour</a> to share how Zappa became one of his earliest and most influential influences and discuss his now classic Zappa parody/ tribute, \"Genius In France\".</p><p><br></p><p>Marc also brings this season to a close by dipping into the mailbag to share listener letters and comments - not to mention holding himself accountable for a few errors in previous episodes.
