Back in 1999, Fabio conducted a 24-minute interview with the late great Pan Sonic on Strength Through Failure, but he never aired it because the 2 Finns were cursing mercilessly. It was funny and showed a side of them that most people never got to see or hear… until now! Hear the entire unexpurgated interview here.
