We look at his childhood in South Africa and how it may have allowed him to lay the ground work to produce whomever he wanted, we take a look at some of the big projects he worked on through the 80s and 90s, and we take very uneducated guesses at whether we have seen the last of Mutt Lange in the music industry.
In the conclusion of our series on the queen of country, Shania Twain, we look at her career from the time she fired her friend Mary Bailey from her management position to current day.

Plus we all try to finish the episode while were all falling asleep at the wheel. It's a real blast!
