John and David share their monthly "Top 10 Hottest Artists of the Moment" list! This isn't some arbitrary list, folks. These artist picks are based on a variety of factors including their current book sales, industry "buzz", and production pulled from several different online and in print sources. Not enough for you? The guys also get into the art of New #1s, John’s life after Grey, and the podcast gets a 5th listener!
