I wrote some technical documents for my day job. The company later brought in a high dollar consultant. That guy submitted a document that was three times the size of mine and he claimed to have done it in a week when it took me three months. 1/3

I'm not against masked bands. I'm a fan, until the industry starts using anonymity to exploit hungry musicians. Unmasked: Which Metal Bands Are Artists And Which Are Frauds? Episode 244 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, links in replies!

I'm relatively new to Hardcore so who better to teach me the history than one of the pioneers, Roger Miret of Agnostic Front!? Roger is talking history, what he thinks of today's hardcore bands, and their new album Echoes in Eternity on ep 243 of HMP, links in replies!

Why are metalheads hostile towards rap? There's an obvious answer, but that's not interesting. I explore some of the other reasons in episode 242 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, links in replies!

Being a podcaster is like having a disagreement with your wife. A couple days after the episode airs you kick yourself and think "I should have said it this way!!" 😩😆

Wasn't expecting this milestone for another month or two. But this week's episode blowing up shot me across the line. Thank you everyone. Any suggestions for how we commemorate?

I saw these kids pull a stunt at a Behemoth concert that stole the night and forever etched into my memory. One of the most punk things I've ever seen. Now years later they are blowing up and I got to reminisce with them on episode 239 of HMP, links in replies!
