Episode 282: Rob Urbinati - Sacrifice
Patreon Goodness In this episode I am joined by the legendary main man of Canadian thrash pioneers Sacrifice, Rob Urbinati. They released their latest album "Volume Six" earlier this year which I was tipped off about by Todd from Propagandhi (thanks Todd!) and its an absolute old school banger. Having both been around since the 80's we had a lot of common ground to cover and cover it we did, this is a long one and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. As always there is in depth coverage of the latest metal news afterwards, some of it interesting and some of it AI rubbish. This Is 50th Anniversary Box Set Bollocks. Kreator

That is why we talked for nearly wo hours. This Is Flashback Bollocks. Video

Episode 279: Peavy From Rage & Podcaster Dan Hudson
Patreon Good Stuff Is Here Two interviews in one episode? That's a throwback right?! For the first time in years I bring you a double header of interviews that could not be more different.

Then it's over to returning guest Dan Hudson who forms one half of the hugely successful podcast A Gay & A Non Gay. They were on over three years ago to talk about their Bloodstock experience. Well this time it's just Dan talking about getting the owners of Birmingham City airport to do the decent thing and change its name to Ozzy Osbourne Airport!

But first we needed to talk about Ozzy & Sabbath.As always I hack away at the tree of news including such branches as Megadeth, Body Count, System Of A Down, Ugly Kid Joe and Celine Dion!
