Bryan and Chris discuss alienation and its role in bringing people into metal and also how metal can alienate metalheads from others. Why is metal so scary and off-putting to those who don't know and understand it? Why is there such a stigma for metalheads? Why do people think we are scary or unintelligent or dirty? The professors also talk about the role of the Satanic Panic and the oft-repeated notion that metal is dead.

This time around, Bryan has been listening to Ozzy, and Chris has been listening to Adrenaline Mob and Thank You Scientist.
