Chat out of Hell is back to go where other podcasts won't - in this case, to Jim Steinman's very first musical creation.

This episode we dive into the Dream Engine - produced at Amherst College in 1969, burning a trail through rock and roll history for the rest of time. Our interepid duo dive deep into this murky sea, providing the answers to questions like:

- What sort of socially aware theatre would a bunch of naive teens in Scarborough produce?

- How much does Emma know about Arnaud's theatre of cruelty?

- Are there any actually good songs in this one?

PLUS all the good sundry nonsense including hefty amounts of excitement about going to see the Bat musical and a good bit about anniversary presents.
