Join 2me for Feckin' Animals Episode 1, featuring anecdotes and facts about our noisy neighbours, Seagulls. You've seen them in your parks, your towns and your beaches - but did you know how controversial and clever Seagulls are?

The Arc sails on with Episode 2.5, where you'll hear Melissa, Uncle Steve, and Ry, discuss the two least popular Black Sabbath albums of the original Ozzy era. Are these albums unfairly bashed in Sabbath circles? Should the band have hung it up at this point? Also hear the story of Ozzy's exit, return, and second exit from the band within the space of 18 months, told from multiple different perspectives. Never say die!

It's #ArcSabbath Episode 2.0, where you'll hear from a broad range of guests, discussing some of the most interesting and creative Black Sabbath albums ever, including: Vol. 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and Sabotage. This episode also features Uncle Steve's top 8 original Sabbath album rankings. All this and more and the Arc sails on!

This month on The Feckin' Check-In, we provide updates on stories from Episode 2 (M&Ms ad), and Episode 25 (dog shit). See what happens when a misunderstanding on Twitter escalates rather quickly, and will 2me ever get to the bottom of this filthy protest? We also discuss rapper DMX, the ever-changing culture of football, and bogus acronyms. Enjoy!

Well, I guess Hell froze over - The first official episode of #ArcSabbath is finally here! Featuring fans, pundits, and podcasters, discussing the original heavy metal behemoths - Black Sabbath! This episode is packed full of anecdotes, personal stories, and heavy metal wisdom. Stick around. You will not be disappointed!

Join us as we cover: "youths" dominating outdoor spaces; the return of concerts later this year; what to refer to your girlfriend as in your thirties; and a kernel of truth relating to the housing crisis - stolen from @davidmcw

In the final teaser episode for the Black Sabbath arc #ArcSabbath, you'll meet the familiar, yet controversial, Uncle Steve, and Joe Siegler, who is new to Feckin' Metal, but has greater insight into Black Sabbath than anyone on the planet! Steve teases an opinion on Tony Iommi vs. Randy Rhoads, while Joe tells stories that only someone with such strong ties to the Sabbath camp could! Things are about to get interesting...

Finally, the Black Sabbath arc is here. Sort of. This week, I tell my own Black Sabbath story and introduce some of the characters you'll be meeting over the next few weeks. In this episode, you'll hear from Philipp, Ry, Melissa, and Alejandra, who are all Black Sabbath fans, but with very different backgrounds! Over the next few weeks, they'll be sharing their experiences of the band, through a series of interviews I've conducted over the last several weeks! It's heavy riffs and zany characters from here on out, in #ArcSabbath!

I'm taking an open-ended break from Feckin' Football for a number of reasons (e.g. not sure if I'm adding value) and this episode is just a quick check-in to explain myself. Thank you to everyone who listened and also to the excellent guests. I'll be back on other podcasts or even this one (who knows!) - until then, cheers!

This week, I play some heavy metal earworms, and give you a bit of insight into my fandom of the bands featured. I also speak earnestly about my love for heavy metal! There's a bit of Neil young in here too, but not too much, don't worry. Oh, and there are some interruptions by the postman!
