Twin Terrors Macabre Manor of Mead Metal and Mayhem

We're finally finishing up Led Zeppelin's LZ II era with information, background, trivia, and our takes on the songs.  Is there much more to be said here?  Probably, but we'll let the audio do the talking.

Back at the dawn of time, specifically last fall as we were starting the podcast, we recorded a very long episode on our favorite beers and beer styles.  It ended up being long enough to break down into four episodes!  Between that and then recording what we thought were more worthy episodes, it's just taken a while to produce these.  We now have them all ready to go, but are leaking them out a bit at a time.  We're kind of like Deep Throat in that way, but definitely not in others.  The other two will come out when they fit into our schedule.  This is definitely one of the most laid back episodes we've done, so it's best enjoyed sitting back with a nice pint of ale and a shot of Malort, along with an understanding that we were even more novice then, than we are now.  Slainte and wassail! 

Questions, comments, scathing remarks?

James took a trip to Nova Scotia a few months ago and loved it so much that he wanted to talk about it.  Jody was definitely good with the idea, considering the number of listeners we have in this wonderful province.  If you've ever thought about taking a trip, maybe James will convince you to go to New Scotland, Canada!

Welcome to another holiday special from the Terrors!  We talk about what we do on Burns Night, which is January 25th of every year (this year it's a Saturday!) to celebrate Scotland's wonderful poet Robert Burns.  We know, we could've released this the day before, but we wanted to give you a week's notice so you could do your own planning.  Aren't we swell?

Recorded live together, so there may be some background noise.  Let us know if you like this format or not!  Get in touch with us at Podbean: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-4pksr-a17e1a

Welcome back to the Manor!  We left the old year with a Maiden beer review and we're welcoming the new with a Maiden beer review (almost).  Beer and metal, what a great way to leave and enter.  This time, you should all be able to easily join us in a pint, as we get into Iron Maiden's beer series with Sun and Steel.  We talk about the beer inspired by the song, the song itself, and who inspired the song - Miyamoto Musashi!  Look at us branching out!

Welcome back to the Led Zeppelin fanboy podcast! We're still on the Brown Bomber album (II) and we're actually talking about the album: production, engineering, locations, and more!  (We'll get into the actual songs next time.)

A special wish for John Paul Jones to have a happy birthday!  He turns 74 today (January 3rd, 1946). Also, Jimmy Page will be 76 in less than a week (January 9th, 1944).  Huzzah!

Welcome back to the Manor and our continuation of that awesome congruence of metal and beer!  This time we talk about Iron Maiden's Red 'N' Black porter and the song from which the name is taken.  What a great way to end the year!  Hopefully you've all found a bottle to enjoy while you listen.

Welcome to the first of probably many Wild Hunt episodes!  The Hunt is especially active this time of year, as we discussed in one of last year's Yule time episodes.  Here, we regale you with true stories of the Hunt from recent folk tales, to keep in the spirit of ghost stories around Christmas time.  Plus, our usual jocularity.

Continuing our annual Christmas ghost story theme!  We hope you enjoy M.R. James (it's the 100th anniversary of his story "The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance) and Neil Gaiman (it's the 30th anniversary of "Nicholas Was..." We certainly did.  Plus, you get some context.  Context!  Context of the era in which M.R. James was writing.  Plus some more expounding on Jerome K Jerome's work that we mentioned last year, including why you should start smoking your pipe more often.  So light your pipe and pour your pint (or perhaps just a nice glass of whiskey punch) and let's get our Christmas scare on.

Welcome to the Led Zeppelin fan boy podcast!  Now on episode 482 (it feels like according to some of our listeners evidently -- too bad -- suck it!).  Here we talk about those wonderful women who kept the boys in the band semi-sane.  In this episode, it's a lot of Jimmy and Miss Pamela (pictured), but there is more than that.
