Twin Terrors Macabre Manor of Mead Metal and Mayhem

Welcome to the first of what will assuredly be many Deep Purple episodes.  In this episode, the Terrors focus on the Mark 1 line-up, starting from their formation in 1968 (although the story starts in 1967), through three studio albums, and ending in 1969.  Enjoy!

Continuing on in our mead trilology!   Last time we spoke about the Celts, but here we'll touch a bit on the Norse, Anglo-Saxon, and Germanic peoples and their mead folklore and tales, as well as filling in a few small gaps from the last episode.  So sit back with your drink of favor and enjoy!

Welcome to the New Year!  We thought we'd start the year (well, based on most people's thoughts of the new year -- ours starts at sun down on October 31st) the same way we started the podcast.  With Tolkien!

This is the first of a few episodes where we discuss J.R.R. Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories."  We get a bit into his thoughts, but also into ours and how the essay relates to current themes in movies/literature/things.  In this episode, we cover the first two sections: "Fairystory" and "Origins."  Next episode, we'll cover section three "Children."
