Pretty Good

The main point of difference for this show is the inclusion of female voices and perspectives, which is VERY rare in Hard Rock & Metal podcasting. It’s been a while since any contributed, though, and upon hearing the latest knucklehead debut just now, my request is to bring back the ladies, please!
