Customer Reviews
A Fascinating Behind-the-Scenes Look at Metal, Craft Beer
Do you love life, metal and craft beer? Then look no further because this is the podcast for you!
Matt is by far one of the hardest working people in the metal community. He has interviewed over 200 different musicians, brewers, producers, tour managers and many other wonderful human beings in just over two years! Now that is one of the many reasons I think no one is doing it better than he is.
The Vox & Hops Metal Podcast has something for everyone. Whether you are a metal head, a craft beer connoisseur or you just have a general interest in learning more about how the music industry works, how brewers come up with their crazy ideas or you just want to hear some insane stories from your favourite artists, then this is a podcast you will enjoy very much. My question is why haven’t you tuned in yet?
With three episodes released every week the Vox & Hops Metal Podcast is something perfect to crack open a craft beer to and just relax. I’m always learning something new from Matt and his guests and I can never be patient enough for the next episode to drop.
Besides the podcast Matt created the Vox & Hops Thirsty Thursday Virtual Hang where every Thursday fellow Vox & Hops Heads gather virtually to enjoy life, metal and craft beer. Once a month he even joins himself to record a live interview that you can also be a part of! If that’s not enough there’s a private Facebook group and Discord server dedicated to everything that this podcast and Matt is about. Without all these extras, 2020 and the global pandemic would have been an even harder thing to deal with than it already was.
With all that said I raise my glass to the Chief Matt McGachy and the Vox & Hops Metal Podcast. This is something you don’t want to miss out on!
