    EP 589 - Invincible March

    I was going to title this one March Metal Madness, for some reason Invincible March just resonated more with me.
    Anyway, this week we discuss some current metal topics.
    Obviously the latest metal masterpiece from Priest for one along with some Bruce Dickinson, Slayer, Skid Row, “The Other Voice of Ratt” and a potential shakeup at Frontiers.

    And as always Focus On Metal…Everything Else is Insignificant.

    EP 586 - A Hair Journey

    Metal Mike host of the 80’s Glam Metalcast joins us this week to discuss, of all things, 90’s hair metal.
    Yep, you read that right. Mike recently published “A Hair Metal Journey” which takes you through hair metal from 86 to 91.
    The book is both Mike's journey and the story of the artists.
    So based on that Richie decided to press further into the 90’s with Mike. Cuz why not.

    And as always Focus On Metal…Everything Else is Insignificant.

    EP 585 - Playing Favorites

    Few things stir up more of a crap show online than when someone attempts to discuss their favorite albums (or anything) of the year on social media.
    You aren’t declaring the best album it’s your favorite. It’s a choice that’s as unique to your personal taste as your favorite ice cream.
    This week we talk about some of our “gasp” favorites from last year and also a bit about this whole opinion culture on social media.

    And as always Focus On Metal…Everything Else is Insignificant.

    EP 584 - Diamond Dave

    This week we welcome author and podcast host Darren Paltrowitz to the show. Darren just published “DLR Book- How David Lee Roth Changed The World”.
    An excellent book and hopefully you’ll want to grab a copy after hearing our lengthy chat.
    Before that Richie and Scott have a bit of a chat on the recently departed Tony Clark and James Kottak.
    For many long time listeners you know how much involvement James has had with FoM over the years so this one really hit home.

    And as always Focus On Metal…Everything Else is Insignificant.

Great Show & Ideas

Big fan of the show. If you could do a Strange Highways-type feature on other rock albums, that would be great. Thanks

Great show for intelligent rock chat

Listened to my first show this week.
Great show - the chat about non rock fans wearing t shirts and people having a few token rock CDs struck a chord.
Was weird hearing Richie from Ireland on a this station, didn't expect it but as a fellow Irish man I understood his references - especially the DLR gig years ago - I thought I was the only one at that show - so we must have been at the same shows back in the day.
Keep em coming!
