Episode 72 - Mascots in Music

Eddie, Vic Rattlehead, Snaggletooth, Korgull the Exterminator, The Not Man, Sargent D. -- what is the purpose of a mascot in music?  What makes a mascot good, and what makes one bad?  Why does it seem like mascots only appear in metal music?  In this episode we examine a few mascots in metal and try to figure out why they exist, and if they are an important part of the bands they represent.

We also dive into some listener emails and delve further into what is now being called "The Vader Epidemic," as well as reveal a major twist in the story of the multiple Kyles.
