    The History of Metal

    What do Ludwig van Beethoven, Black Sabbath, and Lemmy Kilmister have in common? More than you think. In this episode of the Everyday History Podcast, we dive deep into the true origins of heavy metal, and it doesn’t start where you think it does. We’re tracing the genre all the way back to classical composers, through the blues, and into the gritty industrial streets of England where metal was forged. Along the way, we break down how distortion was accidentally invented, how a factory accident helped create the signature metal sound, and how bands like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple pushed rock to its absolute limits. We’ve also got a Personal Lore Time on the one and only Lemmy, plus a Top 5 list of insane metal facts you probably haven’t heard before. If you’ve ever wondered how we got from orchestras to headbanging… this is the episode for you. New episodes every week. Live recordings every Tuesday. Subscribe, follow, and turn it up.

    The Berserker at Stamford Bridge

    The True Story of the Berserker at Stamford Bridge (1066) In 1066, at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, a single Viking warrior reportedly held off an entire English army on a narrow wooden bridge—killing dozens before being brought down from below. But how much of this story is real, and how much is legend? In this episode of the Everyday History Podcast, we break down: What actually happened at the Battle of Stamford Bridge Who the “berserker” likely was, historically How medieval sources exaggerated (and agreed on) the event How long the Viking army had been away from home Why this moment is considered the symbolic end of the Viking Age And how the effects of this battle are still felt today in warfare, culture, and storytelling This isn’t a myth retelling—it’s a grounded, source-based look at one of history’s most famous last stands, and why we still talk about it nearly 1,000 years later. If you enjoy deep-dive history, last stands, Viking history, or separating historical fact from legend, this episode is for you.
