  1. St. Valentine's Day

    22H AGO

    St. Valentine's Day

    The Legend of St. Valentine,Long before heart-shaped candy and Hallmark cards, the story of Valentine’s Day was filled with rebellion, underground weddings, ancient Roman festivals, and a few legends that blur the line between myth and history. Who was Saint Valentine really? Why was love once considered an act of defiance? And how did we go from martyrdom to chocolate? We’ll trace the circuit from ancient Rome to modern romance, separating fact from folklore and uncovering how traditions evolved over centuries. It’s history, it’s culture, it’s a little bit rebellious… and yes, we’ll probably find a code analogy or two along the way. Grab your popcorn (or your favorite beverage) and join us live. Because you deserve a little spark. ❤️⚡♠️ @LarsVonRetrieverhttps://youtu.be/Rx9OoLwiAho?si=9xSwGYHrXcjXXo5rhttps://youtu.be/Z-IcTaUMbdg?si=9W8E8nL4Y3FxRR9Khttps://youtu.be/nFmKUuXZD_0?si=sX0rnXm1-c5cIogChttps://youtu.be/xZfLJCQFRUU?si=WwE-6baVqRUIGs_Rhttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/09olq4cpNbc6CRgDe5GzkA?si=8_riiTTAQ8C4iSxHmbfewA

  2. The Legends from the Rock

    FEB 15

    The Legends from the Rock

    In this episode, we step onto The Rock to explore the human side of Alcatraz — the guards who raised families there, the men who searched for hope behind concrete walls, the waves that never stopped crashing, and the idea that no lock lasts forever. Set against the thunder of the epic metal track “Turn of the Wheel” by Alcatrazz, this episode dives into something deeper than crime history. It’s about fate. Consequences. Redemption. And how life keeps moving — even when you feel stuck behind your own walls. Because the wheel always turns. Power rises. Power falls.Men are broken. Men are rebuilt.Prisons close. Legends live on. Alcatraz wasn’t just about confinement — it was about endurance. And sometimes, the island that isolates you… is the place that reveals who you really are. Welcome to The Rock.Let the wheel turn.

    Reaction to Ride the Lightning (Cover)

    In this quick-hit episode, I give my raw, no-filter reaction to Megadeth’s cover of Metallica’s “Ride the Lightning.”From the riffs to the feel, I break down what works, what hits different, and how it stacks up against the original thrash classic. This isn’t about picking sides — it’s about respect for the genre, the history, and what happens when legends reinterpret legends. Strap in. ⚡Because when Megadeth touches Ride the Lightning, sparks are guaranteed. Dave Mustaine didn’t need permission to cover “Ride the Lightning.”He just needed to play it better than you remembered.

    Iced out

    In this episode, The Willie Jackerson Experiment takes a measured look at the ICE Out movement—where it came from, what it represents, and why it has become a flashpoint in the broader national conversation on immigration enforcement, public safety, and civil liberties. Without slogans or soundbites, this episode explores the legal framework behind ICE operations, the arguments raised by critics and supporters alike, and how policy, enforcement, and community impact intersect in the real world. The goal isn’t to persuade, but to understand—by separating law, emotion, and consequence. Soundtracked by heavy, uncompromising metal—including tracks from Megadeth’s I Am War and epic selections like “Vikings – Warriors of Ice”—this episode delivers a powerful backdrop to a serious conversation, blending intensity with insight. No outrage. No spin. Just context, perspective, and hard discussion—set to badass metal. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/09olq4cpNbc6CRgDe5GzkA?si=ed3kg4ArT3Khb_sQ6CMVkg

  6. Children of the Sun

    Children of the Sun

    This week on The Willie Jackerson Experiment, we turn our eyes to the sky and crank the volume all the way up — because today’s episode is all about the Sun ☀️🔥 From the science that keeps our planet alive, to the ancient myths and gods forged in fire, the Sun has always been humanity’s ultimate source of power, fear, and inspiration. Backed by a crushing instrumental from Titan Tracks (YouTube), this episode blends cosmic knowledge with pure metal energy as we explore what the Sun really means to us — past, present, and future. Fueling the fire are two absolute solar anthems: Therion – Son of the Sun ☀️⚔️ Nightstalker – Children of the Sun 🌞🔥 This is an episode about light versus darkness, creation versus destruction, and why the same star that gives life can also remind us how small we truly are. Science, mythology, and metal collide in a blazing journey you won’t want to miss. Turn it up.Feel the heat.We are all Children of the Sun. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/09olq4cpNbc6CRgDe5GzkA?si=sTbHpOOrSeSE_99iMi8pBg

  7. Alice in metal land

    JAN 19

    Alice in metal land

    This week on The Willie Jackerson Experiment, we tumble headfirst down the rabbit hole to uncover the real history behind Alice in Wonderland. What began as a simple story told on a boat ride in 1862 turned into one of the strangest, most analyzed books ever written. Who was the real Alice? Was Lewis Carroll a whimsical genius, a mathematical madman, or something far more complicated? We dig into Victorian England, hidden symbolism, banned interpretations, psychedelic rumors, and how a children’s tale became a cultural acid trip long before rock ‘n’ roll ever existed. Grab your teacup—things are about to get curiouser and curiouser.
