049: Getting to know your hosts Metal Nerdery Top Fans Shout Outs and more

Metal Nerdery Podcast

Getting to know a fellow Metalhead is a lot like dating: you have to ask the right questions to see if THEIR Metal is in alignment with YOUR Metal.
So, we decided it’d be fun to give everyone a more intimate view of what drives the Metal Nerdery magic by addressing some basic “Getting to Know You” style questions.

For example:
What’s the word about the Metal Nerdery nerds?
What is their backstory as it relates to Metal?
And for the love of Tony Iommi and all things Metal, WTF are ‘fart ghosts’?

So prepare (and enjoy) your favorite relaxer, tune out the outside world (maybe schedule a “lunch meeting” to block out your calendar) and JOIN US as we address the burning questions that EVERY Metalhead should be asking EVERY OTHER Metalhead across the entire planet!
