Episode 3: Metal

Aaron barely stops himself from turning the podcast into a metal fancast. Listen as he talks at Robert about how great metal is. Also about how horrible Burzum is, the infestation of black metal by Nazis, and how this all ties back to Q. Because everything does. We live in a bleak world. At least Rob Halford is still alive! Thanks, Rob Halford of Judas Priest.

Digressions include:

• Aggro art and the French Revolution
• MFA literature
• NPR crushes Aaron's soul
• D&D 5e enrages the far right

Intro and break music by Daniel Griggs.
