Metallica-based podcasts don’t come better than this. Ryan J Downey is an excellent host, with a very relaxed manner that makes him incredibly easy to listen to, and is very knowledgeable and passionate about all things Metallica.

Apple Podcasts5Metfan34United States5 years ago - Deep info from a real Metallica head
Downey explores all the little trails and overgrown pathways that Metallica lifers will LOVE. Interviews with the dudes who you’ll recognize from 80’s liner notes and songwriting credits. Just a rad knowledgeable trip through all the nooks and crannies that others wouldn’t even consider.

Very good podcast. I like the wide range of guests and some of their backstories relating to both Metallica and the metal music scene. I’ve learned a lot and I haven’t even listened to all of the shows yet. Keep up the good work.

Great Podcast
I am listening today to your review of the S&M2 show you went to. My aunt who passed in 1998 was a harpist in the San Francisco orchestra in the late 70’s I believe and when I was starting a band in the 90’s she wanted to see the sheet music of the music I liked so I showed her the “music book” from Puppets. I will always remember that she told me that everything she saw in this book was equally arranged and flowed like a traditional classical piece.
It was around a year the firs... more

Hells bells this podcast! Love it. Just when I thought I couldn’t find Metallica more interesting! Thanks bro for a hella good PC!
Apple Podcasts5rjcatUnited States7 years ago - Great podcast! Flavored by Metallica, but essentially music in general
This is a great podcast primarily because of Ryan Downey. He's a great interveiwer, develops a great rapport with each guest, with the core of the discussions being all things Metallica, but stemming into often interesting directions regarding inspirations, artistic directions, and sometimes just general humor. Anyone who was ever a Metallica fan, who has a passion for music, will find this not only a worthwhile listen but a worthwhile subscription.
