    I really enjoy the metal pit podcast. I wish more research was done into certain things. Pronunciation on names, song titles, the history. For example, the Marilyn Manson episode. Twiggy Ramirez and the song cryptorchid. Crypt (Orchid like the flower) Just more in depth research and conversation. All in all great podcast.

    The main point of difference for this show is the inclusion of female voices and perspectives, which is VERY rare in Hard Rock & Metal podcasting. It’s been a while since any contributed, though, and upon hearing the latest knucklehead debut just now, my request is to bring back the ladies, please!

Q: Why did you choose Motorhead's Rock and Roll for this episode?
