Tours, past and present, behind the scenes stories of making records, inspirations behind the songs and so much more makes this podcast so much worth my while and weekly investment that I look forward to. Love it... more

  • February 19th episode Inveniem archives.

    I was listening to the February 19th episode about the Inveniem archives and it made me wonder if there will be a time when we can go visit a place and see all this cool memorabilia. I’m a huge Elvis fan (as well as a Metallica fan) and I listen to Elvis Radio on siriusXM and they talk a lot about Graceland and all the archives of Elvis. Would love to see something like this for Metallica fans to go visit and see. Preferably not waiting until after they are gone. Thanks. Love the Metallica Repo... more
