  • The Maiden Fanzone

    Great show for Maiden fans. Less of the deep dive and more of a fanzone air. Focuses on ranking albums and songs, maiden stories from fans, historical background to some of their biggest hits and general banter from the team. Excursions into other bands from time to time such as Ozzy, Kiss and Megadeth.

  • Best Maiden Pod

    Steve is a cool dude that knows his Maiden. Hes joined by some people even cooler. I’ll overlook his fascination with Kiss. Kirsty and Matt are invaluable contributors. The waffle are my favourite episodes

  • Uncle Steve is the ultimate Trooper

    Uncle Steve and his regular co-hosts Matt and Kirsty talk not only Iron Maiden but Metal and Rock in general. It’s always lighthearted, fun and drenched with Uncle Steve’s cheekiness. You can join the crew weekly along with listeners from all parts of the globe. There’s everything from guests personal Iron Maiden stories, to album reviews, to current music topics and to general waffle. It’s a lot of fun. Up The Irons.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iron Maiden Questions... VII
Q: What would Eddie do next?
They imagine Eddie in various historical and fantastical guises (headless horseman, savior, etc.), suggesting a bold, iconic future image for Maiden's mascot that could align with Brave New World-era aesthetics and beyond.
Iron Maiden Questions... VII
Q: Who would have been the best female singer to replace Bruce Dickinson?
Options discussed include Anne Wilson, Lizzy Hale, and the Iron Maidens' Kirsten Rosenberg, with acknowledgment that Lizzy Hale would be a compelling fit due to grit; debate continues on how such a voice would translate to Maiden material.
Iron Maiden Questions... VII
Q: What band would you recommend to a new Maiden fan?
Bruce Dickinson's solo material is suggested as a good starting point, with other bands like Judas Priest and Halloween offered as related influences; discussion includes contrasting how Maiden fans might respond to these recommendations.
Iron Maiden Questions... VII
Q: Have you ever avoided listening to a Maiden song to prevent burnout?
Neither host recalls avoiding a Maiden song for burnout, though Kirsty notes some albums (like Seventh Son) are easier to listen to straight through, suggesting burnout is album-dependent rather than song-specific.
Iron Maiden Questions... VII
Q: Have you ever misheard an Iron Maiden lyric?
Yes, several times; examples include mishearing lines from Live After Death and misinterpreting lines like 'Scream for me, Hannah Smith' as a lyric fragment from Acacia Avenue, with Kirsty's answers cited as three examples.
