Kerrang Free Pod - Shudder Reviews, True Tales of Terror, and batteries STILL not included
Tales of Terror! If you LOVE Can I Pod With Madness but hate all the Kerrang stuff, have I got the podcast for you. Yes we don't get to the magazine this week, so, y'know, it's one of *those*. Fresh off a deep dive into the Shudder portfolio we've got some reviews (of the “trying to remember what happened in this one” variety) which leads us into true life tales of mystery and terror. Or at least childhood fears. A new Mandela Effect/Parallel Universe/False Memory has dropped and we're here to investigate. Are we going to buy an EVP recorder and become full time ghost hunters? Or just sit around and jibber jabber about pop culture nonsense? Not only that but we have a genuinely scary tale of elephant based terror. In other news we saw Michael: a series of fake noses, and recall MJ's disappointing floating statue. Also: Labyrinth in Concert - several Jareths, a handful of worms but surprisingly more glitter and Junk Ladies than we remembered. And some Bucks Fizz appreciation! Keep it para!

Kerrang October 1996 | Tool! Reef! Korn! and other four letter words
Watering can news! When we're not giving you the excruciating details about our garden, we're looking at Kerrang 619 from October 1996. It's the most downery, cancelled motherfuckers filled issue we've had yet BUT we're still keeping it light! Helloween almost get Deep Kutz status AND we realise Coachella is probably not as good as Donnington ‘88. Korn are our cover stars but never mind that, there's a FREE TAPE which has a succession of the most 90s ass rockers imaginable. Imperial Drag takes us back to a mix CD from the early days of our relationship and we recall a time before Reef were the “It's Your Letters” guys. Nine Inch Nails’ Quake soundtrack is fondly remembered along with Command and Conquer and Force Commander. Only 90s gamer kids will understand. Also! Aerosmith in therapy! Alice in Chains on hiatus! Twelve Monkeys confusion! Pat Boone goes RAWK! Also the astonishing revelation of the reason why one of us likes impenetrable Prog metallers Tool. We end on some Patreon shoutouts and a feature that *would* be a great ongoing strand. But probably won't, for the obvious reason. PWM71 recorded 20th April 2026

Patreon Bonus Pod Preview: Grow a Vagina
Nobody Reads in That Band, Dude! Here’s another BONUS POD (Or if you’re not a Patreon - a PREVIEW of a BONUS POD) and we’re returning to Metal Hammer 256, from May 2014. Fear not though, we’re not touching on modern music (from 12 years ago) - most of this issue is centred around a celebration of 1984, and our guides are Steel Panther, so you know, you can imagine what *that’s* gonna be like. Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, Dio, Maiden - all the stuff we usually cover, it’s just now “Classic Rock”. In addition we’ve got Cradle of Filth, fondly looking back over their glittering, splattered in faeces career, and Zakk Wylde who “outs himself as an unlikely feminist”. We delve into the best videos of 1984, ponder the future of music, and ask if it’s possible to release a concept album about a Disney character and not get sued. All this and the usual stuff: hamster updates, arguments about the rules of Battleships, Buffy talk, spot the mystery quote, and our new obsession, the Amazon adjacent horror streaming service Shudder. This is now a Shudder fan podcast.

Ducks Don’t Have Boobs - Kerrang 69 June 1984
SIXTY NINE, DUDES! Yes it’s the pod you’ve all been waiting for, although the promised raunch content is pretty limited. There’s some BIG NEWS buried away somewhere in here and it has to be said we don’t talk about the magazine very much - there is some stuff about a psych rock classic from 1968, though. We introduce The PWM Megaplaylist - and resign ourselves to the fact that we’re unlikely to be sponsored by Sky, which is a shame because we review some movies we recently watched and argue about a certain Sasquatch based 80s favourite - in fact we talk a lot about slightly naff 80s classics like Short Circuit, so they could do something with that, surely? Oh, and having sex with a duck - I guess it *was* a pretty sexy episode after all. PWM69 Recorded 7th March 2026

Can I Psych With Madness
Adventures in Remote Recording! In a special side episode, I'm temporarily leaving behind the world of 80s (and 90s) hard rock and exploring the distant galaxy of late 60s psychedelia. To do this I've roped in my old college buddy, so if you ever felt the world needed another podcast where two middle aged men reminisce about music that was made before they were born, look no further. As a very flimsy twig to hang this thing on we've both been reading the NME from December 16th, 1967, and even though most of that paper is filled with an appreciation of Englebert Humperdink, we're drilling down and finding all the good stuff about Donovan, Procol Harum and Simon Dupree and The Big Sound. Various psychedelic compilations are brought up and we get into The Rolling Stones, Jethro Tull, Cream, King Crimson and many more. There's also a lot of rambling reminiscences about being at college during the time of grunge and britpop but still listening to Tim Buckley and The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. Stay tuned for more of these intermittent sidetrack episodes, depending on whether we can get the remote recording aspect sorted out! Special note: our AMAZING theme music this week is by our pal Ol of @nithered_music - which it always is of course, but for this one, on a whim I asked him to do "something psychedelic" and he immediately knocked out this MASTERPIECE! PWM68 Recorded 1st March, 2026 Note: As usual there's a longer version of this on the Patreon, as well as our test recording where we get into more PSYCH MADNESS (and loads of reminscing about being young bucks at college!)

Marshmallow Related Injury
As “promised” very early on in the history of this podcast, we've had a look at the BBC Arts programme Arena's Heavy Metal documentary, from April 1989. Mick Wall and Jon Hotten of Kerrang were NOT IMPRESSED with the programme, and neither were any of the people that wrote in about it. Featured are Ozzy and Geezer, Bruce Dickinson going for the presenting gig, Ax Rose at his most Ax Rose, David “LeRoth”, and loads of thrash. It all adds up to not much but to a dopey 17 year old at the time it was a fun watch. BBC4's Heavy Metal Britannia from 2010 was a lot better. In addition we've got complaints about Guns n Roses’ tardiness, Spinal Tap II review, Metal documentaries we have loved and Napalm Death on Craig Charles' What's That Noise,. A note on Heavy Metal Heaven: At the end of ‘89 year the BBC repeated the documentary alongside some related shows- among others they showed The Decline of Western Civilization Part 2, a Def Leppard doc,and live concerts by Ozzy, Metallica, and that black and white Led Zeppelin TV performance from Denmark. This was all under the banner of Heavy Metal Heaven and presented by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (sample quote “tonight I've got a couple of biggies for you... no, not *those*”). That's all on YouTube so, go crazy. Special note: our AMAZING theme music this week is by our pal Ol of @nithered_music - it really annoys me that the BBC in '89 completely failed to do THE OBVIOUS THING for a metal documentary on Arena, namely a metal version of Brian Eno's Another Green World, but we have fully rectified that terrible oversight. Special Special Note: Full unexpurgated version of this pod is on our Patreon - lots of Red Dwarf talk, for some reason. PWM67 ARENA recorded Feb 20th 2026

Fingery Wanky - Kerrang 171 Jan 1988
It's 1988 once again and our cover star is Robert Plant, looking to regain his crown as THE prime hard rock frontman (it says here). To be honest he's just back with a new album that's a bit more Zeppelin than his definitely not Zeppelin no sir! recorded output from the early 80s. Most of this is about their famously disastrous Live Aid performance, but there's a bit of slagging off David Coverdale for good measure. There's an Ozzy interview that's suspiciously similar to one from Metal Hammer that we covered in an early episode, but I'm sure no one remembers that so I think we can get away with it. Meanwhile Nikki Sixx is simultaneously both dead and alive, like Schrodinger’s Cat on smack. Warfare have the best song titles! Cher impersonations aplenty! We review Wonder Man and take a deep dive into M. Night Shyamalan's plant-based shitfest The Happening. Also: Belinda Carlisle, Pepsi and Shirlie, Screaming Marionettes, Bastard Head, Malicious Mercenaries and, er, Impotent Society. Plus all the baking cork updates you could possibly want. Note that this episode appears in (mostly) unedited form on our Patreon, the shorter version is here on the main podcast feed (so if you're pushed for time, listen to this one!)

Dis The Devil - Kerrang 127 Aug 1986
We’re looking at Kerrang from Aug ‘86, so as usual there’s news of another forthcoming Alice Cooper album, and Iron Maiden have a single out (one of their best although we are arguing about that one). Elsewhere we delve into the world of Madam X, and our main feature this week finds Run DMC colliding with Aerosmith, for one of the most bulletproof stone cold classics of the 80s. That’s not a hot take, I know, everyone likes that song. And the video’s even better. There’s plenty of distractions in terms of ranking the Spice Girls solo jams, movie reviews, run ins with horror icons and talkin’ Tolkien. Also another digression into the world of The KLF. Note that this episode appears in (mostly) unedited form on our Patreon, so if you want to listen to us going on about a shaved Bill Oddie, Garage Days, and Tusk, that’s THE PLACE TO BE.
