I don’t like to read the description so that the five songs are a surprise.

I’ve been listening to this pod for a while now and Martin’s breadth of knowledge across rock music is quite impressive. He packs more information into a short 15-30 minute podcast than many longer form shows do. Also he gives a lot of love to overlooked bands from the 70s, 80s and 90s and has...Read full review »

I consider myself quite knowledgeable on modern Heavy Metal (2000s onwards) but do know my fair share about traditional metal, but I found myself wanting to dig deeper and go further into the roots and origins ans then I found this amazing podcast that does exactly that - Martin is very...Read full review »

A fantastic podcast on the history of hard rock and heavy metal told in 5 songs. Martin really knows his stuff.

Probably the greatest hard rock/heavy metal podcast out there! It is always a pleasure to listen to (or read) what Martin Popoff has to say on the subject of heavy music, as he is one of the world’s leading experts on this. If you’re just curious or want to dig deeper into the music we all love...Read full review »

Martin is second to none with his knowledge of 70s and beyond rock acts.

Thanks to Martin I have discovered a lot of great influential bands I was too young to appreciate growing up. I love this podcast and highly recommend it. I am now a huge fan of Gillan...thanks Martin!!!

Martin‘s episodes are well researched and well thought out. The topics he picks are very interesting and I love the way that he explains everything, it’s in a format that would make it easy to understand if you knew nothing about the subject. The episodes are also very short, so he never loses...Read full review »

Very well done with the obsessive love and care Martin P puts into all of his work. You’ll find yourself listening to a lot of topics that you didn’t think you were interested in and then soon after rabbit holing into bands and albums you either never really thought about or haven’t listened to...Read full review »

I've learned more about heavy metal from Martin Popoff's books than any other single source, so I was excited to see he'd started doing a podcast. And I'm happy to report he still knows more about the evolution of heavy metal and all its myriad stylistic variations than anyone...Read full review »

First off I’m in the middle of episode 1 and I was really looking forward to this podcast series Martin. But cmon “Hair metal”?? (I cringe every time I hear that word) “Hair Metal” didn’t start in the 80s, It started well into the 2000’s. In the 80s it was Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. Hair Metal...Read full review »

For people that are interested in all the stories and links between that ever growing family tree known as heavy metal, this is the podcast for you. A perfect companion to Martin’s books and every now and then new nuggets of information appear that send you down the rabbit hole to discover more...Read full review »

I have a lot of Martin’s books and have long admired his intimacy with the rock heroes of our times. This podcast is even more interesting than his books. Martin has an enormous amount of knowledge of not just musicians and bands but of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal origins and styles and even music...Read full review »

Right up my musical alley, this podcast is short, sweet, and to the point, yet packs a ton of musical history and information into each episode's average half-hour length. Martin is a walking rock & roll / hard rock/ metal music encyclopedia, and this knowledge infuses the podcast....Read full review »
