“One of the few podcast who “gets it,” listening to your show, is not unlike hanging with an old pal at the bar, having a few shots and debating music...old and new. You are able to be the old friend, when the old friend isn’t available. Thanks for all you do! ✌🏻”

“Mark and Emily do a really nice job of interviewing artists from the many facets of hard rock and metal music with this podcast. I like the combination of interviews and music interspersed throughout each episode - that way you get to hear tunes by the artist being interviewed. Cool! Mark is also...”Read full review »

Not only is it a great listen, this podcast does a great job of showcasing new music and great bands I did not know about. Rock is not...”Read full review »

“Talking Metal has been around since 2005, so they could very well be the Black Sabbath of heavy metal podcasts (a.k.a. the first heavy metal podcast). Hosts Mark & Emily Strigl and John Ostronomy have interviewed and continue to interview all of the biggest names in metal & hard rock and...”Read full review »

“A lot of so-called Hard Rock/Metal experts seem to become very cynical and lose sight of what it's like to be a real fan whilst swimming in a sea of free records and comped tickets. What keeps this show so great and listenable is the love and the honesty and the willingness to give new...”Read full review »

“I have 3 main podcasts I listen to. Mitch Lafon, Michael Butler and Mark. Mark is who I turn to for the heavier side of rock I like.

“The content is good but it has two problems in my opinion 1.) When it comes tp phone calls the host always interjects his thoughts instead of listening 2.) his wife is just awful at interviews.

Mark does these interviews and there is no enthusiasm...”Read full review »

“As a old metalhead of 35 years or so, I love this podcast. It's informative, has great guests and great music. There are older metal bands and newer metal bands and very well done interviews. There are a few other decent metal podcasts, but this one is easily the most professionally done....”Read full review »

“Long time listener, first time review. One of my fave podcasts, I’ve been listening so long I feel like I know these guys. They’re easy on the ears, don’t ramble on too much about nonsense, and if you like hard rock and/or metal, this is a good bet. Talking Metal!!! \w/”
