Twin Terrors Macabre Manor of Mead Metal and Mayhem

Episode 287: Post-Zep but Pre-Zep

Welcome back to the Manor!  We heard your clamoring for more Zeppelin, but it's not quite time for Physical Graffiti, so instead we're going to talk about post-Zep when they were pre-Zep!  Wait... what?  So before we really knew who Zeppelin was, even if we knew Zeppelin, we were of an age where we were just as likely to hear the band members' follow-up music, such as Page's The Firm and Plant's solo career.  That's what we're getting into today!  Pour yourself a pint and enjoy!

Next week's episode is about pub/bar dislikes.

Episode 286: D&D campaign settings, alignment, and editions

Welcome back to our pre-50th anniversary blitzkrieg of D&D episodes, where we talk about our own personal thoughts and likes of various things before getting into some history and context next year for the 50th!  This time around, we're talking about our favorite editions (for example, basic Red Box, 1st, 5th), campaign settings (such as Mystara and Greyhawk), and alignments (chaotic good all the way!).  If you're old like we our, these may take you down memory lane.  If you're younger and want to hear about some old school things, jump on in!  But we do like some of the newer content, as well, so there's something for everyone anyway.

Pour yourself a flagon of goblin blood spiced mead and enjoy!

Next week's episode is about how we learned about Zeppelin band members after Zeppelin, but before we knew who Zeppelin were... if that doesn't make sense, it doesn't to us, either, but it will when you listen next week!

Episode 285: The history of the Tarot (Jimmy Page and the Occult part 2)

Welcome back to the Manor!  Join us as we lay out our Tarot cards to do some spooky readings!  If we're accurate, hopefully it won't actually be all that spooky.  This episode, we're doing more background to get us to Jimmy Page and the occult, with the history of the Tarot.  Join us as we talk about the first known decks, get deep into the history of the best known Rider-Waite-Smith deck, talk about our own favorite decks, what spreads we like to do, and more!  Light your pipe and pour your pint, it's time to light the lights!

Next week's episode is more on D&D, in which we talk about our personal favorite campaign settings, alignments, and editions, as we get ready for next year's 50th anniversary of Dungeons and Dragons.

Episode 284: Our favorite Bond actors and movies

Welcome back the Manor and welcome to another episode on that man of mystery, martinis, and Her Majesty's secret service (although at the next movie, it'll have to he His Majesty's won't it?), James Bond!  Bum duhduhduh dum dum dum... bweeeeelowwww!    This time we discuss our favorite Bond portrayals, our favorite Bond films, and even get into some villainy!  

Get your Vesper martini or your stinger ready and join us!

Next week's episode is our continuation of Jimmy Page and the occult with another background episode on... Tarot decks!

Episode 283: Lovecraft and Carcosa

Strap on to a Mi-go and let's get into background on Carcosa, that most vile of planets that has given us some decent short stories and the future King in Yellow (but seriously, the food and drink are fantastic!).

We'll get into where it is and who from Earth "might" have owned it.  There are probably also stories of alcohol and prostitutes that would make me uncomfortable, but then don't sit there! ;) 

You'll even more on the author horrors that were around this time, but even more so with the roses at the bottom of a plant, and in which I did not practice patience.  

Being close to neighbors, not at all.  Time to to set off some sewer, like a horrible Bride of Frankenstein.  

Next week's episode is about either D&D or James Bond.

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to the final, part 5, of our Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy arc!  Here, after going into touring and groupies and album and everything, we finally discuss the actual songs!  Woohoo!

Sit back, pour a pint, and enjoy this riveting conversation!

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to a precursor of our D&D 50th anniversary episodes (next year -- it's the official 49th this year!).  Here, we talk about what race and class we think we would be for ourself and for the other.  It's time to light the lights and nerd out!  Reach out to us and let us know your favorites!

Also, the first few minutes are Jody discussing how he proposed to his now fiancé!  Congratulations to him!

Next week's episode is the final 5th of 5 episodes on Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy!  Holy cow, we're finishing up that particular arc!

Episode 280: Hard Rock vs. Heavy Metal

Welcome back to the Manor!  This is a very special episode for two reasons.  The first is that we've been teasing this since pretty much the very beginning of our podcast.  The second is that, once we started going, we really got into it, so the edits are very few (so bear with us as the episode starts and for all the laughter -- we enjoyed this one, going off the cuff with little preparation other than decades of thought, conversation, and research behind it).  

So what is it?  It's our hard rock vs. heavy metal debate!  Not which is better, but simply the differences between the two!  If you have thoughts, reach out to us and we can do a part 2!

Next week's episode is a run up episode to our D&D 50th anniversary episodes -- our favorite race/class and what we think the other would actually be

Episode 279: Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy (part 4)

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome back to the 4th of 5 episodes on Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy!  We continue our march through Zep's peak and get into the album.  Not the songs yet, as that's next episode, but the actual album -- the cover and production and other most excellent of things!

Next week's episode is finally our much mentioned, even since the earliest of episodes, discussion on the differences between hard rock and heavy metal!

Episode 278: Jimmy Page and the occult part 1 - John Dee

Welcome back to the Manor!  We've mentioned a few times that we would discuss Jimmy Page's fascination with the occult and thought that there's no time like telling the future!  We mean... there's no time like the present!  So in a three part arc, we start with part 1 and John Dee, that takes us into the founding of the Golden Dawn (more or less).  Light a pipe, pour a pint, salt a circle, and sketch a pentagram!  Enjoy!

Next week's episode is part 4 of our Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy arc.
