Twin Terrors Macabre Manor of Mead Metal and Mayhem

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.

Episode 274: Cross Country Pub Hikes in the UK

Welcome back to the Manor!  James drunk-ordered a book one night about hiking through the English country side, with trails that lead to wonderful pubs.  It overlaps with a few of our past episodes, so we thought "let's discuss it!"  Join us by the roaring fire after an eight mile hike and enjoy!

Next week's episode sees our return to Deep Purple.

Episode 273: Dandelion Wine -- Ray Bradbury’s novel and the drink

Welcome back to the Manor!  This week is a nice short one, with a brief discussion about Ray Bradbury's novel "Dandelion Wine" and how it pertains to the actual drink, which James made quite a while back and which he is opening his first one to try "live" during the episode (he did drink it for the first time as we recorded... so semi-live?).

Pour yourself a pint, or even a nice glass of dandelion wine if you have it, and enjoy!

Next week's episode is a review of a book on cross country pub hikes in the UK.

Welcome back to the Manor!  Pull out the big stereo speakers, because we're continuing our Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy arc!  In this episode, we talk about the Starship (not the band), how the band survived on the road, and how the band lived when they weren't on the road during this period.   Pull a pint of bitter and enjoy!

Next week's episode is on dandelion wine.  The book or the drink?  Yes.

Episode 271: Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves - a review from 1e gamers

Welcome to back to the Manor and excuse us as we interrupt our normally scheduled programming for a special episode.  We've both seen the new D&D movie and wanted to review it.  Since we've played since the 1980s, across various editions, we were curious how it came out.  Listen to learn more, but suffice it to say that we were not disappointed, mostly from how good it was, but also because not everything has to be as we'd want it (don't tell Jody I said that).

Next week's episode gets us back on track with the second episode in our Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy arc!
