Welcome back to the Manor!  As promised, we're finishing our two episode series on the 40th anniversary of Heavy Metal, that most awesome of animated films from 1981!  Enjoy our talk on the music behind the movie and get ready for a soapbox venting or two.  

So enjoy some heavy metal evilness!

Next week's episode is in October and you know what that means... a plethora of Halloween awesomeness with extra episodes.  We start with the history and how to make a Ouija board!

Welcome back to the Manor!  Our episode on pub poetry the other week caused this year's Hobbit Day episode to be a bit shorter, but more creative.  Rather than go on for hours about various things, we both wrote a poem about Hobbits!  Pour a pint of your favorite Green Dragon ale and enjoy!  Happy Hobbit Day (next week)!

Next week's episode is about the soundtrack to the 1981 movie Heavy Metal.

Welcome back to the Manor!  Pour yourself a wee dram of whiskey (or whisky, if you'd rather have Scotch than Irish or American) and listen to our tale of the actual true story of the great, flaming, building destroying, alcohol poisoning, whiskey fire that took place in Dublin, Ireland, in 1875.  Fun times!

Next week's episode is our annual Hobbit Day episode!

Welcome back to the Manor!  We have a very special guest for today: Darin Wall, bassist and founding member of the heavy metal band Greyhawk!  The formed in 2016 in Seattle, Washington, USA and have released an EP and an LP that will cause involuntary headbanging.  If you like fantasy themed metal, with wizards/dragons/gems of power/more, then this band is for you.  

The interview was so excellent that it went longer than any of us expected, so we're putting this out in two parts.  The first is more musical, with us discussing background, history, releases, and more.  The second part will come out in November (due to October being our spooky Halloween themed month), where we'll get into some really fun stories.

Unlike most of our episodes, very little was edited here.  Our interview with Darin is as-is, with the only edits and outtakes being from Jody and I before and after talking to Darin.  James listened through a couple times, to see where things could be trimmed, but it was going to be so little that we decided to give the interview itself as it happened!  So yeah, there may be an instance or two of silent contemplation, but very little at that.

So pour yourself a west coast IPA and enjoy!

Next week's episode is about (stay tuned).

Welcome to the Manor!  It's the perfect episode to light your pipe and pour yourself a nice pint of bitter.  James reads a couple selections of pub poetry and Jody reads Coleridge's "Kubla Kahn."   Why?  Because James has been reading pub history/folklore/culture all summer and wanted to and Jody picked a poem he very much enjoys.  Mmmmm... pub things...

Next week's episode is the continuation of Monty Python series 2.

Welcome back to the Manor and pour yourself some more mead, as we finish our discussion on Beowulf as we get into a few of the adaptations.  Become some geekzerkers with us (a kinning of geek and berserker)!

Next week's episode is about pub poetry.

Welcome back to the Manor!  As you can tell, our "next time" from last week's episode has changed.  We almost missed the 40th anniversary of Heavy Metal, that most awesome of animated films!  It was released this month (just a few days ago in fact) in 1981.  There will be two parts, with the second part being the movie soundtrack.  Here, though, we discuss the movie itself!  The actual scenes and from where it was conceived.  There are some really wicked awesome evil things we gloss over, as even though it's 40 years old, Jody didn't want to give spoilers and James was okay with that.  

So enjoy some heavy metal evilness!

Next week's episode is more on Beowulf and its adaptations.

Welcome to another Zepisode!  Get it? Snicker snicker.

We finally finish our delve into Zeppelin's magical fourth album (call it what you will - we covered that a Zepisode or two ago) during its 50th anniversary year.  This time we go over touring, throw in some cool general quotes from the band about this time, and a bit of miscellaneous items that didn't fit elsewhere!  

Next week's episode is part 2 on Tommy Bolin!  Probably.  That's what's scheduled for now anyway.  If it's something else, you'll know that one of us didn't finish editing it.

Welcome to another Terrors mead episode.  If you're curious as to what a bochet mead is, you've come to the right place.  Although really, you should've come here anyway.   You should know that by now.

Pour yourself a mazer and enjoy!  We thought this would be a good episode, as it's the halfway point between our two Beowulf episodes.

Next week's episode is about (stay tuned).
