S03E03: Fear of the Dark - Part 1

Apr 24 2024 42 mins  
Right. No more detours. We're charting the good ship Maiden Voyagers on a course back to the band's studio albums. But what about Iron Maiden themselves? After the uh... mixed 'No Prayer For The Dying', can the band course correct with 'Fear of the Dark'? Join Bledd and Sam as they fare the rising tides of the '90s and Bruce Dickinson hops out on a life boat.

S03E02: The Mandrake Project and a Brucie Bonus

Apr 10 2024 83 mins  
In a slight change to our scheduled programming, we're not jumping in to 'Fear of the Dark' just yet. Instead, Bledd and Sam talk all things 'The Mandrake Project' - including their ultimate fanboy experience of meeting Bruce Dickinson at the album's launch event. Good times!

S03E01: Pod Quick or Pod Dead

Mar 27 2024 30 mins  
After a... little break, Bledd and Sam are back to continue their voyage through Iron Maiden's storied discography. Honestly though, they needed that time to steel themselves for the choppy waters of Maiden in the 1990s. But first, before they get in to the rumbling waves of Fear of the Dark, join the two seafarers as they talk shop about Maiden current affairs (well, "current" to

Sep 20 2023 86 mins  
No Adrian, no synths - it's all change in the Iron Maiden camp as the 1990s rear their head. Join Bledd and Sam as they jump in to the band's 'No Prayer For The Dying'. It might get bumpy.

S02E10: Tattooed Millionaire

Aug 23 2023 64 mins  
For this week only, Maiden Voyagers becomes... Dickinson's Voyagers? Dickinson's Detours? We couldn't decide on a name. But ahead of delving in to Iron Maiden's 'No Prayer For The Dying', Bledd and Sam take a moment to analyse frontman Bruce Dickinson's first solo effort. Marking a stylistic departure of sorts for Dickinson and introducing guitarist Janick Gers, it certainly lays t

S02E09: End of Tour Wrap-Up

Aug 09 2023 47 mins  
In a slight departure from our scheduled program, Bledd and Sam take the opportunity to reflect on Iron Maiden's Future Past Tour (again) now that it's wrapped-up (and they actually attended a show). Join them for a tale of Dixie Chicken and Utilita Arena. Just as a small disclaimer, this episode was recorded before Nicko went public with his health issues. We discuss some of his p

S02E08: Seventh Son of A Seventh Son - Part 2

Jul 26 2023 88 mins  
In our second part of Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Bledd and Sam spend far too much time analysing one of Iron Maiden's most renowned albums. But does it live up to the hype? I mean, yes. Obvs. But still, let's talk about why it's so good.

S02E07: Seventh Son of A Seventh Son - Part 1

Jul 12 2023 64 mins  
Only a week later than originally billed, Sam and Bledd dive in to Maiden's proggiest album to date - Seventh Son of A Seventh Son. Is it actually that proggy? Is it even a concept album? Who knows - the only thing we're sure of is there'll be synths galore.

S02E06: Caught Somewhere On Tour

Jun 21 2023 84 mins  
With the Maiden lads having kicked off The Future Past Tour, Bledd and Sam take a break from their usual album analysis to mark the occasion instead. Instead, join us as we put together our dream Maiden gigs, covering everything from set-lists to just how many pyro displays go off.
