Can I Pod With Madness - Kerrang, Metal Hammer and rock in the 1980s Podcast artwork

Can I Pod With Madness is a podcast in which we meticulously review a copy of Kerrang! or Metal Hammer, from 1987-1989 (mostly). Expect lots of talk about Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, KISS, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith and Lisa Dominique. Also some waffle about what was on telly that week, what was in the charts and general aimless nostalgia. Bringing the metal back to where it belongs!

PWM33: All Right Let’s Just Go For It- Q70, July 1992 part 1

May 13 2024 61 mins  
Once again we’re taking a break from the parallel universe of 80s metal, and delving into Q, The Modern Guide To Music and More, from 1992, so we’re on the back foot straight away as everything is spelled correctly. There’s news about Prince and Craig McLachlan, and ABBA are back, back, back etc. This leads us to talk about the brilliance of Erasure, and tribute bands. Along

PWM32: Run By Trendies- Kerrang Kontaktz 1988 (part 2)

Apr 29 2024 66 mins  
Back with our faces in Kerrang Kontaktz, we finally get to some Korrespondences with real live Kerrang readers from back in the day. In addition we tackle Kontroversies such as rap metal krossover, whether 80s Sabbath are any cop, and is Satan as much of a laugh as he claims. Along the way we look at psychedelic jazz blues prog trio Show of Hands, American Horror Story, KISS NEWS,

PWM31: Garfield is an Obligate Carnivore - Kerrang Kontaktz 1988 (part 1)

Apr 15 2024 52 mins  
This week we’re looking at Kerrang Kontaktz, the Magazine Written By Rock Fans - or alternatively, a lazy money for old rope exercise in which some long rambling letters get published in full. Some “Kontroversial Komments” on the matters of are Whitesnake big fat sellouts, is Robert Plant trying to distance himself from his Led Zeppelin past, and are Glam Rock Pretty Boys giv

PWM30: Kerrang 257 (Sept 23 1989) - If we ever get to the bottom of it

Feb 26 2024 78 mins  
This week we’re taking a look at Lenny Kravitz, and asking is he too sexy to be into Star Wars? Talking of NSFW content, we remember a classic Steve Guttenburg video, and assess the career of Judge Reinhold. Kerrang’s cover star is Marillion new boy Steve Hogarth, in a leaf related photoshoot. We ask is their latest single ideal to be used in an 80s douchebag comedy movie, and

PWM29: Kerrang 225 (Feb 11 1989) - How do you feel about panthers?

Feb 12 2024 50 mins  
Vixen are our cover stars in this issue, so the casual sexism starts early! WASP are celebrating their lead guitarist (who - spoiler alert, bails out of the band in 6 months time) and cranking out a Jethro Tull cover. There’s reports of secret Aerosmith gigs, so we may rebrand as a mystery podcast. We’ve got features on Quireboys (mostly drunk) and Gary Moore (mostly angry abou

PWM28: Better in Stereo

Jan 29 2024 31 mins  
In a change from the intended episode we don't even get to Kerrang in this one, but we do talk about Steve Wozniak, reminisce about Feeder's Just a Day, discover Feeder's Just a Day 2, remember the first lockdown and spin off into a conversation about Eurovision and our favourite entry ever from 2006, Lithuania's LT United with We Are The Winners. Also DEEP KUTZ brings us 1987 by D

PWM 27: Kerrang 176 (Feb 27 1988) - Fresh Blood Could Kill Me

Jan 15 2024 72 mins  
Kicking off a new year and a new podcast with yet more Gen Patter, as we question whether Gen Z are into Zorro, and wonder whether it’s too late in the game to change the name of the podcast. Simply Red are reappraised, despite not appearing in this week’s issue of Kerrang! However - we do get Atomkraft, WASP, The Accused, Dogs D’amour, Paul Sabu, and Zodiac Mindwarp. Kommuni

PWM 26 Bonus Episode: The Lost Picture Show

Jan 02 2024 19 mins  
Like a Christmas Gift For You, but less problematic (thanks Phil!) here’s a very special BONUS podcast that we recorded way back in April. We basically spend this bonus episode promoting Reels Ov Steel, the Heavy Metal Movies podcast, who probably have way more listeners than we do, but what you gonna do? This led us to discuss what constitutes a good example of a metal movie. Ca

PWM25: Xmas Blowout - Get drunk enough and it’ll be fine

Dec 12 2023 64 mins  
Welcome to our Christmas Pod (for the third time). We thought we were done but then there was some IMPORTANT BREAKING KISS NEWS to cover (sorry... “kover”). Along the way we talk ABBA (obviously), The Millennium Dome, Spice Girls and horror movies that make you cry (or possibly just me). Damn you Guillermo Del Toro! We attempt to delve into Kerrang’s Kerristmas Kwizz, but due

PWM24: Kerrang 219 (December 24-31 1988) - Following Gary Moore into Battle

Dec 10 2023 84 mins  
Welcome to our Christmas Pod (for the second time). It's 1988 and behind the glorious Simon Bisley cover we're looking at a whole bunch of Festive Feechas, once we're done gatekeeping the work of Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. Uriah Heep are playing a Christmas festival, there's some surprising news about Marillion and we explore the connection between mystical unicorns and Gary Moore
