Dan & Billy welcome back longtime friend & Nostalgia Test Podcast Allstar Jeremy Madson for the final episode of the Metallica Eras journey, The Legacy Era: Death Magnetic, Hardwired...to Self-Destruct, & 72 Seasons and put them to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST! “That's an interesting comparison, Metallica to The Beatles [...] The Beatles, depending on how you count them, were only around for, like, six or eight years, right? And they were hyper prolific. They put out all their shit, and that was basically Metallica from however you wanna measure it, from, from Kill 'Em All up to Black or even through Justice, right? They cranked out just, like, absolute pinnacle, God-level material. But instead of, you know, tearing each other down and going off and doing their own thing, they just decided to stick around.” -Jeremy Madson Dan, Billy, & Jeremy talk about the most recent albums of Metallica's long and confusing career, Death Magnetic (2008), Hardwired... to Self-Destruct (2016), and 72 Seasons (2023). They try to figure out why Metallica made these albums, if they should've stopped after Death Magnetic, Metallica's consistent cover art fails since Load, and why does Metallica insist on recording songs longer than 3.5 minutes at this point. Is Death Magnetics' mixing really a problem, especially after Saint Anger or is it just some bulls**t to complain about? Their conversation inevitably returns to the influence of Lars on the band's trajectory after the death of Cliff Burton and how the band might have imploded anyway if Cliff didn't die. At the end of the episode, and this is an epic one so hang on and hangout, the guys give their individual rankings of all the studio albums from worst to best (minus LuLu, Garage Inc, & the live albums) and Jeremy creates an aggregate scoring of all 11 albums. We hope you enjoy this final episode. Grab your concert T's, your closets Metal friends, push yourself through the pit, and let's scream our heads off together. Come chill!

A great song title is like a snappy headline: It grabs you and pulls you in with just a few words. With so much riding on that kind of first impression, you'd think more artists would strive to come up with the best song titles possible. Yet in truth, many artists settle for ordinary and unimaginative titles all the time. That's their loss. This week the hosts of "How We Heard It" reveal some of their favorite attention-grabbing song titles. Some made them laugh, some made them cringe, and some just made them want to hear the song to find out what is going on. It turns out some are meaningless, some have double meaning and some are just bizarre. Titles that made the list vary from "The Devil Wears Panties" to "Delicious Demon," from "Angst in My Pants" to "Hot Pants Explosion" and from "Everything Reminds Me of My Dog" to "I Wanna Be Your Dog." Some of these songs were popular with the mainstream, including "The Sound of Silence," "Hotline Bling" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit"; others, like "Teenage Lobotomy," "Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny" and "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun," cultivated a cult following. And others, like "Ashtray Heart," "Take the Skinheads Bowling" and "Tell That Girl to Shut Up," were strictly underground. Meanwhile, the artists include everyone from The Beatles and Bob Dylan to Muse and Fall Out Boy to Olivia Rodrigo and The Weeknd. With all the bland song titles out there, it's time to celebrate those that stand out.
Johnny & Brent welcome a Nashville-based country singer-songwriter originally from Marion, Arkansas (Woo pig!), Barrett Baber.

As a songwriter, he's had songs recorded by Cody Johnson, Pryor Baird, Austin Snell, Josh Weathers, Kelsey Hart, and more. Barrett actually has a project of his own out called Crittenden County, which, if you know, you know.

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
Twenty-three seasons of American Idol later, a weird question still cuts through the noise: how many winners do we actually remember? We put “most memorable” on trial and rank every champion from the names that vanish the second the confetti falls to the artists who still feel like cultural landmarks. Along the way, we talk about why “winning” and “lasting” are two different skills, how contracts can shape careers, and why the audience sometimes loves the competition more than the artist's post-show music.Then we shift into a packed country music news rundown with the stories we can't stop thinking about. Ella Langley's surge with “Choose In Texas” sparks a bigger conversation about label friction, co-producing, and why fans are tired of songs that all sound the same. We also hit the ACM Awards performance lineup, Ray Stevens' recovery after a serious fall, Morgan Wallen launching his own SiriusXM channel, and Chris Young building a Nashville sports bar that turns fandom into a full experience.We keep it interactive with the question of the day (songs with women's names in the title), run through the latest chart moves and indie chart picks, and time-travel to 1987 for a fast, fun look at what ruled country and rock. The mailbag closes it out with real talk on playlists, industry mimicry, and a producer's answer to the question every creator faces: when do you stop tweaking a track before it goes lifeless?Subscribe for more music news, country charts, and behind-the-scenes industry talk, then share this with a friend and leave us a review.
