Metal Rules! Radio is a podcast stemming from Metal Rules Magazine. Hosts Josh, Jeff, Rob, and Angus discuss heavy metal music. However, the genre of “metal” is so large and encompassing that Metal Rules! Radio was only able to capture a very small portion. Reviews of music and albums, some of which are submitted by listeners, are usually part of the show. An interview with a musician or two is part of virtually every episode as well. While we applaud the effort it must take to line up these interviews, it is blatantly clear that the hosts’ interviewing skills need work. Guests are frequently interrupted and asked out-dated and dumb questions. The show length varies greatly from an hour to two hours, and Buck the dog makes his way in and out of the studio as he pleases. This podcast needs some work, but we give it the benefit of doubt that Metal Rules! Radio is reaching a select audience.

Trivial Trivia Podcast is picking up the torch left by Trivia War podcast which we reviewed in August 2008 (Episode 39). There are three rounds of trivia that are played with a bonus Wikipedia Listener Challenge in each episode. These rounds include movies, music, and general knowledge. The use of music and movie clips adds to the podcast’s authenticity. Each episode is about 15 minutes, and the trivia starts right away. Hosts Jeff and Sarah are very amiable and have good chemistry for the banter involved. Daniel was hoping to hear more growth in Trivial Trivia Podcast’s format and production with the progression of episodes. The show could improve with quicker momentum by inserting background music or sounds to provide a more distinct atmosphere. We also advise John and Sarah not to fall into the trap of quizzing one another exclusively. It can invite boring repetition that is to be avoided. Trivial Trivia Podcast still has a lot of growing to do, but we believe this podcast is worth a listen if you enjoy trivia.

The Cubby House is based in Australia and is a podcast primarily focused on the Gay community. The hosts are heavily affiliated with the Global Bear Community which is a subculture of the gay/bi-sexual culture. The Bear community is a metaphorical reference for physical type preference; in this case, husky and hairy. We found the information above through our own research because it was never taught or referenced in the show. In addition to discussing sexuality, other frequent topics are video games, movies, and porn. The show is geared for a definite niche audience. We do question the category of Comedy selected and think Society and Culture might be a better fit. Also the episodes need more show structure because the hosts get lost on tangents too frequently. In the latest episode as of this review, one hosts announced his departure, and the other two hosts agreed to restructuring. Perhaps this will result in a better flowing show.

The podcast according to host Brady: “Behold our awesome podcast. Prepare yourself for sonic brilliance!” The show is described by the hosts as irreverent, scattered and deviant thoughts all complied together. Despite not living up to the description from Brady, this husband and wife team do have good chemistry. They play well off one another and are quick with their bantering. Late Night Nugs’ content is mostly based on Jenny and Brady’s interest in television, movies, and YouTube. Vintage television programs are included in the conversation too. Unfortunately, Late Night Nugs does not facilitate audience participation nor are the conversations overly entertaining. Finally, we are disappointed to see the podcast break its consistency by not releasing new content since November 15, 2009 as of this review. Listeners not involved with Brady and Jenny’s life will find little of interest.

The Green Room with Sean Green deserves the Explicit tag so if you are easily offended, then this podcast may not be for you. The podcast comes from L.A. Talk Radio that provides “24 hrs. a day of radio without commercials.” This show employees an intriguing and effective method of bridging traditional radio with the podcast genre. Sean and friends offer solid humor with a “stand-up comedian style.” Energy is constantly injected into each segment clearly showing that the hosts are more experienced comedians when compared to most shows in the comedy category. Listeners who are interested in “behind the scenes” stories of stand-up comedians will find The Green Room a must. Football fans will also find fellow aficionados in this show. This podcast is filled with professional vocal talent, audio quality, and style of production.

Walk Up Radio is for adults only, at least in our opinion. The show has a fresh approach to creating a podcast. Each episode is recorded live with an audience. The audience can “chime in” at any time while the hosts are talking. This results in a podcast that is not predictable but sure is funny and entertaining. Love or hate the guests, most listeners will identify with at least one of the hosts (Josh, Hunter, Kevin, or Paulie). Contests and games are a regular feature and winners take home concert tickets. This format allows the hosts to be dynamic and keep each other “on their tows.” The one fault that is a handicap to Walk Up Radio is the audio format in which the show is presented. Much of the action can only be seen in person or via video so some of the humor is lost in the transformation to audio.

This show is inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, a horror and sci-fi writter, and his Cthulhu Mythos. Lovecraft lived during and wrote about the early 1900’s. History and music from that period are also part of this podcast. The host offers a sufficient reading voice that keeps listeners engaged. Episodes are broken-up into three segments. 1920’s music separates the two portions of stories read by the host. Recently, parts of “Through the Brazilian Wilderness” by Teddy Roosevelt have been read first followed by a Lovecraft story. The music in between stories provides a smooth distinction and adds more “atmosphere” to the show. The format is unusual but works. This show is worth checking out.

Aric McKeown and Corey Anderson are The Mustache Rangers who explore space and beyond in this weekly serial comedy, adventure, sci-fi, old time podcast. Aric and Corey pose as Commander Major Alastair Q. Bastidious and First Lieutenant Rutuger G. Phooneybaum. Mustache Rangers’ humor
can be described as “deadpan.” The podcast distances itself from other comedic podcasts by the historical flavor the show exhibits; just listen to the introduction of the podcast. Alastair and Rutuger seem to create stories through a series of improves. One will start a subject leaving the other to create the scenario. By the end, listeners have been taken through an adventure. We found ourselves laughing through some episodes because of the sheer randomness or sillyness of the humor, but other episodes left us anxiously awaiting the end. We recommend that Mustache Rangers keep their episode length shorter as brevity works in their favor. The longer episodes demonstrated how the show can lose direction. Finally, we admire the consistency Aric and Corey demonstrate in releasing new content.

Women Be Trippin is designed for men who do not understand women and how the female gender behaves. Hosts Eddie and Dave desire to help
men better understand women who seem to be vague and have double standards at times. As an afterthought, they also help women understand
guys’ points-of-view on things like sex, break-ups, and maturity. The guys often bring on female guests to answer questions and converse. Unfortunately, Women Be Trippin appears to have left the podcasting world. No episodes have been released since this past summer of 2009. Women Be Trippin has a lot of potential and is full of “could have been” possibilities. In regards to the sound quality, we could have done without the stereo effect of each person speaking in either the right or left side of our ear buds and headsets. Many find the effect annoying and unprofessional as we did. Despite all this, we really enjoyed this show.
