Phil's Breakfast Metal
A heavy metal discussion show, each episode the two hosts Rob Cooper and Phil Wadey (with occasional guests) cover a few albums that they find interesting. The only rules are the albums have to be metal and we have to like them. We aim for the podcast to be a positive look at interesting elements from the metal world from bands as big as Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath to more underground bands like Voices, Oceans Of Slumber and Leprous.
