We may be close to the end of Season 2, but we are finishing in style. This penultimate podcast, the last of Season 2 with a guest, features a chat between Matt, Remfry and the brilliant Madison (Madi) Watkins, vocalist from Delaware hardcore bruisers Year Of The Knife. Madi brings to the table her Top 3 Studio Ghibli Movies, a topic so wonderful, the chat could realistically have gone on for weeks and weeks.With both hosts being fans of these insanely incredible films, this episode is essentially a big old love in all about the studio; the films, their style, the music, the stories, the characters …. not ONE negative comment was shared in the whole exchange (and how rare is that!?) This chat does contain spoilers for all of these films, but to be honest if you haven’t seen some of these stone cold classic yet, this is more on you than it is us. In recommendation corner we have 3 films (including a bonus recommendation courtesy of Matt's kids), a comic book aaaaaaaand a very cool theme park that both hosts are very jealous about. We end the podcast with some chatter about more announced 3ITMN live shows, a cracking Tuesday Top 3 and a bit of nattering about Season 3 and next weeks special end of season finale episode.

This week's podcast we venture off to a galaxy far far away, both in topic and guest location! How magical. This week's guest is the insanely talented and all round wonderful human, Anaiah Lei from the band Zulu and the state of California. He brings with him the chat and the force, with his Top 3 Star Wars Characters. Now, both hosts consider themselves fans of the SW universe, but frankly, after this chat, both need to go back to school. The picks Anaiah brings to the podcast really do show a man in deep love with all things Star Wars shaped, no normy normy the norm norm picks here ladies and gents! It’s a cracking, spoiler-filled, deep geeky chin-wag covering films, TV shows, prequels, sequels, comic books and more. We end the chat with our weekly trip over to recommendation corner where the trio talk up a wonderful new TV show, a new heavy heavy album from a very exciting band, and a film some are already calling one of the years very best.Our final podcast act includes some chat about another (ANOTHER!) 3ITMN live show, a Tuesday Top 3, and next weeks guest reveal.

Goc is part of the magnificent ArcTanGent Festival team which is the U.K. premier musical event for all that is interesting, heavy and out there.

All we hear is radio ga ga this week, as we return from a few weeks of new season regulars back to the straight and narrow of Matt + Remfry + Guest = Episode. On today's podcast we welcome BBC Radio 1 DJ and Future Alternative show host Nels Hylton to discuss and dissect his Top 3, which given the guest, is very very on brand. Hoorah! Nels talks about his Top 3 Favourite Albums Of The 00’s a topic with an almost infinite number of choices. Amongst some classic picks he also talks at length about one album and band very close to his heart, a dear to him, almost unearthed gem. I would give anyone a very large pile of gold if they guessed it ahead of listening to the pod chat. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!The chat over in that wonderful corner of recommendations this week sees the gang talk about a wonderful album and band, a new band and their EP and a world famous graphic novel series. Tasty!We end the podcast with an incredibly strong Tuesday Top 3, a few shout outs, the reveal for next weeks guest and this weeks free indie label advert comes from the truly awesome Alcopop.

Love is in the air this week as we unleash our 2nd brand new season regular episode idea...the couples episode! In what we here at 3ITMN hope will be something we can actually keep going season on season, our guests in this week's pod are quite frankly one of the greatest couples in the metal universe right now, Sammy and Justine from Employed To Serve and Church Road Records (as well as so many other brilliant musical, business and life endeavours).Sammy and Justine chose their Top 3 Comfort Films, with a slight extension/explanation added about the films being ones watched post tour, when all the hard work from playing shows and gigs has ended and the pair finally have a moment to themselves. The picks cover all bases, the classic, the guilty pleasure and the…erm…the really out there, leftfield choice.All four take some time off their comfort film chatter and head to recommendation corner, where this week there is big chat about a classic album, a new album, a TV show that could be seen as a guilty pleasure, and a pair of TV shows some consider to be the very best. Crikey.We end on a Tuesday Top 3 that sparks some healthy debate and chatter with M and R, a few shout outs, the next week guest reveal and this week's free indie label advert from Flatspot Records.Follow us on socials @3isthemagicnumberpodScreaming Trees - Sweet OblivionGilmore GirlsGiant Walker - All in Good TimeBetter Call Saul / Breaking Bad

This week we reach the halfway(ish) point in Season 2, and have a brand new season regular to audioily (is that a word) unveil. Each season we here at 3ITMN are going to put out a podcast versus episode, where we chat with a fellow podcaster, fuse our podcast formats together and have a blooming lovely old time. This week it is the turn of journalist Giles Bidder from the brilliant 101 Part Time Jobs podcast, a pod everyone should go check out immediately (after listening to this one first, of course!).Giles chose his Top 3 Smells, a quite frankly outstanding topic choice that on the surface seems incredibly simple, but this chat is anything but. Diving into chat about family, love, work, life the universe and everything! Matt and Remfry also had a chance to spill some beans regarding their own life in work and jobs leading up to the present. Did Matt really work in the adult entertainment industry? Did Remfry really go to school with a load of incredibly famous actors? All will be revealed.As with each and every episode, the threesome head over to recommendation corner and give big loud shouts out to a book, a game, a photographer and an extra bonus with a record shop (of sorts). The podcast ends on a Tuesday Top 3, a few shout outs, the next week guest reveal aaaaaaand this weeks free indie label advert comes from Hassle Records. Magic.

On the 4th day of Christmas you may have got calling birds, but with us you’re getting something way betterer. Episode 4 of this new season has Matt and Remfry have a good old face to face natter with Mr metal himself Brady Deeprose from the genuinely world class Conjurer, a band on the forefront of all good things heavy (and indeed metal) in the U.K. This episode was one that lived long in the memory and also the guts, as it was Brady’s Top 3 Diet Fizzy Drinks. The trio chatted on for a wholesome age about drinking and even used this as an opportunity to properly do a taste test...of many, many diet fizzy drinks…for the whole episode…so many drinks…too many to be honest. By the end of the chat, I’m pretty sure Brady had regretted his topic choice…even though he was literally wearing fizzy drink branded shoes (pictorial evidence will be posted on socials). LET’S GET FIZZICAL!The trip to recommendation corner saw the guys bring up and big up a popular TV show, an album of the rock variety, and a brilliant, brilliant movie. Ending this podcast with something a bit different, rather than a Tuesday Top 3 natter the pair head into battle with a mini quick fire Matt vs Remfry. This weeks free indie label advert comes from the sensational Venn Records.
