unfortunately I didn't even make it halfway through this podcast. I was super stoked about hearing about the subject matter as Metallica is one of my top metal bands! the female was on this podcast would not shut up and let the person telling the story actually tell it! every sentence she interrupted and it just got to be too damn much.
