Description

Today’s guest is nothing short of a legend. Kevin Kirk joins us to talk about the iconic institution he built: The Heavy Metal Shop in Salt Lake City, Utah. If you’ve ever seen that unmistakable skull logo or the words “Peddlin Evil” on a T-shirt, you already know the vibe. Since the 1980s, Kevin’s shop has been a sanctuary for headbangers, punks, and music obsessives—and his merch has become a badge of honor worn by everyone from Alice Cooper to Slayer. We dive into the history, the music, and the lasting legacy of one of America’s most legendary record stores.
