Pit Side Dad
A podcast about the mid-life & times of an aging metalhead & his stupid love of live (heavy) music. I'm too old, it's too loud & I don't care.
Your host Tor Hansen tells stories from Yesterday& Today (Y&T pun intended). Every episode brings an album of the week and a review of the concerts he's been to. It's almost always Metal, or Hardcore, or Metalcore, or Metallic Hardcore , you get the idea. Plus if you aren't about the metal but like the stories we have a special segment for you. Bangers for Beginners brings you one song every week that is hand-picked to start you on your own journey towards Metalhead...dom. There's some parenting stuff, some coming-of-age stuff, and lots of heavy music stuff. So pull up beside Tor at the edge of the pit and enjoy the show.

It's bonus time before we hit the end of year listravaganza. In truth I am testing out a couple of potential new segments. First Up, Lesser Bangs where I bash the venerated critic and highlight a song, album, or artist who is forgotten, unsung or non-traditionally heavy but should be celebrated. This installment its Generation Terrorists by Manic Street Preachers.
Second Segment: Billboard, bangers, bashers, blasts, ball crushers, something like that... Here I look back at the history of the Top 40 singles charts for the current week (This installment it's the 4th week in November) and attempt to pick out the heaviest (definition is subjective and ill-defined) tracks from the years 1968 (proto-metal inception point) to the present moment.
