Pod of Doom: Heaven and Hell, 1980

This is Pod of Doom, a podcast dedicated to the British band Black Sabbath! The hosts of Every Pod You Cast return to discuss all things Sabbath: Justin Mancini of TheCineMaverick.com & Cinema Joes, Chris Mancini, and Randy Allain of Media/Lit will be covering the Ozzy Osbourne and Ronnie James Dio eras of the metal pioneers. In the ninth official episode of the season, Chris, Justin, Randy, and special guest Kris of Media/Lit and Batman by the Numbers tackle the first Sabbath album with Ronnie James Dio. They extol the virtues of “hobbit rock,” ponder whom the victor would be in a fight between the Neon Knights and Johnny Blade, and even find a way to bring the Backstreet Boys into the discussion. And of course, they recommend other artists they’ve been enjoying for your listening pleasure. Host Picks: We Know That It Is Good (A Song We Think Is Underrated or Just Really Like)Chris – Heaven and HellJustin – Die YoungKris – Children of the SeaRandy – Lonely Is the Word Nobody Wants Him (A Song We Don’t Like So Much)Chris – Walk AwayJustin – Lady EvilKris – Lady EvilRandy – Walk Away Words That Glow (A Favorite Lyric)Chris – Children of the SeaJustin – Lonely Is the WordKris – Children of the SeaRandy – Die Young Occupy My Brain (A Favorite Musical Moment)Chris – Lonely Is the WordJustin – Children of the SeaKris – Lonely Is the WordRandy – Wishing Well Other Artists We’ve Been Listening To:Chris – Steven WilsonJustin – Rhiannon GiddensKris – The Longest Johns/Greta Van FleetRandy – Soundtrack from Bluey
