Chat out of Hell
How did two massive dorks create some of the most bombastically stupid rock opera of all time? Join equally massive dorks Emma Crossland and Sam Wilkinson as they delve into the works of Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman.
Every episode our intrepid pair both brings one of Loaf or Steinman's works to the table to dissect in meticulously lazy detail, exploring the torrid lives of music's most on-again off-again best pals one week at a time.
