Who'd have guessed we'd disagree this much about Meat Loaf? For one of us, "Paradise By the Dashboard Light" is just the tonic, and for the other, it's a dram of poison. That disagreement leads to reflections on excess, mid-air motorcycles, and the existential reckoning that comes with a really long song. Our intro is by Andrew Byrne, and our outro is by William Joel. You can reach us via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@TalkSongs), or Facebook (facebook.com/mastas.podcast).
