In this episode, things get downright evil and nasty - it IS episode 13, after all.


We start with some music news then review "Shame is Just a Word", the latest release from Norwegian black metal band Svarttjern.

This sparks a discussion of metal genres - Is it all "heavy metal"? "Rock and Roll"? Are metal genres helpful or is it all the same?


Next, we learn about Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker), the serial killer who sparked fear in Southern California in the mid 1980's. This leads us to a discussion of "nature vs. nurture" and people's potential to be completely evil and remorseless.
