Episode 6 - Dan Franklin (Author of ‘Heavy’)

On this episode we're joined by Dan Franklin, author of 'Heavy:
How Metal Changes the Way We See the World'. 

We chat about how the book came to be, the vast number of bands
Dan's seen and the relief he felt after recovering his wedding
ring from a Deftones moshpit. There's discussion about a study on
death metal fans Vs 'normal' people, how album artwork can shape
your experience of a record, and Dan's story about spending two
days at the scrapyard prising a certain CD from the "automotive
tomb" of his wrecked car.

Before we get into it all, Kieran and I discuss pubs reopening,
cheap ice-cream, his betrayal of our friendship and the
all-encompassing power you gain from throwing a microwave as far
as you can.
