Pod of Doom: Paranoid, 1970

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 second official episode of the season, Chris, Justin, and
Randy are joined by The Pop Break editor-in-chief Bill Bodkin as
they dive into Sabbath’s most famous record. They praise the
band’s antiwar social consciousness, engage in spirited debate
over “Iron Man” and “Planet Caravan,” and wonder whether the
Sabbath band members will ever recall a collective memory the
same way. And of course, they recommend other artists they’ve
been enjoying for your listening pleasure.
