In a packed Bollocast H has a brief chat with Dave Ellefson about inspiration, life and schedules. Then it\'s the return of an old friend as Zan joins H for a long overdue catch up. The Lounge Kittens have just announced that they will be hanging up their perfectly designed costumes for the last time next year and we here we discuss why amongst a load of other things. Finally it\'s off to the Camden Underworld for a long old discussion with Kyle and Vinnie from Exhorder. Things get competitive when talking chart positions, laughs and stories are shared and there is a special extra section. Included in all of this are the usual crackpot, poorly thought out over shares, frank admissions and apologies. Never fear there is all the usual rubbish surrounding metal news, KK, Wendy Dio, Kiss all the greats get a mention.

A typically diverse Bollocast this one as I get a chance to have a chat with Vio-lence founder and all around good dude Phil Demmel. We chat about the old days, the bands first ever European show and some classic Vio-lence history, I get to be a real fan boy in this one. Next up I get a chance to catch up with my old mate Kim Hooker formally of Tigertailz and now the Bare Knuckle Messiahs. We disappear down memory lane as we remember those who have left us (Pepsi Tate) and some of the madness we got up to, studio shenanigans and a whole lot more.Throw in some recommendations, opinions and a monthly review of the metal news and you have yourself a Bollocast.

In this months podcast H catches up with old friends. First he spends time with newly crowned scholar and rock royalty Andy Sneap. They talk all things production and obviously the heavy metal dream of stepping in for Judas Priest. Then it is time for H to chat with Joe McGuigan the bassmaster general of Gama Bomb. This, as always does change into Joe interviewing H for periods of the podcast but he also goes deep into the history of Gama Bomb and the two reflect on their mutual love of thrash. As well as this there is the usual collection of nonsensical rants, recommendations and flat out stupidity.
