This week we welcome our new host, Dan Nailen, in the most fitting way we could think: An all-metal roundtable! Six of SLUG’s finest metal writers join us for a discussion of haunting, spooky and horrifying metal music just in time for Halloween, which becomes really informative and even heated! This week’s panel includes SLUG writers Dylan Chadwick and Megan Kennedy, Senior SLUG writers Bryer Wharton and Gavin Hoffman, SLUG’s Junior Editor Alexander Ortega and SLUG’s Contributing Editor Ricky Vigil. Jeffrey Steadman from Yelp will be dropping by in the next episode to talk about Thanksgiving food. We’d like to hear what your favorite holiday dish is somewhere around the city. Call our automated voicemail line at 858-233-9324 and tell us your thoughts. You may get played on the show!
