Protest and Survive
Episode 127 is a look at what's happening in Iran, as the people take to the streets to protest the brutal murder of a young woman named Masha Amini by religious authorities. First hand messages from people within Iran, a look at why sections of Western society have a blind spot when dealing with issues like this one, the hypocrisy and fear involved in not supporting women's rights in theocratic states around the world and why we care about one cause and not another. This is the starkest illustration of why freedom of speech is important and should matter to us all. become a patron over at :https://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillwant to advertise in the show? emailalan.averill@gmail.comsponsorshttps://www.metalblade.compromo code ALAN for 10% off in N.Americahttps://www.hatecouture616.com/promo code ALAN for free shippingSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

re watching 'Some kind of Monster'
Tuesday's bonus metal and rock ramble is thought on rewatching the Metallica documentary 'Some kind of monster' some 15 years after last viewing it. Hetfield handing the band over to a therapist and Ulrich making millions selling Art and taking on Napster, how has it aged and what does it tell us about fame and when do millionaire musicians simply stop listening and surrounding themselves with anyone who will say No! support the showhttp://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Why a hometown gig is always different
Tuesday's rock and metal chat starts with a short eulogy to Manowar and then gets to grips with why a hometown show is always different, why last weekends Primordial was exactly that, have we had our moment? have we aged like a fine wine or like old bread, who knows. How the demographics change, some nostalgia over the very first Primordial shows in 91 and 92. Imrama the debut album came out 27 years today so some reminiscing and random stories about it's recording and mixing and that'll do for today!http://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Killer queens, controversy and the worst gig I ever played
As promised Episode 125 eventually gets to discuss the worst gig I ever played, what I learnt from it and how you cope when things begin to unravel, via being asked repeatedly about the Queen dying, how we deal with controversy, culture wars, the new Megadeth album and a brief skit across what band musically fell from grace more than any other...become a patron over at :https://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillwant to advertise in the show? emailalan.averill@gmail.comsponsorshttps://www.metalblade.compromo code ALAN for 10% off in N.Americahttps://www.hatecouture616.com/promo code ALAN for free shippingSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Blackout...I really had a blackout!
Back from vacation feeling slim and recharged AA gets sidetracked and embarks on a ramble across the energy crisis, what happened to the war in Ukraine? where are all the 4 star general and ordinance survey maps? are we really heading for blackouts in Europe this winter? or is it all just clickbait. Do the political elite really care about you, why would you think so? and end with some brief commentary about the current gender pronoun debate and the Salem witch trials! become a patron over at :https://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillwant to advertise in the show? emailalan.averill@gmail.comsponsorshttps://www.metalblade.compromo code ALAN for 10% off in N.Americahttps://www.hatecouture616.com/promo code ALAN for free shippingSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
