## Resource

Here's a preview of our first Patreon exclusive Pod. An attempt to cover Metal Hammer's KISS Fan Mag stays mostly off track as we lurch into an AMAZING Bret Michaels Based Quiz, literally sing the praises of Poison, take an uncomfortably deep dive into the work of Michael Bolton, and offer our hot new recommendation - or, if you will, Rockommendation for 2025: Vixen. Also, for some reason, a review of Andor. Full Episode includes: Andor Review What’s Bret MicHEOWLING? Poison Tribute. Michael Bolton: Deep Dive Rock of Love Retrospective Rockommendation: Vixen KISS FAN MAG KISS KWISZ The Golden Girls: Slight Return KISS STATZ Bolton: The Deepest Dive Sounds pretty good right? Not just a bog standard episode behind a paywall! To listen to the whole unexpurgated mess, just sign up to our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/c/PodWithMadness In addition to the bonus pods, you also get access to the PWM digital archive where you can read along with us, early episode access and we'll even send you our old, used Kerrangs! Recorded: 26th Sept 2025
