Ferris","episode_count":77,"summary":"Talkin' Slayer tells the story of Slayer, the thrashiest of the Big Four thrash metal bands. After some introduction episodes, this weekly show recaps the history of the Los Angeles heavy metal institution, in chronological order: how the band happened, when things fell apart, how they put them back together, and what it all meant—no, MEANS. After Episode 9, Patreon supporters receive every weekly episode. Talkin' Slayer is written, deeply researched, lightly edited, and mostly rehearsed, with some production value. Episodes start after :60-:90 of intro; no need to skip the first 20 minutes.","last_synced_at":"2026-08-02T06:18:51.956881+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talkin-slayer-a-metal-podcast-and-half-ssed-audiobook-6422518"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 63: Updates on Podcast & GIANT New Revised Edition of the Book.

Ferris here. We're not exactly back, but we will be soon. This week, I tell you what's in the immediate future for the podcast. And I tell you about the massive, new, revised, expanded version of the book. Long story short... 1) Next week, I'm seeing the Kerry King band play headlining show. Then I'll drop an episode about it. 2) And shortly after that, we'll be back, with new additions to the book. 3) I TOTALLY (mostly) revised the book that I read from here, Slayer 66 2/3: A Metal Band Biography... or, How F*kin' Slayer Kicked F*ckin' Ass. Now it's a lot bigger. It has a lot more photos. And it is easier to read. I tell you all about it in the episode. The book is thoroughly expanded, and it is not optional. If you want to buy an autographed copy directly from me, reach out, and we can do that. Directions for that option are in the episode. The new 4th edition of Slayer 66 2/3: A Metal Band Biography... is available in four forms. Here's what they are, with links to them. They are at a reduced price for a limited time: $9.99 (ebook), $19.66 (short version), $26.66 (uncut ALL version), and $36.66 (oversize coffee table edition). 1) The Uncut Standard Version: It is... Paperback, 6x9”, 639 pages, includes a full index and works cited / bibliography section, plus annotated endnotes (with new Easter eggs), and 60 black & white photos & 11 illustrations. 500 pages of story, plus 100 pages of reference material. I'm not f*cking around. This one is the peak, biggest, All-est version of the current edition, with the most pages and photos. It has all the material from the previous versions, and then A WHOLE METRIC SH*T-TON MORE. The works cited is a trendy thing: It's one big list of all the different items I used in my research -- articles, videos, books,…","meta_description":"Hey, pals. Ferris here.
