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":"Season 4, no. 16: Hell Worldwide... the Hell Awaits Tour (#146)","slug":"season-4-no-16-hell-worldwide-the-hell-awaits-tour-146","published_at":"2026-08-01T06:59:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talkin-slayer-a-metal-podcast-and-half-ssed-audiobook-6422518/season-4-no-16-hell-worldwide-the-hell-awaits-tour-146","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talkin-slayer-a-metal-podcast-and-half-ssed-audiobook-6422518","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/slayerbook/episodes/Season-4--no--16-Hell-Worldwide----the-Hell-Awaits-Tour-146-e3m9jrf","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/de2bebf0/podcast/play/123047215/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-19%2Fbec9dcaf-b3ce-311d-9d05-a2eda8451509.mp3","summary":"Today's topic is Hell Worldwide, the international campaign that was the Hell Awaits tour.
