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.

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":"Talkin' Slayer, Episode 64: The Kerry King Band Live, Round 2","slug":"talkin-slayer-episode-64-the-kerry-king-band-live-round-2","published_at":"2025-02-03T07:59:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talkin-slayer-a-metal-podcast-and-half-ssed-audiobook-6422518/talkin-slayer-episode-64-the-kerry-king-band-live-round-2","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/Talkin-Slayer--Episode-64-The-Kerry-King-Band-Live--Round-2-e2ub0b8","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/de2bebf0/podcast/play/97926952/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-1-3%2F5f39da07-0d21-aa10-e05d-a3c59747dec6.mp3","summary":"This week's topic is a report from the Kerry King band's headlining live set Friday, January 31 at the Cleveland House of Blues.
