🎙️ Welcome to *Two Fat Guys and an Album* …the only fat guys podcast that matters! 🎧🎸
This week your host Mike "The Show" Blackburn and Maestro Brek Hufnus step into the worlds of heavy metal and heartfelt harmonies as they explore two iconic records from opposite ends of the music spectrum. On Side One we bang away at *Iron Maiden's* 1982 metal masterpiece, _Number of the Beast._ On Side Two we check out *What's Going On* with commentary on some our favorite new releases. But wait…there’s more! On Side Three we get warm and fuzzy (sort of) with _Somewhere More Familiar_ a wonderful 90's Alt-Pop album by *Sister Hazel.*
So tune in to *Two Fat Guys and an Album,* a lively, in-depth music podcast dedicated to album lovers, vinyl collectors, and curious listeners everywhere. Each week, we passionately dive into legendary classics, hidden gems, and brand-new releases, sharing entertaining reviews, sharp analysis, and hilarious banter across every genre—from rock and alternative to indie, folk, prog, metal, and beyond. Available wherever you get your podcasts.
