Eddie Trunk is a radio personality well known for hosting shows dedicated to hard rock and heavy metal. His presence is well known in places like Sirius XM and New York’s own Q104.3 FM. Serving as an expansion to his Trunk Nation radio show, this podcast includes through interviews with artists, commentary on the latest hard rock and metal news, and reviews of the newest albums.
What makes this show unique compared to other music podcasts is how down to earth this show feels. Whenever musicians come onto the show, they’re not so much special guests but more like close friends of Trunk coming into the studio to casually hang out while promoting their latest endeavors. Trunk’s enthusiasm for the genre also wears off on the listener, especially with the interviews.
One recent episode featured the band Nickelback. Aside from talking about their newest album, the band brought up their early days and even brings up their thoughts on the hatebase that has followed them through the course of their careers.
While many of the recent episodes can be found on the show’s PodcastOne page, all episodes can be downloaded for free on iTunes.
