POISON BEATS.

14 EPISODES

POISON BEATS was a lockdown "splitcast" that ran for a few weeks during the pandemic. The idea was born from the unholy alliance of two podcasts: old buddy Luc’s Poison Waves and my own Beats Killing People. The premise was simple: pick 5 tracks each, any genre, any era, and introduce them like we were top-tier radio gods. Spoiler alert: we kinda sucked. But we had a blast, and it sure helped keep us busy during those strange, idle weeks when time stood still. Only 14 episodes were made before we called it a day. All of them have been saved on Mixcloud for ahem posterity.

BEATS KILLING PEOPLE.

9 EPISODES

This now-defunct podcast featured 70-minute blasts of obscure metal (and some punk), ripped straight from my tape and vinyl stash. Introductions were made in French, delivered in my best impression of the killer from The New York Ripper (yes, with the duck voice). Episodes dropped as often as I could. Digging through the collection took time—finding the weird, the rare, the forgotten.
