The Press Release:
We’re excited to introduce The Metallica Report, launching today with our very first episode! Our new podcast will be a quick, weekly hit, including news, updates, exclusive features, and surprises from HQ and beyond.
The pod will be hosted by two of the closest members of our extended family – some of you may even know them already! Leading the conversation will be Steffan Chirazi, who began covering us as a journalist in the ’80s and is now at the helm of our online mag, So What!, and Renée Richardson, Director of Philanthropy for All Within My Hands and well-known Bay Area radio personality.
With each episode, Steffan and Renée will keep you informed with the latest news from Metallica HQ and dispatches from the road as the M72 Tour continues to make its way around the world. You’ll also enjoy exclusive, behind-the-scenes updates and interviews with the likes of the touring crew, poster and t-shirt artists, and fans through our mini-features. And we plan to make a few appearances ourselves!
In addition to the most inside and up-to-date news, The Metallica Report will take requests: submit your inquiries, and Steffan and Renée will get to the bottom of your burning questions every Wednesday. We also want to hear your stories. Tell us how the music inspires you, share a great road story, or make a suggestion.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Truth be told I really don’t manage to find the time to dedicate myself to all that many podcasts but this one sure does sound like it could be interesting. I will probably check a couple of them out when I am doing some of the backend editing on the Ken Pierce Media website since that practice finds me just needing something playing in the background while I work. That’s not an offense to the mighty ones at all but let’s me at least listen since this publishing stuff doesn’t do itself and we’ve hardly an army doing it all with us or for us but I digress. Since I listen to these kinds of things on Spotify when I can do so, I embedded that one up above for you to click. Now with this Metallica announcement those who’ve been living under a rock might not know that the band is going to be in the New York/New Jersey region for the next few days and that means all sorts of social media will be dedicated to them. There’s two shows at the MetLife Stadium and while I’ve quite an interest in being at one or both of them it doesn’t look like the cards have been dealt in my favor. Sorry for those who wanted my take on such a show but if a last minute message says “you’re in” I shall bring you right into the mix with me with images and editorial. That’s all I’ve got on this announcement so I will wrap it up. As we leave you I wonder what you all think about this new podcast. Please chime in down below with your own topical thoughts and I’ll see you next time. Please keep safe out there.
