From 2003-2006, Purging Talon Executive Director, Matt G. Paradise, produced an Internet radio program called Heavy Metal Memories. As you could imagine, it was focused on the past: in this case, ’70s and ’80s metal. After a six-year hiatus, Magister Paradise is back on Radio Free Satan, this time with his co-host, Jason Andreasson, by the inclusion of their already popular horror commentary podcast, Terror Transmission — a show dedicated to classic horror from the silent era to the 1980s.

I know my first article in another ‘zine was published in Not Like Most, and now I can’t remember if he’s published other articles or if it was just smaller notices.

Either way, he’s supported my work over the years, big time, and I’ve done my best to reciprocate whenever possible.
