🎙️ This Week on America’s Podcast! 🎙️ Buckle up, metal maniacs—we're hopping in the time machine straight back to 1986, where the riffs are fierce, the politics are angry, and Dave Mustaine still hasn't smiled once. We’re diving deep into Megadeth’s Peace Sells... but Who’s Buying?

Is this album a thrashterpiece worthy of our hard-earned Reagan-era cash, or does it bomb harder than a VCR instructional video? No spoilers—but trust us, it gets louder than Mustaine’s ego.

Helping us sift through the rubble are special guests Tim Wirasnik and Travis Perrotta, who bring their musical firepower and strong opinions (and maybe a flask of nuclear fallout whiskey).

🔥 Tracks of the Week:

  • Mooger picks Overkill’s “Hello from the Gutter” — because nothing says love letter like a rat-infested alley 🐀

  • Jerry gets haunted with Ghost’s “Lachyma” — spooky, dramatic, and perfect for summoning stylish Swedish demons 👻

  • Tim lays it on the line with Dee Snider’s cover of the Triumph classic — glam meets grit, with extra vocal grit from Uncle Dee 🎤⚡

  • Travis gets technical with Toxik — because his riffs need a PhD in shred 🤓🎸

  • And Marc sends us out with The Cure’s “Jumping Someone Else’s Train” — for those who like their eyeliner smudged and their metaphors deep 🚂

⚠️ Until next time—don’t end up on Devil’s Island, and remember to Wake Up the Dead by blasting some righteous metal straight into the afterlife. 🤘
