Rush Strutter Zep Magik
Mike Bessler and Kevin McElvaney are pro wrestling writers who moonlight as music aficionados. As the title of this podcast suggests, we primarily focus on material by rock powerhouses Rush, Kiss, and Led Zeppelin, but every so often, we'll draw the proverbial "wild card" and discuss an artist beyond the bounds of this titanic troika. For each episode of RSZM, we select an album by one of these artists and discuss our personal recollections of the record, talk about the history behind the album, and go track-by-track and discuss each song. Also, the title of the show was Kevin's idea. Language: en Genres: Music, Music Commentary, Music History Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

The Velvet Underground & Nico
Sunday, 23 November, 2025
New podcast, who dis? The RSZM crew returns from an extended hiatus with fresh conversation, familiar grievances, and the usual dose of chicanery. This week, Mike cues up The Velvet Underground's 1967 debut album for a thorough evaluation. From its rock and R&B roots to its avant-garde theatrics, we explore The Velvet Underground & Nico for posterity, with a few side quests and tangents for good measure. Expect fleeting nods to The SCUM Manifesto, Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs, and the recent untimely passing of Ace Frehley. Don't even think about reaching for your wallet—this one's on the house. You should probably stop reading this and start listening now.
