IoMP 50: We Almost Picked One Of These Podcast Names... (50th Episode Special)

It’s a celebration! In this milestone 50th episode of Influencers of Metal, Collin and Tom take you behind the scenes of the podcast's creation—from the long road leading up to their debut to the absolute madness that went into choosing a name. (Spoiler: it almost ended up as The Thrash-Bot Podcast… or even Blonde and Beautiful.)

Whether you're a longtime listener or brand new to the chaos, this episode is packed with hilarious stories, genuine reflections, and the kind of metal-fueled banter you’ve come to expect. Hear about the early concept ideas, the names that almost stuck, and how this metalhead duo somehow made it to 50 episodes without imploding.

Hit play and join the party—because this one’s for you, the headbangers who made it all possible.
