Free Form Rock Podcast
Welcome to the wild world of the Free Form Rock Podcast, where we embrace every riff, solo, and scandalous hairdo from the glorious era of rock! If you’re a purist, a metal elitist who believes that any sound that isn’t an 8-minute guitar solo is akin to sacrilege, then this is your warning: you might want to turn down the volume and stick to your ‘perfect’ playlist filled with only the heaviest and most obscure bands that your no-caffeine diet can handle. Here, we celebrate everything from shaking your head to classic rock anthems to moshing like a maniac at a metal concert! We love all the forms of rock—classic, metal, and everything in between. So, if your idea of a good time is debating over which band had the best leather pants, you’re in for quite the ride! Sit back, relax, and remember: we don’t take ourselves too seriously—because if we did, we’d be stuck in the ‘70s, arguing over whether Led Zeppelin was better than Black Sabbath while wearing questionable platform shoes. Join us as we rock out the way rock was meant to be—loud, unapologetic, and just a little ridiculous! Tune in, turn it up, and let’s jam through the delightful chaos of our favorite tunes together!

This Week on America’s Podcast, we crank up the volume and dive headfirst into Lightning to the Nations by Diamond Head — the album that helped inspire a generation of thrash metal bands to pick up guitars, grow their hair out, and scare the neighbors!

We’re reviewing Six, the album that took 15...

This week we crank up the thrash machine and dive into Persistence of Time by Anthrax with family members Eric Lussier and Tim Wirasnik.

This week on America’s Podcast — maybe a little dysfunctional, definitely loud — family member Travis Perrotta joins us as we crank up the Way Back Machine and rocket straight into the 1980s.

We’re diving into Under Lock and Key by Dokken&n...
This week on America’s Podcast, it’s just the Three Amigos — no family members, no safety net, just pure rock chaos. Jerry brings in a newer band, Reality of Yourself, and we check out Letter From Hermes. Do we like it? Do we hate it? Are we politely confused? No spoilers, as always.
