Comedians Emma Crossland and Sam Wilkinson know a bit about Meat Loaf but, as they're rapidly learning, not enough to do a review podcast. Still, they'll give it a good old go.
This episode ventures into some lovely territory as we discuss Martha and the merits of Tom Waits's original versus Meat Loaf's swelling orchestral arrangement, then we all feel a bit sick as we talk about Where the Rubber Meets the Road's horrible sexual politics.
Plus there's a bit of chat about the lovely time that Emma's just had / will be about to have going to have had on holiday and we do a plug for our show at Brighton Fringe (https://www.brightonfringe.org/events/crossland-wilkinson-tea-and-coffee-on-arrival/)
Next time we'll dive into what happens when Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman fall out as we discuss It's All Coming Back to Me Now and Modern Girl.
