Metallica’s new podcast “The Metallica Report” launched last week. The new podcast broadcasts from the band’s Californian HQ, and offers a weekly update on ‘all things Metallica.’  The band posted on social media: “Introducing our new podcast, The Metallica Report! It’ll be a quick, weekly hit with news, interviews, features, & surprises directly from HQ and the road. From fans to the crew to band members, you’ll hear unique perspectives on all things Metallica.”

“The Metallica Report” is hosted by Steffan Chirazi and Renée Richardson. Chirazi covered the band as journalist in the ’80s, and currently serves as editor of the band’s online mag, “So What!”  Richardson is the director of philanthropy for the band’s All Within My Hands foundation, as well as a well-known Bay Area radio personality. According to the band, each episode of “The Metallica Report” will feature Steffan and Renée “keeping listeners informed with the latest news and updates from Metallica HQ, as well as dispatches from the road as the “M72” tour continues to make its way around the world.”

The podcast will also offer exclusive behind the scenes news and interviews with the likes of the touring crew, poster and T-shirt artists, fans, and even James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo themselves.
