We end 2018 with a bang as the podcast celebrates its sixth—or iron—anniversary. Did you give your significant other a rose dipped in metal for your sixth? If you didn't, shame on you! Get dipping—it's never too late. As per usual at these shindigs, we discuss groups comprised of the number of musicians that the anniversary is -er, sextets, in this case. Happy New Year!
