  • Episode 546-Cover My Six 🤘😬Dreadfully Bad Cover Songs.
    Jan 9 2026

    This Week on America’s Podcast… we Cover My Six 🤘😬

    We dive headfirst into the wild (and sometimes painful) world of dreadfully bad cover songs. Each of us picked six covers that should’ve stayed in the rehearsal room, and no — it’s not just a full episode of Mötley Crüe cover covers… although we thought about it 😂

    Family member Favio Vegas joins the chaos, bringing opinions, laughs, and at least one cover that makes you question humanity. Expect hot takes, friendly arguments, and plenty of “why would they do that?!” moments.

    Tracks of the Week: 🎸 Marc – “On the Hunt” – Corrosion of Conformity 🥖 Jerry – “Breadfan” – Florence Black 🌊 Favio – “Summer Breeze” – Type O Negative 🔥 Mooger – “The Real Me” – W.A.S.P.

    Until next week… there’s no time to listen to bad cover songs. Choose wisely. Take care of each other. And maybe… don’t cover that song. 😆

  • Episode 542-Black Sabbath-Dehumanizer
    Dec 12 2025

    This week on America’s Podcast, we dive into a lost classic from the Black Sabbath catalog — Dehumanizer. Joining us are family members Travis Perrotta and Tim Wirasnik as we crank up the Dio-era heaviness and ask the big questions:

    How does this album sound to our ears? Is this a top-tier Dio-fronted Sabbath record… or does it fall flat on its demonic face?

    No spoilers — you’ve gotta listen to hear whether we bow to the riffs or banish them back to the underworld.

    Tracks of the Week:

    • Travis: Type O Negative – Black No. 1 (and if the song gets too long for you… you officially have our permission to fast-forward, Pete Steele will understand) • Mooger: Wolfmother – Dimension • Jerry: Florence Black – Colored In • Tim: AC/DC – What’s Next to the Moon • Marc: The Bangles – Hazy Shade of Winter

    Until next week, remember: You are Legion, we rock, and we miss Ronnie James Dio every single day.
