What Is Teaser Talk?

Teaser Talk is a rock and metal podcast focused on real conversations with artists.

Instead of traditional press-style interviews, the show dives into the stories behind the music - covering everything from touring experiences and festival culture to personal moments artists don't usually share in typical interviews.

The podcast has featured artists from across the rock and metal scene and has charted on Apple Podcasts in multiple countries.

Every year, Rocklahoma remains a highlight for the show.
