Welcome to Metalomics, the podcast where brutal breakdowns meet economic blowouts. Join your hosts, Josh Goddard and David Ingram, as they forge a new sound, one that blends the raw aggression of extreme metal with the complex, unforgiving world of economics. This isn't your average podcast. Metalomics is a sonic assault on intellectual laziness. We're here to prove that the principles of a death metal band's tour budget aren't so different from a multinational corporation's. It's time to learn how to dominate both the pit and the portfolio.Josh Goddard and David Ingram Social Sciences

  • Ep18: Grind and Drudgery in a Foreign Land Part 2
    Jul 29 2026

    Your opinion on immigration is lacking nuance. Yeah, we said it. But if you’re reading this, you’re in luck. Because here on the Metalomics Podcast, we are trying to make nuance cool; and looking at immigration through an economic lens is a good place to start. On this episode, we continue our deep dive into the complex phenomena that is immigration, and hope that you, the lucky listener, will leave feeling more informed than ever about this important topic.

  • Ep17: Grind and Drudgery in a Foreign Land Part 1
    Jul 15 2026

    You probably have an opinion on immigration; or at least you’ve heard someone else’s. It’s just as likely these opinions appear in their final form, bereft of the logic or details that support them. In this episode, we interrogate the particulars of people’s opinions on immigration, and map where those opinions land on the political spectrum. We hope you’ll join us in questioning how these opinions are formed, and, more importantly, whether or not these opinions really belong to you. Wherever you think you’re at on the issue of immigration, you may reconsider after hearing this episode. We downright encourage it.

  • Ep16: You Will Own Nothing Part 3
    Jul 1 2026

    So, we are going to own nothing. Who cares!? If giving up my right to hold on to a CD or vinyl or cassette means I get access to the celestial jukebox and the infinite volumes floating inside, what’s the big deal? “Sounds like a fair trade for something as “trivial” as music,” you may say. Well, we at METALOMICS don’t think music is trivial at all. In fact, we believe quite the opposite. But if we had one retort to this straw man argument, it would be this: When it comes to owning nothing, just how much nothing are we willing to own? Join us on today’s episode as we extend our analysis beyond subscription music and conclude this 3-part series by examining the true costs and benefits of serving the newest generation of feudal lords.
