We look into an aspect of the Benghazi tragedy as requested by a listener, and later learn of Foursquare’s Swarm app. After some Transmetal, we listen to Rob Zombie’s cover of Enter Sandman, and preview some new music from Rodrigo y Gabriela.

BlendoveR is a fun, hard-hitting podcast where rules are regularly thrown out the window in favor of honest, open commentating opinions. Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The-TrukstoP.com), and Terr Ciavarra (Media Nox from medianox.bandcamp.com), we stray on to any topic that presents itself or wanders off onto its own tangent.
