Mark Radulich and Jesse Starcher present our Jorn Heavy Rock Radio Review! Heavy Rock Radio is an album by Jørn Lande’s solo project Jorn. It consists of cover songs from artists that inspired the singer to start his career in music. Jorn has previously released albums of cover songs in 2007, with the album Unlocking the Past, and in 2010, with his tribute to Ronnie James Dio on the album Dio.
This time, instead of focusing on recording more obscure rock songs from the 1970s and ’80s, Jorn chose to do an album with more well known songs, including big hits such as the Eagles’s “Hotel California”, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'” and Queen’s “Killer Queen”. Some songs in the album have Jorn showing his admiration for pop artists such as Kate Bush, Frida and John Farnham, as well as recording two songs from the 2000s, namely Iron Maiden’s “The Final Frontier” and Paul Stanley’s “Live to Win.” He also included his typical tributes to Ronnie James Dio, with Dio’s “Rainbow in the Dark” and Black Sabbath’s “Die Young”, and a cover of Foreigner’s “Rev on the Red Line.”

Radulich in Broadcasting’s Beginnings
Mark Radulich has been an internet personality since 2004 with his Progressive Conservatism blog. He then took that blog to the airwaves and created a podcast for it. It then changed to PC Live. After that, he brought out the 411mania Ground and Pound Radio as well.
Also, Mark would partner up with another 411mania alum, Sean Comer, to create the movie franchise review podcast Long Road to Ruin and then Robert Cooper to create the metal album review podcast, The Metal Hammer of Doom. Robert Winfree took over the MMA show and then added his own podcast, Everybody Loves a Bad Guy. That’s when the Radulich in Broadcasting Network was born. Joining Winfree in having their own podcasts were super fan Jesse Starcher (Source Material). Finally, Winfree and Radulich added a weekly movie review show to the ever-growing lists of podcasts on the Network.
Jesse Starcher
Podcasts are one of the greatest mediums ever. 10 years ago Jesse found himself driving back and forth to work with over an hour of travel time. Talk radio became something that he enjoyed and helped kill time during the commute. The problem was NPR never stayed completely interesting and his only other options were the ESPN network and the local channel that hosted religious programming. Always the same show… at the same time. It was pretty limited. About three years ago he discovered Podcasts and it changed how he spent much of his time. It opened up options to great niche content that he never even knew was available. After that, he got his first podcast gig on the From the Cheap Seats sports podcast with Jayson Teasley and became a co-host shortly after that.
His real passion, however, was comics. He managed to talk Mark Radulich into letting him do the network’s premier comic book podcast Source Material. This would give him a platform to chat with friends about one of his favorite hobbies. A tremendous opportunity. Also, recently Jesse has worked his way into becoming the third co-host, alongside Mark Radulich and Robert Cooper, of the Metal Hammer of Doom podcast. He loves music and a podcast about heavy-metal right up his alley.
