The Great Song Podcast

Holy Diver (Series Finale)

The Great Song Podcast

Show Notes

This is it.

After 6+ years, 11 seasons and 275 episodes, the boys are putting the record back in the sleeve. And what better way to say farewell than do wholly dive into one of our longest-running references and in-jokes, Dio's absolutely epic and iconic "Holy Diver."

In this nearly two-hour series finale, we'll squeeze the delicious juice from Ronnie James Dio's signature hit, get into his time with Black Sabbath, Rainbow, and more.

We'll also dig back into our own history and do all the things one should do when closing up shop--we'll reminisce, hear from a few favorite friends (and a couple new surprises!), and present the Top Five songs we should have ended the show with.

What else can we say? Thanks for listening. It's been fun.

Share some memories and say goodbye on Facebook or Instagram.
