In a special edition of Riverside, Steve Blackwell joins the one and only Lemmy Kilmister, frontman of Motorhead - "a classic example of a heavy metal band" - for an orange juice and a chat about the New Wave of British Heavy Metal: "music your mother shouldn't like". This report also features Brian Harrigan - the author of the Encyclopaedia Metallica - discussing the likely origin of such heavy metal staples as head-banging, air guitar and always wearing black. The piece ends with an interview with all-female metal band Rock Goddess, aka sisters Jodie and Julie Turner and Tracey Lamb. Originally broadcast 13 December, 1982.

The new wave of British heavy metal was a nationwide musical movement that began in England in the mid-1970s and achieved international attention by the early 1980s. Editor Alan Lewis coined the term for an article by Geoff Barton in a May 1979 issue of the British music newspaper Sounds to describe the emergence of heavy metal bands in the mid-to-late 1970s, as punk rock declined amid the dominance of new wave music.
