Episode 1 - Amber "Fitch Bernagan", Creator of FIVEFOURSIX Fest

There's a particular energy to a conversation between people who share a deep, lived-in passion, especially when that passion is for the loud, intricate, and often misunderstood world of metal music. That's the space SHE SHREDS with Rasan occupies. Hosted by Rasan Loray, an Ohio chica who genuinely lives and breathes hard rock, this podcast is built on a foundation of respect for the artists and the culture that fuels them. Rasan brings a unique perspective to the mic-she's a Latina business leader and a mom whose heart beats for the riffs and stories from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s metal scenes. Broadcasting from Mansfield, nestled between Columbus and Cleveland, she creates a backstage-pass atmosphere. Each episode is a raw, unfiltered dive into the lives of musicians, focusing less on generic promotion and more on the real stuff: the perseverance required to keep creating, the meticulous craft behind the noise, and the personal stories woven into the culture. You'll hear artists explain their process in their own words, sharing triumphs and setbacks with a host who gets it. This isn't about surface-level chatter; it's about the authentic riffs, both musical and personal, that happen offstage. For anyone curious about the people behind the amplifiers and the community that sustains them, this podcast offers a genuine connection.
