A central feature of The Jasta Show is its many guests. After years of touring, Jasta seems to know everyone in the metal scene. Members of bands like Baroness and Slipknot have appeared. Jasta has interviewed David Ellefson of Megadeth and Dieth as well as K.K. Downing of Judas Priest. Rock icon David Lee Roth has also stopped by the show. So has Slayer's legendary drummer, Dave Lombardo. The guests aren't only from the metal music scene, though. Brandon Boyd, lead singer of Incubus, has come on.
The podcast sometimes goes on the road. In 2023, Jasta broadcasted from the Headbangers Boat. He has also been the headlining performer for the Milwaukee Metal Fest Pre-Party. Fans can buy tour merchandise and subscribe to the podcast's Patreon.
