The Nick Margerrison podcast.
Former Kerrang! Radio & LBC presenter Nick Margerrison's fortnightly podcast is a continuation of his often eclectic radio career.
Building on the legacy of the critically acclaimed first series "The Cult Of Nick" this podcast looks at how topics which were explored back then are now considered to be the bare bones of what is frequently termed 'the intellectual dark web'.
A proud Discordian Nick's take is always sincere but never too serious.

0022 RADIO SHOW | Phone in - what's going on?
The mask debate, confused, I am, thoughts? As it wears on I've found my opinion has bounced around. There are a number of factors rubbing up against each other. Let's kick off with the most controversial: "Bill Gates: I met with Jeffrey Epstein because ‘he knows a lot of rich people’": https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/10/bill-gates-met-with-jeffrey-epstein-to-connect-with-rich-people.html "Bill Gates Met With Jeffrey Epstein Many Times, Despite His Past" https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/business/jeffrey-epstein-bill-gates.html To me the above is quite an incredible news story. It proves nothing beyond what is written above but it's weird isn't it? They're all part of a network of people who are happy to chill with a guy who sells kids because money and because power. Here's the Bloomberg Opinion piece we link to: https://twitter.com/bopinion/status/1311764942308208644 This comes towards the end of the podcast... scary times. The music in this piece is provided by Mike Richmond, here: https://mikerichmond.bandcamp.com/ And Complexi-Tales, here: https://complexi-tales.bandcamp.com/ I tweet here: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison if you want to appear on a "phone in" version of this show start by contacting me there.

0020 INTERVIEW | The Money Burning Guy and a mask debate
Money burning seems like a wholly reasonable thing to do in the modern age, to some. Our guest explains how and why he burns his money. He also explains how you can join in and gives us an insight into his own rich past and philosophy. Here are links that take you further... Back link to a previous podcast which goes into more KLF detail: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/2153887 Alan Moore - backlink to the interviews I did with him years ago: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/2132747 Our guest's porn exploits are profiled here: https://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/2001/nov/18/life1.lifemagazine11 Renowned occultist Dave Lee - who gets a mention in the main interview - was on the podcast here: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/9119804 The interview is in honor of the writer David Graeber who we also mention: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/sep/06/david-graeber-obituary Jonathan Harris aka Money Burning Guy tweets here: https://twitter.com/jonone100 Start reading here: https://www.burnyourmoney.org/ The AWESOME Comlexi-tales adds atmosphere to the first interview in places: https://complexi-tales.bandcamp.com/ And we get a repeat of some of Credne's Codpiece: https://soundcloud.com/crednes-cod-peace/tracks As well as me bashing out a song I wrote about the oncoming apocalypse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPFAk3AfEw4 And finally if you enjoyed our caller/listener who added words about the mask debate, they tweet here: https://twitter.com/Jeremy_Smith_

0019 INTERVIEW | Direct Democracy, Libertarianism & "Britain's Vilest Troll"
This week we dive headlong into controversial comment with a man dubbed by The Daily Mail as "Britain's Vilest Troll". He uses twitter here: @Holbornlolz The video we link to is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjJeQSfFhj8 - it's the start of a huge rabbit hole for any new listeners we may have picked up while the podcast was away... a rabbit hole you were likely down already if you've found this podcast. There's a nice trailer for this podcast which comes up around 32 minutes in, I put out a teaser for it here on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NickMargerrison/status/1305559016786079744 Just writing this as I listen back, I'm really conflicted about it, I think that's a good thing. The guest is a perfect example, I don't agree with some of his sense of humor but there's real value in this conversation. I've joked online that I'm trying to entirely re-invent the medium of podcast with this little thing we're doing here... one of the things I'm super keen on is that we nail interactivity. I always dug stuff where there were nice hidden extras for people who put a bit of extra effort in. Writing a mini-essay here seems like a good example. One human to another; what do you make of what's going on right now in the world? We're going to do some callers again soon, want to be one of them? Either record something and post it somewhere, I'll rip the audio and include some of it on the podcast with a link, or contact me and we'll try set up a quick skype call or something. The cool thing about what we've got here is there's a bunch of people who have all fixed onto an algorithm of some kind. You, by virtue of the fact you're reading this, are part of that. Let's hear what we've all got to say... www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison We're an interesting tribe. Hip to a lot of stories that are now mainstream news, fortified with a philosophy that challenges tyranny at its root with the word "maybe", interested in magic and the hidden nature of reality, open to new ideas yet keen to be able to criticise them. Speaking of which, here's the link to the video where Chris Morris discusses the reality of faked terror attacks on Channel 4 news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liV5wKAihh8 This is the Peterson video someone sent me, I don't think I watched it all but interesting point even so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBu6xI1iUM0&t=190s Finally, during the podcast hiatus I've been mucking about at open mic nights. That's what's happening at the end. Me and a buddy of mine are bashing out a song we wrote, recorded it on a mobile phone. It's called "Black Cat" and it's about the oncoming apocalypse. Neither of us are "true believers" in that sort of thing but right after we performed our first paid gig: COVID 19 and the global pandemic struck! So, y'know, in magical (fictional) terms maybe we helped kick off the long promised "awakening" that New Agers go on about? If so, Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

0018 RADIO SHOW | Various callers on #lockdown2
The internet's least sinister cult returns after a break from service, in which time the world appears to have gone completely mad. This piece sees Nicholarse musing over the concept of a radio show in a time when the long predicted #CensorshipAgenda has finally come to pass. Media is, if anything, a performance art and it's in this vein that we (me and you) try to answer the question - what is going on? The results are, in hindsight, predictable. Here are links to the artists we mention: Crednes Cod Peace is here: https://soundcloud.com/crednes-cod-peace Mike Richmond: https://mikerichmond.bandcamp.com/ I'm interviewed at the end on the podcast of this guy here: https://twitter.com/theoztrucker And my Twitter is here: https://twitter.com/NickMargerrison/status/1303424146546872320 Credits: Ol The Drummer, Jim on The Motorway (not the original one), Aluishious (again, not the original one).
