The Nick Margerrison podcast
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.

074 The Oversoul and The Campaign For Philosophical Freedom
Looks like I'm going to be adding a donate button to the podcast. I put a hundred quid in there for hosting costs at the start of all this thinking it'd last me ages, it has, more than a year! I reckon if half the audience pops a quid in we're cool for another year or more, happy days. This podcast is recorded in a slightly odd way, my spoken bits were done in total ignorance of the interview I was going to pick from the archives. Listening to it I think we picked a good match, Michael Roll from The Campaign For Philosophical Freedom. If enough people agree I might contact him and see how the search for a psychic went. Music, as always, from www.zerofriendsrecordings.co.uk My Twitter is here: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison Thanks to Paul Munkey for pointing out that there are two 072 episodes... my mistake!

073 Repeaters and the oversoul
Short piece with David Icke, a bigger piece with Bruce Gernon and some words from me. I mention an idea which I'm currently trying to digest in this podcast, I'd hugely appreciate thoughts on it from fellow CON members. It's "the oversoul" idea. The god mind, the secret doctrine, this notion that there's a form of biological internet that envelopes the earth and provides ideas to people. I don't see why people believe in it, at all. If you do try and explain why in a comment on this blog www.thecultofnick.co.uk Music on this podcast, as usual, from www.zerofriendsrecordings.co.uk NM

072 Scientology and your core values
This interview is from the Kerrang archives. It caused a huge controversey at the time because it was offensive to people who claimed to be party of Anonymous group. It's not an overly critical interview but, if you're familiar with my style, it's not unusual particularly for me to let guests speak for themselves. The music on this podcast is from Zero Friends Recordings. My twitter is here. Tweet me and tell me what you make of the exercise at the end. Nick Margerrison

070 Starbucks taxation and the apocalypse
I kick off with a rant taken from my Twitter and written up on my blog. Guests this week include archive interviews with Paul Tait (their website www.soulsmacklive.com appears to be down at the moment) and Richard Wiseman (his excellent blog is here). The music is from Zero Friends Recordings and our album is available to purchase here. Every time someone buys it a poor musician and broke broadcaster cry tears of joy! Thanks to everyone who has continued to support The Cult Of Nick! Nick Margerrison

068 A real life exorcism
Travis Verge caused a major stir with his story of demonic possession. This interview is in two halves, one is the story and the second is the same story but with a few extra questions in the name of my producer's sanity at the time. There are two monologues on this podcast, both taken from the blog: www.thecultofnick.co.uk My Twitter is here: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison This podcast's facebook page is here The music on this is from ZERO FRIENDS RECORDINGS go there to find part one of the album we've been working on.

066 BITCOIN TRADER: “THEY CLOSED MY BANK ACCOUNT ... ITS JUST TOO RISKY NOW”
I’ve kept an eye on the developments taking place in the world of the ‘virtual currency’ Bitcoin. “Buttons” is a guy who traded on forums but he has now had to cease this after his account was closed and his bank became inexplicably uncooperative. His story is ongoing and, with his permission, we will return to him in the event of any major developments. Also, on this podcast, I explain the album which a friend and I have made. It can be found here: http://tunes.zerofriendsrecordings.co.uk/ I’m on one of the tracks, “The Awakening”. The rest is the work of ZeroFriendsRecordings and has been designed, with my help, as a meditational aid using the tarot deck’s major arcana. A proportion of the price you pay will go back into funding this podcast's hosting costs. You may recognise them, they've been the music backgrounds to The C.O.N. for a while now.
