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.

An old interview with Armando Iannuci (Alan Partridge, The Day Today, The Thick Of It) comes out of the archive this week. Never broadcast in this form it's available for the first time now.

Once you have downloaded the instructions into your brainium success is assured... The occult symbolism inherent in James Bond is explored with the help of Philip Gardiner And you get a reading of my recent rant: "Why we're not living in 1984 today: 'Orwell's Oversight'" The music is from ZeroFriendsRecordings Don't forget folks, that album is here And my Twitter is

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.

064 Part 5 of essays for the Discordian Occultist
This podcast contains an interview with Shirley Phelps-Roper from the Westboro Baptist church, less widely known then than she is nowadays the piece also features gay rights activist Peter Tachell. Also there's an interview with a couple of people about a film called "Islam: What the west needs to know". It's one view on a very contentious subject. Right at the end of this podcast is Part 5 of Essays For The Discordian Occultist. These essays will form the spinal collumn of my book but are, in early form, already published in full on www.disinfo.com The music on this podcast is from Zero Friends Recordings.

062 Billy Bragg I saw a UFO
This episode of The CON features Anthony Peake and Billy Bragg. The former is a literary favourite of mine, his books hang in the void between awesome story telling and genuinely solid research. The latter is possibly more famous in the UK than in the US. However he gives an engaging interview and I suggest overseas listeners look up his work. Speaking of which... The music is from www.zerofriendsrecordings.co.uk My twitter is here: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison

061 Fry The Athiest and Gervais's Cross
Introducing Poe Boy! This week's podcast features an interview via Skype. I'm not keen on it, prefer phonelines, but there wasn't any other way. The person we're chatting to has been featured in The Daily Mail, irritated Ricky Gervais and mildly amused Stephen Fry. It's another unique interview to the podcast, I intend to return to the archive next week.

059 David Icke Interview - a fan favourite
This is one of the many Icke interviews in my archive, it was initially going to be my firs upload but then I realised you kind of need the background to his belief system for it to really make sense. Hence it's my third upload of an Icke piece rather than the first. I've left a bit of "off air" banter in there. He is a very friendly chap and would occasionally give us bits of advice and thoughts related to stuff that had happened on the show. The music I use on this piece is here. My twitter is here: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison David Icke's website is here: www.davidicke.com Enjoy! NM
