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.

020-022 The Cult Of Nick BONUS The Stanford Prison Experiement with Phil Zimbardo
The reality TV show Big Brother is clearly an off shoot of The Stanford Prison Experiment. I'm not sure I've heard anyone putting this point to its originator Phil Zimbardo before. This is the final bonus upload and it means all "The C.O.N." is now available on this podcast stream. The Cult now has an experimental Facebook page: www.facebook.com/cultofnick My twitter is here: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison - I prefer twitter, it's better.

009 - 019 The Cult Of Nick BONUS
The next bonus episode, there's one more of these to come. It contains The Dream Dudes, Pastor Deacon, Alf The Freegan and Frans De Waal. All of them became legends on the show. There's also a call in there about terrorism, it features my phone in style. Interesting because I'm not sure who I agree with, me or the caller. MUSIC : http://www.youtube.com/mmmontagemusic Keep sharing these bonus episodes, they're a good introduction to the podcast. Downloads are nice and high at the moment so it's very rewarding putting these together. My twitter: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison NM

053 Uber Conspiracy Theory Fest with Stewart Swerdlow
This interview is a compilation of various conversations with Stewart Swerdlow. He covers almost every esoteric conspiracy theory you can imagine. I consider interviews like this to be an exercise in panning for gold. Have fun! Find me on www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison Music in background: http://www.youtube.com/mmmontagemusic

001-009 The Cult of Nick BONUS ft Mark Thomas / Uri Geller / Peter J Carroll
This episode features some very big name guests: Mark Thomas - excellent comedian and political activist ... oh, and healer. Peter J Carroll - probably the most respected living occultist in the english speaking world. His works are all classics. Uri Geller - MrFire? The reason it's so full of stuff is it's the first six episodes of TheCult Of Nick. Re-tweet the bejesus out of it. Facebook it so hard it cries. And err, you know, tell your friends.

051 Peaches Geldof joins a weird sex cult ... introducing The OTO
Rodney Orpheus is a great guest. In my opinion the guy has his pitch just right. A rock and roll star by day and a master occultist by night. What more could you want? This interview is unique to the podcast and was conducted last week. I've interviewed him previously, as becomes clear, but I think this is the first time I really manage to tie him down to some of the specifics of what it is The OTO is about. The book he's written is excellent, The Grimoire of Aleister Crowley, but I suggest if you're new to this stuff you start with his first book: Abrahadabra. Originally I was kicking an old interview of his around then it occured to me that as we're still in reasonably regular contact it'd be odd for me not to buzz him on the phone and set up a little chat. His twitter is here:

050 The Cult Of Nick ft Hilmer Von Campe
This interview had a huge effect on me. It really pushed my mind in certain directions. It's controversial at points but emphasises the fact that irrational spirituality can act as a last defence against tyranny.

049 The Cult of Nick ... I didn't hear your question but the answer is ALIENS!!!
This podcast features an interview with Dr Steven Greer of The Disclosure Project. In my opnion they're one of the most interesting sites as regards ET's/UFO's. As I say in the podcast, I'm not sure what I think about these matters nowadays but I consider them an important thought exercise at the very least. This interview is an example of where those thoughts can lead. The music you can hear is here: http://www.youtube.com/mmmontagemusic My twitter account is here: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison NM
