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.

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

048 The Cult Of Nick incl Jon Ronson interview
Interview with Jon Ronson from the archives. I'm quite obviously a huge fan of his work. The film we discuss has been posted on Youtube and, while it's there, I suggest you take a look. Link at the bottom. Title of the film is "Reverend Death". The second half of the podcast is the story of watching the Boston attack via Twitter. It's based on a blog entry on www.margerrisons.blogspot.com called 'Watching tragedy unfold online… #blamethebombers'. Thanks to all the tweeters who helped us all make sense of that particular night. You know who you all are.

047 The Cult Of Nick ... SERIAL KILLERS!
This interview really struck me at the time. I was taken aback by how mundane everything was as the best friend of a serial killer told me about his time as a boy playing games and mucking about. MUSIC: http://www.youtube.com/mmmontagemusic TWITTER: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison

046 Project Camelot
Still one of my favourite websites to browse. This interview amuses me because of the gap between a true believer in the field and a casual observer such as myself's realities. Teleportation devices are real? Ace. MUSIC from: http://www.youtube.com/mmmontagemusic www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison

045 How to spot a BS
A belief system is sometimes tricky to spot in the cut and thrust of your average cult member's life. There's nothing wrong with beliefs it's just important to remember how alike to fantasy they are. These two interviews are on the same theme. One of them is about a tribe in the middle of nowhere and the other is from a writer who scribbled out an ace book a few years ago called "Don't Get Fooled Again".

044 Stewart Lee interview
Without doubt Stewart Lee cut a heroic figure in my life for a certain period. He was obviously brilliant yet had been totally abandoned by the mainstream for no clear reason. It fascinated me that someone who was so obviously a genius in his field was playing small rooms and doing wilfully odd things at gigs. This interview was done just before he hit the bigtime for a second time. It's an interesting little period piece in that sense. However, it's very much a fan interview so I suggest you go watch some of his stuff on YouTube first. NM MUSIC: http://www.youtube.com/mmmontagemusic

043 How to call a UFO
This interview with "Prophet Yaweh" is marked with an "explicit" rating. It's potentially VERY offensive. The point of it is to suggest that you can and do create your own reality by projecting your intent outwards. If your intent is to call down a UFO or ET or Demon, you'd be surprised at the apparent results. I don't suggest you call one, I do think the 50p experiment in the previous podcast might be a better idea. "and the only reason I was abducted by aliens in Kathmanduin 1994 was because I went to Kathmandu in 1994 to be abducted by aliens! And it works right? And these fuckers, they will turn...

041 The Cult Of Nick - David Shayler an ex MI5 agent who now claims he is Jesus
This week's episode of The CON features a couple of interviews with David Shayler. It also contains a cracking comment on the Lucid Dreaming episode which leads me neatly into why that is to be your first step into "the occult".
