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).

0017 INTERVIEW | Mike Yardley and Don Miller

Don Miller is the chap I talk with at the start of this piece, I assumed that I'd get back, google him and boom - there'd be a website or whatever. Nope, no sir. So, I watched his DVD, bit odd. I say I watched it, I flicked through it when I realised I couldn't find him online. These notes will update when someone - who is better on Google than me - tweets me the details: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison Slightly easier with Mike Yardley, he tweets away here: https://twitter.com/YardleyShooting And his "Positive Shooting" page is here: https://www.facebook.com/YardleyShooting/ Robert Anton Wilson isn't in his earthly spacesuit these days but you can meet his public personna online, it'll do you good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Anton_Wilson Jon Snow shows off his reality tunnel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRiTO9Gfj20 Charles Fort is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Fort Hail Eris, All Hail Discordia! 23

0016 INTERVIEW | Kim Justice

Our show kicks off with Kim Justice, a YouTuber who I recently praised on the podcast, delighted she could join us. Her work focuses on 8 bit and 16 bit computers, the sort that were a huge deal in the 1980's and 90's in the UK. We get into various topics aside from that, well worth a listen. Also our review and deep dive into Quantum Psychology continues with Chapter Two - The Problem with Deep Reality. More of Kim's work is here: https://www.youtube.com/user/elmyrdehory Her patreon is here: https://www.patreon.com/kimblejustice The Oasis doc we mention is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bYsDGkR_Ks&t=1s Random bits: I am a robot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbL61Ex3avM The famous "non crime" tweet: https://twitter.com/syptweet/status/1038891067381350401

0012 Musician Gareth Icke and writer Gareth Evans

Two creative entities on this podcast, firstly we've got the affable Gareth Icke - his music features on the podcast and it's great. I've watched his career blossom over the years through the social media web that we weave around ourselves. Since recording this interview he has said he's going to be entering the world of podcasting - excellent news. It'll be interesting to see how his political discussions develop but it'd be a crying shame if he neglected his music. Go see his website here: http://garethicke.com/ Also on the podcast we have Gareth Evans, his work "The Box Society" is interesting. We discuss his book and more widely we get into a conversation about the occult and mental health. If you like the sound of him why not go here and have a look: https://www.amazon.co.uk/BOX-SOCIETY-G-D-Evans/dp/1983007331 There follows an audio collage about Brexit, which sounds better than it looks when I write it out as a sentence. Feedback via twitter: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison Don't forget to share this far and wide via your social media channel. Hail Eris, All Hail Discordia.

0011 Speak to the moon ... a fiction writer special

This podcast sees debut interviews from two excellent guests. Firstly the writer of "Media Monster" OMJ Ryan joins us, his website is here: https://www.omjryan.com/ His book gets a good plug on the podcast and it's easily worth a few of your shekels. Both entertaining and interesting, I read the whole thing in about a week. Also on the podcast we have another fiction writer, Summer Heacock. Her website is here - www.fizzygrrl.com - and her excellent twitter feed is here: https://twitter.com/Fizzygrrl Then, towards the end of the podcast, where we traditionally go for a bit of a ramble I mention a bunch of stuff which originally I had loads more to say about... only to accidentally delete the audio I was working on. Hey ho. The bare bones were - Blair White says right wing YouTubers are faking resistance to their work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Ft2E_ibxQ And Grievance Studies lances the puss filled boil of left wing academia: https://spectator.us/2018/10/grievance-studies/ And the potted version of what I was going to say was; 'if you spend your time trying to shut people up you are generally helping their cause'. So, who needs a big long hour of audio to say that eh? We're fine. All bases covered. Some of them belong to us.

0010 David Shayler, the ex-MI5 agent and The Psychedelic Detective Agency

I've interviewed David Shayler a number of times over the years, this conversation works as an introduction to him and, in my opinion, is one of our best discussions to date. He tweets here: www.twitter.com/Gods_Spy The Psychedelic Detective Agency's podcast continues to go from strength to strength, this conversation gives you an idea of what they're like. Imagine it without me interrupting them and spouting nonsense all the time and you're on the right track. Go see: https://soundcloud.com/user-the_psychedelic_detective_agency/hypersession-81-over-the-hillsand-far-away My twitter handle is here: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison
