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.

0007 Harbingers The Raputure and Vanity Von Glow
As if to perfectly demonstrate why I hate covering news in the podcast medium this was recorded before Tommy Robinson, the former EDL leader, now citizen journalist and activist, was jailed for breeching the terms of his suspended sentence. There's potentially a whole other podcast in that topic, maybe another time, it depends. My thoughts haven't really shifted from the position you'll find them at in this little sound collage. As always I'm open to thoughts on twitter: https://twitter.com/NickMargerrison Featuring; Vanity Von Glow (3mins in), her twitter is to be found here - https://twitter.com/vanityvonglow and, displaying their work and agreeing to a friendly chat at Harbinger's The Rapture ( their site here: http://www.harbingersarts.com/ ) were ARTŪRS BĒRZIŅŠ ( 1:02:00 in, his work here: www.berzinsh.lv ) Nazanin Moradi ( 1:07:56 in, her site here: http://nazanin.co.uk/ ) and Ray Fiasco ( 1:15:54 in, his twitter is here: https://twitter.com/RayFiasco ) The Munk Debate is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST6kj9OEYf0 Alongside clips from the podcast's back catalogue, all of which is sat in the archive waiting for you to find it... good luck!

0004 Dr David Clarke on UFOs and Mike Stuchbery the lefty historian
Dr David Clarke joins us to discuss UFOs and the UK's national archives. It's sure to throw a cat amongst the pigeons as regards a good chunk of the audience to the podcast so I expect your feedback. If you are intrigued by his work go to his website here: https://drdavidclarke.co.uk or follow him on twitter: @shuclarke Mike Stuchbery is an ardent anti-fascist and left wing twitter user. He has frequently been engaged in online battles with Infowars's Paul Joseph Watson and, as he says himself, this is one of the things that has given him such an impressive online presence. He tweets here @MikeStuchbery_ or, if you'd like to buy him a coffee, he has a website for that purpose here: https://ko-fi.com/mikestuchbery My twitter is here: @nickmargerrison Share the podcast far and wide. We're getting an impressive level of downloads since my return to podcasting, all jolly good fun. Thanks for the support so far!

0003 Nick Monroe, the censorship agenda, gamer gate and identity politics.
This episode features a new interview with the journalist and proficient twitter user Nick Monroe @NickMon1112 we cover the rise of censorship in the UK and its recent worrying increase. A genuinely draconian power emerging in our midst, or just a straightforward battle between good people and those who want to say mean things? Would genuinely appreciate feedback on this one. My twitter @nickmargerrison The podcast which interviewed me is excellent, follow it: https://twitter.com/MTCPODCAST The end is a clip from an earlier episode, 101 in the back catalogue.

0002 Lucy Brown, Far Right Watch and an old Peter Hitchens interview
This week we return to a major theme; free speech. Joining us we have Lucy Brown, who tweets as @LucyFrown on twitter. She gives us her point of view on the so-called "new right". A movement which involves younger people taking on perspectives which are traditionally seen as the preserve of dusty old folk. We also have John O'Connell, representing the twitter account and website @Far_Right_Watch he puts forward his view on "hate speech" and explains a position which we've discussed critically in the past on the podcast. Finally we have an old interview with Peter Hitchens, who tweets as @ClarkeMicah and is probably one of the most amusing accounts on that social media site, largely because he spends all his time arguing with randoms. Thanks for all the nice words about last fortnight's effort. We've got quite an audience cooking here, I didn't expect it to take off quite so quickly. Do keep spreading the word. We'll have another one in a couple of weeks, assuming the Goddess is kind in her chaos.

0001 The Nick Margerrison podcast ft Tom Fortes-Mayer and Emory Andrew Tate III
The podcast returns - with a new name, some new noises and plans to take over the world. Today's offering features interviews which have been kept in cold storage for some time, one on the subject of hypnosis (Tom Fortes-Mayer) and the other on the subject of censorship (Emory Andrew Tate III). Cult members are asked for ideas regarding some of the older content, what should we showcase to the new tsunami of listeners we're about to encounter? Also - who would we like to hear on the podcast, who might we convince to enter our lair? Nick's twitter is the point of contact: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison - send ideas and thoughts.

167 - Dr Penny Sartori on Near Death Experiences
Our guest this time round is described on her website thus: "Dr Penny Sartori worked as a nurse in a British hospital for 21 years, 17 of those being in Intensive Care. She is highly experienced and skilled in her role as an intensive care staff nurse; and has conducted unique and extensive research into the near-death experiences (NDEs) of her patients. In 2005 she was awarded a PhD for her research into NDEs. Dr Sartori’s work has received worldwide attention and media coverage. She has spoken at many conferences both nationally and internationally and her work has received the attention of HRH Prince Charles." I'm sure you'll agree, she was a great speaker. Her book is well worth a look, it works as a beginner's guide but then goes quite in depth. A little like this chat... Post your thoughts in the comments section of www.margerrisons.blogspot.com or tweet me on @nickmargerrison You can find Dr Sartori on @DRPENNYSARTORI Do share this particular episode far and wide. We're looking at a nice...
