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. Contact the show via twitter.com/nickmargerrison

0020 INTERVIEW | The Money Burning Guy and a mask debate

Money burning seems like a wholly reasonable thing to do in the modern age, to some. Our guest explains how and why he burns his money. He also explains how you can join in and gives us an insight into his own rich past and philosophy. Here are links that take you further...

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.

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.

0008 #DiscordiaRising - Lucy Brown follow up interview

Lucy Brown, the former camera woman for Tommy Robinson joins us to explain what has happened since her last interview. In short, she's been attacked in the street multiple times, organised a huge protest in favour of free speech and left the employment of the EDL founder. Her website is here: www.lucybrown.info and she tweets here: www.twitter.com/lucyfrown "The right to openly discuss ideas must be defended" footage is here. The Rotherham report is here: DOWNLOAD IT AND READ IT Lucy's piece on the subject of Tommy Robinson and the subsequent mass protests which have been seen in major cities up and down the UK is here. The end bit where I bang on about free speech and boats is taken from the impenetrable earlier podcast, The Cult of Nick, which preceeds this one. It's one of the most difficult episodes to listen to but weirdly it's had 1,000's of downloads - MAGNUM OPUS II

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.
