Primordial Radio Podcast

Moose and Dews reunite for the first episode of YEAR EIGHT of the Primordial Podcast! There's a look back at their respective Xmas's, the joys of parenting a toddler, and thoughts on Dry January, which may be a thing for Dews, or may not.

As if Moose and Dews aren't erratic enough most of the time, try doing a podcast in the void between Xmas and New Year! They try anyway, and very nearly make it. It's a time of year for reflection, so they look back at some of the crazy events from Primordial's history, ridiculous Youtube videos and quizzes, through to some of the amazing live events that we've put on.

You want to make God laugh? Tell her your plans.  Moose and Dews catch up this week to discuss the latest developments with the Primordial General Mayhem 2024, specifically the cancellation of Creeper's appearance. Plans are already taking shape for a replacement headliner though, have no fear. They also draw the winner for the Primordial Xmas bundle raffle.

With over 102 MILLION VIEWS (!) at the time of recording, there's no way any other song can have been heard as much in the 36 hours since its' release, as Tom Petty's "Love Is A Long Road" in the new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, right? Moose and Dews discuss, as well as taking a long walk down a very Canadian memory Lane. There's also the latest on that PGM24 announcement with Creeper, As December Falls, and a whole load more!

There were times during summer when Dewsbury's camera would switch off during the video podcast due to overheating. There is little chance of that this week, as he and Moose catch up once again from their respective refrigerators; an attic and a shed.  The guys discuss what's coming up for Primordial - such as the PGM and the Xmas raffle - as well as their frustration with the things they can't yet discuss.

Our old mate Blowfish was last seen on Discovery Channel's Shark Week, experimenting with sharks and cocaine. As you do. He joins the guys this week to chat about what else he's been up, and his upcoming return to the Primordial airwaves! Moose and Dews also have a chuckle about "poster politics" and discuss the latest on the PGM 2024.

There's some weeks where there's not a great deal to talk about, and then there's some weeks where there's a lot! This week is definitely one of the latter. Dews is back together with Moose, as they are joined by Sean Ayling (Brewmaster at Tom's Tap & Brewhouse in Crewe) to discuss the latest PRFam meet-up, and the next meet in January 2024. Rozie White also joins the guys to discuss the upcoming 2024 Primordial calendar, and there's a bunch more stuff as well, including new merch, a new competition, and gin!

With Dews away in London, Moose and Pete catch up this week for the podcast. In the episode, they discuss the announcement from Download Festival, overall thoughts on the bill, and where the rock and scene is currently at in 2023.

With Dews taking a well-deserved week off, Moose and Pete catch up this week for the podcast. In the episode, they discuss how both of their houses are coming along, and the news of Kerrang! Radio going back on DAB+, Stress Awareness Week, Festival announcements, and PGM updates.  Primordial Radiohttps://primordialradio.com  https://www.instagram.com/primordialradio  https://tiktok.com/@primordialradio  https://www.facebook.com/primordialradio  https://www.twitter.com/primordialradio​ 

Congratulations to Primordial's Full Metal Hackett for managing to wear 107 t-shirts, in aid of Metal For Good's Metal Merch Day. He raised around £1400, with Metal For Good in total raising around £4000, which will be distributed in the form of grants to some great causes. As well as Hackett's charity endeavours, Dews wants to know all about Moose's recent trip to Canada for the weekend. Apparently it's easier to do that than drive to Newcastle from London and back.

How many t-shirts do you think you could wear at once? Apparently the world record is currently 260, which is what Primordial's own Full Metal Hackett is aiming for, in aid of Metal For Good's upcoming Metal Merch day fundraiser. This week on the podcast, Hackett and Katy from MFG join Moose and Dews to find out what, where and why.

It's an emotional day for Moose and Dews on the podcast this week, as it's the last podcast ever to be recorded in Moose's current studio. He's moving house soon, and leaving the house where the idea of Primordial, the planning, meetings and all sorts of other stuff took place. Hoverboards indoors also happened there. Not recommended tbh. The guys also reveal the new Halloween 2023 merch design (27min into the video version fyi) and discuss the upcoming Metal Merch Day.

We have just turned six years since the official launch of Primordial Radio on Sept 30th 2017, but as the guys were working on things significantly before that launch, it really feels more like seven years. Moose & Dews reflect on that time, and look forward to times to come.  There's also a look at World Mental Health Day, and the upcoming fun for Metal For Good's "Metal Merch Day."

Dewsbury is thinking of having his first proper haircut in almost 20 years, and Opeth have just been announced for Bloodstock 2024, so of course it makes sense for a podcast title, right? Moose & Dews also take a look at the rest of that 2024 Bloodstock line-up so far, as well as a potential Download festival leak that Dews isn't so sure of. They also cast an extremely cynical eye over the recent news that Live Nation is to stop taking merch cuts from bands playing their venues in the US.

Life is a funny thing, and you never know what it has in store for you. Dewsbury for example, used to play punk rock around Leeds in the late 90s/early 00s. We know where he's ended up, but one of his old mates from the Yorkshire music scene has followed a very different path. From Catalyst - the band that inspired his name - through the Sisters Of Mercy, Eureka Machines, Ugly Kid Joe (and many other projects) all the way to his Nameless Ghoul-hood in Ghost, Chris Catalyst has been a feature of the UK and international music scene for years. He's got a new album coming out in October, so joins Moose and Dews for a chat ahead of its release.   The video podcast is available via the Primordial Twitch channel here https://www.twitch.tv/primordialradio.

Good vibes aplenty this week, with Moose & Dews in fine moods as certain trying things in their lives are seemingly coming to a close, leading to new beginnings.  There's some details about a potential Burns night event (for 2025!) and the guys are joined by Katy Baker from Metal For Good, to talk about some of the great stuff the charity has been doing, and what is coming up! https://metalforgood.org/ The video podcast is available via the Primordial Twitch channel here https://www.twitch.tv/primordialradio.

Moose and Dews catch up from their respective sweatboxes this week, while steadfastly refusing to complain about being too warm! There's the latest on merch, and the newly-announced PGM 2024, then the guys get into talking about the latest rock news, featuring a 30-year old Nirvana reissue, Megadeth's latest line-up change, and the return of the Osbournes podcast.

Moose and Dews catch up again this week to put the world to rights. Dews has just got back from his counselling session (which is a weird time to record a podcast!) but mental health is one of the pillars of Primordial Radio, so the guys get into how they're feeling at the moment. TL;DR Holidays are needed all round! There's also news of new Primordial merch, and a potential return of the Burns Supper in Jan 2024.

Following on from an amazing weekend at Arctangent festival, Moose catches up with Dews once more for a debrief, as well as their usual exploration of life, the universe, everything, and why they're both so bloody tired!
