The Nick Margerrison Podcast

An old interview with Armando Iannuci (Alan Partridge, The Day Today, The Thick Of It) comes out of the archive this week. Never broadcast in this form it's available for the first time now. Also The Cult Of Nick's plans for the podcast to jump from hundreds of listeners to thousands in one month are outlined. Once you have downloaded the instructions into your brainium success is assured... The occult symbolism inherent in James Bond is explored with the help of Philip Gardiner And you get a reading of my recent rant: "Why we're not living in 1984 today: 'Orwell's Oversight'" The music is from ZeroFriendsRecordings Don't forget folks, that album is here And my Twitter is

I’ve kept an eye on the developments taking place in the world of the ‘virtual currency’ Bitcoin. “Buttons” is a guy who traded on forums but he has now had to cease this after his account was closed and his bank became inexplicably uncooperative. His story is ongoing and, with his permission, we will return to him in the event of any major developments. Also, on this podcast, I explain the album which a friend and I have made. It can be found here: http://tunes.zerofriendsrecordings.co.uk/ I’m on one of the tracks, “The Awakening”. The rest is the work of ZeroFriendsRecordings and has been designed, with my help, as a meditational aid using the tarot deck’s major arcana. A proportion of the price you pay will go back into funding this podcast's hosting costs. You may recognise them, they've been the music backgrounds to The C.O.N. for a while now.

Today's podcast begins with a new version of "The Global Awakening". The music on it is from Zero Friends Recordings. This is followed by an interview with www.wethepeoplewillnotbechipped.com My Twitter is here.

This podcast contains an interview with Shirley Phelps-Roper from the Westboro Baptist church, less widely known then than she is nowadays the piece also features gay rights activist Peter Tachell. Also there's an interview with a couple of people about a film called "Islam: What the west needs to know". It's one view on a very contentious subject. Right at the end of this podcast is Part 5 of Essays For The Discordian Occultist. These essays will form the spinal collumn of my book but are, in early form, already published in full on www.disinfo.com The music on this podcast is from Zero Friends Recordings.

David Oates is here. His stuff about reverse speech is ace! The Church Of The SubGenius is here. The Reverend Ivan Stag, Praise Bob! My blog is here. Twitter.com/nickmargerrison The music is from Zero Friends Recording The podcast's facebookpage is here. Rah rah Discordia!

This episode of The CON features Anthony Peake and Billy Bragg. The former is a literary favourite of mine, his books hang in the void between awesome story telling and genuinely solid research. The latter is possibly more famous in the UK than in the US. However he gives an engaging interview and I suggest overseas listeners look up his work. Speaking of which...

Introducing Poe Boy! This week's podcast features an interview via Skype. I'm not keen on it, prefer phonelines, but there wasn't any other way. The person we're chatting to has been featured in The Daily Mail, irritated Ricky Gervais and mildly amused Stephen Fry. It's another unique interview to the podcast, I intend to return to the archive next week. The blog entry which caused this episode: IS HERE The new music I'm using is from ZER0 FRIENDS RECORDINGS Our guest's Twitter is HERE My twitter is here: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison

On this podcast we speak to one of the stars of a recent UK TV documentary about our nation's Alien Abduction Hotline, Joanne Summerscales.

This is one of the many Icke interviews in my archive, it was initially going to be my firs upload but then I realised you kind of need the background to his belief system for it to really make sense. Hence it's my third upload of an Icke piece rather than the first. I've left a bit of "off air" banter in there. He is a very friendly chap and would occasionally give us bits of advice and thoughts related to stuff that had happened on the show. The music I use on this piece is here.

@tony_topping @NickMargerrison remember seeing the Sky200 chat too... good fella. keep up the good work — ⱭD (@dafta_duck) June 25, 2013 Tony gives us a rundown of some of his experiences in both the esoteric world and the slightly more predictable world of "the media". Tony has a number of incredible stories to tell and he's always engaging. He gathered quite a following after his appearances on both the old TV and radio shows.

The reality TV show Big Brother is clearly an off shoot of The Stanford Prison Experiment. I'm not sure I've heard anyone putting this point to its originator Phil Zimbardo before. This is the final bonus upload and it means all "The C.O.N." is now available on this podcast stream. The Cult now has an experimental Facebook page: www.facebook.com/cultofnick My twitter is here: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison - I prefer twitter, it's better. The music in the background on this is here: http://www.youtube.com/mmmontagemusic NM

Bob and Alice Maeder talk here about their daughter's involvement with the "Heaven's Gate" cult. There is a fantastic documentary on this subject here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBTLThA0wOw Don't forget you can contact me on www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison NM Music in background: http://www.youtube.com/mmmontagemusic

An interview with Carmen Reed. Interesting story I think. Give us your thoughts. Music from: http://www.youtube.com/mmmontagemusic My twitter: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison

The next bonus episode, there's one more of these to come. It contains The Dream Dudes, Pastor Deacon, Alf The Freegan and Frans De Waal. All of them became legends on the show. There's also a call in there about terrorism, it features my phone in style. Interesting because I'm not sure who I agree with, me or the caller. MUSIC : http://www.youtube.com/mmmontagemusic Keep sharing these bonus episodes, they're a good introduction to the podcast. Downloads are nice and high at the moment so it's very rewarding putting these together. My twitter: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison NM

This interview is a compilation of various conversations with Stewart Swerdlow. He covers almost every esoteric conspiracy theory you can imagine. I consider interviews like this to be an exercise in panning for gold. Have fun! Find me on www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison Music in background: http://www.youtube.com/mmmontagemusic

This episode features some very big name guests: Mark Thomas - excellent comedian and political activist ... oh, and healer. Peter J Carroll - probably the most respected living occultist in the english speaking world. His works are all classics. Uri Geller - MrFire? The reason it's so full of stuff is it's the first six episodes of TheCult Of Nick. Re-tweet the bejesus out of it. Facebook it so hard it cries. And err, you know, tell your friends.

The full unedited Bret "The Hitman" Hart interview we recorded for the old Kerrang show. Added to this is Part 3 of "Essays For The Discordian Occultist", a series I wrote for www.disinfo.com, which is gradually gathering a following.

Rodney Orpheus is a great guest. In my opinion the guy has his pitch just right. A rock and roll star by day and a master occultist by night. What more could you want? This interview is unique to the podcast and was conducted last week. I've interviewed him previously, as becomes clear, but I think this is the first time I really manage to tie him down to some of the specifics of what it is The OTO is about. The book he's written is excellent, The Grimoire of Aleister Crowley, but I suggest if you're new to this stuff you start with his first book: Abrahadabra. Originally I was kicking an old interview of his around then it occured to me that as we're still in reasonably regular contact it'd be odd for me not to buzz him on the phone and set up a little chat.
