An Evolution in Rock and Metal Radio.
Welcome to the Primordial Radio Podcast! Moose and Dews are back this week catching up on Dews' birthday (which he may mention once or twice) in a bid to avoid the now-traditional, post-40 birthday existential crisis. We all get them, right?Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7

Welcome to the Primordial Radio Podcast! Have you ever tried to record a lighthearted music-based podcast, but it ends up going down a tinfoil-hat-filled wormhole filled with potential threats, imaginary lizard people, and real evil billionaires who - it turns out - actually do run the world from their supervillain island lair? Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7
Welcome to the Primordial Radio Podcast! In this episode, we're discussing the growing divide between the real-world community and the "chronically online" keyboard warriors who seem determined to suck the fun out of the heavy metal scene.Listen to Primordial Radio 24/7

Community has always been at the heart of Primordial, and this week the guys highlight a special case, where a couple of PRFam members cannot make a gig, so are offering their tickets as a competition prize. Scuffy & Deak, we salute you!https://links.primordialradio.com/listenThat's just one example among hundreds of random acts of kindness that have come about because of awesome folks in the PRFam. Moose and Dews also discuss an upcoming momentous change for Primordial, in the form of A FOURTH RULE! Since time immemorial, Primordial has had 3 rules; Don't be a dick, do the right thing, and if in doubt, see rule 1. This is all about to change. Crazy times. Dewsbury also soft-launches his bid for Ambassadorship, presumably in the hope of free Ferrero Rocher chocolates.Website - https://primordialradio.comDiscord - https://primordialradio.com/discordYouTube - https://links.primordialradio.com/youtubeSpotify Playlist - https://links.primordialradio.com/spotifySOCIALFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/primordialradioInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/primordialradioTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@primordialradioMETAL FOR GOOD CHARITYCheck out our chosen charity, Metal For Good, and the great work they do - https://metalforgood.org

Nine years? NINE YEARS?! How on earth has Primordial: The Podcast been around for nine years?https://links.primordialradio.com/listenThis week, Moose and Dews take a moment to reflect on the journey they - and possibly you with them - have been on over the past nine years, celebrating some of their achievements, while also looking to the future. The last few chapters may have dragged a bit, but the story is not over yet. In fact, it may even be time for volume 2…Website - https://primordialradio.comDiscord - https://primordialradio.com/discordYouTube - https://links.primordialradio.com/youtubeSpotify Playlist - https://links.primordialradio.com/spotifySOCIALFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/primordialradioInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/primordialradioTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@primordialradioMETAL FOR GOOD CHARITYCheck out our chosen charity, Metal For Good, and the great work they do - https://metalforgood.org
It's that gooch of the year between Christmas and New Years Eve, but Moose and Dews catch up regardless to discuss festive joy, tantrums, overindulgence and overstimulation, and that's before they even mention Dews' toddler.https://links.primordialradio.com/listenThis week the guys reflect on their respective Christmas experiences, while looking ahead to a few upcoming Primordial events, and some potential New Year resolutions.Website - https://primordialradio.comDiscord - https://primordialradio.com/discordYouTube - https://links.primordialradio.com/youtubeSpotify Playlist - https://links.primordialradio.com/spotifySOCIALFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/primordialradioInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/primordialradioTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@primordialradioMETAL FOR GOOD CHARITYCheck out our chosen charity, Metal For Good, and the great work they do - https://metalforgood.org
They may not be wearing Santa hats, but this week Moose and Dews are definitely thinking festive thoughts, https://links.primordialradio.com/listenThis week they reflect on the past year, discussing the emotional complexities of the holiday season, and - Dews in particular - cursing the day that an Elf first appeared on the shelf. But what Christmas podcast would be complete without excessive consumption and rampant consumerism? Definitely not this one, as they also reveal details of the annual Primordial Boxing Day sale in the merch store (use code XMAS25 any time from Dec 25th until Jan 6th to get 30% off everything except spirits, tickets and the Bargain Basement)Website - https://primordialradio.comDiscord - https://primordialradio.com/discordYouTube - https://links.primordialradio.com/youtubeSpotify Playlist - https://links.primordialradio.com/spotifySOCIALFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/primordialradioInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/primordialradioTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@primordialradioMETAL FOR GOOD CHARITYCheck out our chosen charity, Metal For Good, and the great work they do - https://metalforgood.org
In this latest episode of Primordial: The Podcast, hosts Moose and Dewsbury once again stretch the definition of “content” to breaking point with possibly the most anticlimactic prize draw of all time. Thanks to GDPR, they can't even say who won a thing. Meh.https://links.primordialradio.com/listenThankfully they're joined by DJ/streamer/PRFam member Alex Walker aka. Runny to discuss his upcoming 24-hour streaming event to raise awareness for COPD. There will be horror games, challenges, hot sauce and even hotter leg wax, but it'll all be to raise some money for a great cause close to Alex's heart.

Coming from the man who invented “charades on the radio” years ago (spoiler: it was rubbish) Primordial's very own Dewsbury now brings you ”An Audio Unboxing” to similar levels of success. There's a reason folks do this on video.https://links.primordialradio.com/listenNot to be deterred, this week Moose and Dews cover all sorts of topics, including Xmas presents, merch, and a potential Primordial event that may or may not be held in Dunky The Retired Goth's living room! (He doesn't know about this yet)They also discuss Moose's ongoing training plan for the London Marathon, but the real issue this week is with AI. The subject of AI-created music is a hot topic at present and - unbeknown to Dews - Primordial has already played several fully AI-created songs. The guys have their thoughts on the matter, but they're looking for yours, so let them know how you feel about it via email or on the Primordial Discord.Website - https://primordialradio.comDiscord - https://primordialradio.com/discordYouTube - https://links.primordialradio.com/youtubeSpotify Playlist - https://links.primordialradio.com/spotifySOCIALFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/primordialradioInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/primordialradioTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@primordialradioMETAL FOR GOOD CHARITYCheck out our chosen charity, Metal For Good, and the great work they do - https://metalforgood.org

Moose and Dews are back once again, and even though podcast episode numbers are no longer a thing (this is E465 btw) they're already looking ahead at how they can make good on a longstanding joke, and do an *actual* spectacular for E500. That's a big milestone coming up! https://links.primordialradio.com/listenThe guys are also joined by podcast regular Katy Baker of Metal For Good, and podcast first-timer Andy Gregory, as they have some startling news that leaves Dews gobsmacked!There's also an introduction for the newest member of the team. At the urging of our dear, departed friend Neil Cossey, Primordial is in need of someone who knows financial matters, bookkeeping, and accounting (creative or otherwise!) Luke Bunn has been part of the PRFam since day one, and has recently stuck his hand out to assist, for which we are hugely grateful.Website - https://primordialradio.comDiscord - https://primordialradio.com/discordYouTube - https://links.primordialradio.com/youtubeSpotify Playlist - https://links.primordialradio.com/spotifySOCIALFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/primordialradioInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/primordialradioTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@primordialradioMETAL FOR GOOD CHARITYCheck out our chosen charity, Metal For Good, and the great work they do - https://metalforgood.org
Moose and Dews catch up again this week, with Dews in a slightly frustrated mood (the working title for this podcast was For Whom The Doorbell Tolls btw.)https://links.primordialradio.com/listenOnce he's got that out of his system, the conversation meanders through “Enshittification”, VHS, Betamax, and why one should not be an early adopter in the field of heart surgery. Seriously. Eventually, the guys get down to business with their first guest, Richard Hanson of Bewdley Spirits, who has recently finished distilling the all-new recipe of Primordial's Reckless Optimism gin, as well as the next batch of Dirty Panda spiced rum, both of which will shortly be appearing in the Primordial merch store with Black Friday discounts.They are also joined by the ever-enigmatic Metal Dwarf (Kris, to his friends) who is one of the minds behind Primordial's Burns Supper event, and also the accompanying limited-edition Primordial scotch whisky. The last batch sold out in record time, so keeping an eye on the merch store on Thurs 27th Nov might be a good idea…Website - https://primordialradio.comDiscord - https://primordialradio.com/discordYouTube - https://links.primordialradio.com/youtubeSpotify Playlist - https://links.primordialradio.com/spotifySOCIALFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/primordialradioInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/primordialradioTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@primordialradioMETAL FOR GOOD CHARITYCheck out our chosen charity, Metal For Good, and the great work they do - https://metalforgood.org

Moose and Dews catch up again this week to talk about the power of belief. https://links.primordialradio.com/listenWhether that's belief in themselves, in each other, in the “rightness” of their actions, or even just Dews' belief that one day soon he will not be ill (ugh) it's incredible what belief can do.ONLINE Website - https://primordialradio.comDiscord - https://primordialradio.com/discordYouTube - https://links.primordialradio.com/youtubeSpotify Playlist - https://links.primordialradio.com/spotifySOCIALFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/primordialradioInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/primordialradioTikTok - https://tiktok.com/@primordialradioMETAL FOR GOOD CHARITYCheck out our chosen charity, Metal For Good, and the great work they do - https://metalforgood.org

After confirming for 100% certainty that Dewsbury is not currently on meth (which kinda sounds like something that someone on meth would say) he and Moose catch up to discuss plans for the Primordial Burns Supper in Inverness next year. Tickets for the event will shortly be on sale from the website, including a hotel deal AND a trip to Loch Ness! How amazing would it be if the PRFam were the ones to finally confirm the existence of Nessie?! It could happen. The guys are also joined by Katy Baker from Metal For Good, who are the official charity partners of Primordial Radio. Moose and Katy discuss the charity's activities over the summer, current events, and look ahead to the upcoming Metal Merch Day, coming in October.

This week Moose and Dews catch up at an unusually late hour, leading to the kind of catch-up they'd usually have over a few beers. Sadly, being consummate professionals, there were no beers involved in the recording of this podcast. Boooo! After the usual discussion of life, the universe, and everything, the main topic of conversation this week is the titular dates for the calendar, including Metal For Good's upcoming Metal Merch Day, and the slightly less upcoming Burns Supper in January. They also brainstorm ideas for other potential events. This leads to the realisation that having two ticketed events within a week of each other would be very like Thomas The Tank Engine. It really *is* like a conversation they'd have in the pub.

Moose and Dews catch up again this week, after an excellent weekend of (relatively!) wholesome, fantastic fun on Dews' part Bloodstock festival 2025. Looking back on the weekend that was, Dews reflects on his experiences at the festival, including some excellent performances, excellent company, and one notably excellent nap. The guys discuss the incredible, vibrant community around Bloodstock, the excitement of connecting with fans, and the nuances of festival organization, including weather conditions and future announcements.

Moose and Pete are back for this week's episode of the Primordial Radio Podcast and are discussing whether or not it's time for the podcast to have a change. In the 8 years since we've started the podcast, video has become a much more important aspect, but so has discovery and SEO. Without changing the core of what the podcast is, Pete proposes ways we can grow the podcast via Spotify's new Partner Program, showcase other content such as the Radio Residency, but also maintain what we do now. The guys discuss the pros and cons and what will be the best moving forward. There's also discussion on Bloodstock Festival coming up this weekend.

Moose and Dews reunite this week, after far too many weeks where Dews has been working his other job. Cue much complaining about driving a van with no A/C in a heatwave... After a proper catch-up, they talk about important lessons the last couple of years have taught them, particularly about how they should run the business side of things, and where their efforts should be focussed. They also discuss the sad passing of Ozzy Osbourne, along with the fabulous response to Primordial's Ozzy tribute day last week. There's a look ahead to what promises to be a fabulous Bloodstock festival, and some excellent news from both Trivium, and the Big Bang 8!

In this episode of the Primordial Podcast, Moose and Pete reflect on the recent sold-out Big Bang event, discussing the challenges and opportunities in event planning, the importance of community engagement, and the need for a strategic focus on membership growth and content creation.

Moose is flying solo (ish) for the podcast this week, as Dews, Hackett and Pete all seem to be simultaneously washing their hair. Weird. He's not completely alone however, as he is joined by a fascinating guest. Lemmy's former personal assistant, Dan Hawcroft, joins Moose to talk about his adventures in rock 'n' roll, and his new book "Wasted Opportunities: Tour Tales and Stories From The Road". The story of the job interview is worth the price of admission alone. Moose also provides Big Bang 7 updates, (remember cash is king) and opines about the importance of being yourself.

**editor's note** We had some tech issues with the recording this week, but I've done my best. Apologies for random echoes. It's not perfect, but it's a sh*t-ton better than it was /D Join Moose this week, as he lives vicariously through Hackett as FMH recounts what he describes as "the best weekend ever," including a viewing party of Back To The Beginning and a day of Slayer in Finsbury Park. Amazingly - and somewhat unusally - the weekend featured no physical injuries and left him all agog. There's also some important advice for any first-timers attending the upcoming Primordial Big Bang 7; mainly bring cash, and how you can be instantly popular by ringing the bell, but that will cost you all of the aforementioned cash.

This week on the Primordial Radio Podcast, Moose & Pete discuss Download Festival 2026 Lineup Predictions, sifting through Download's new survey they sent out to fans. From Linkin Park whispers to a possible Bad Omens breakout, the guys pull apart every rumour, data point, and clue to guess who might top the bill at Download from June 10th-14th 2026. They debate why some heritage acts still pack fields, why others feel out of step and how Sleep Token's leap could potentially be repeated. There's also a quick reality check on festival creature comforts, clean loos, hot showers, and the long road from Monsters of Rock '88 to modern crowd-safety standards. Two live giveaways round out the chat: a streaming pass for this weekend's star-studded Black Sabbath set at Villa Park, and a pair of weekend camping tickets for 2000 Trees Festival.

Hackett returns from France this week, and joins Moose on the podcast to give a blow-by-blow account of last weekend's Hellfest in Clisson, France. He explains why - in his opinion - Hellfest is the best festival on earth and how the spirit of cooperation and collaboration is one that could well serve other festivals looking to improve. There's also pointers on how *not* to get over a virus, and why humans are not meant to use aluminium bins for diving practice. They also chat about when things go south in a band and someone has to go. Not only is it a hugely awkward situation, it can also lead to the end of friendships, or even lead to the breakdown of sibling relationships. Life is short, but hurt can run deep.

The podcast this week features the first-ever hosting appearance from Full Metal Hackett, as he joins Moose to discuss the festival that was Download 2025, an event that some are saying was the best Download *ever*! They reflect on the overall vibe of the festival, the changes in the audience demographic, and critique various performances, including the Sex Pistols and Korn. They also discuss various aspects such as festival facilities, logistical challenges, and their unique experiences with Hackett's new Big Orange Bus (RIP yellow van). The weekend was not without its moments though. Hear how Hackett dove into a river of piss, or what happens when plans go awry and you accidentally make your girlfriend walk for almost 3hrs whilst carrying all the camping gear. They also share their upcoming travel plans, predictions for future festivals, and delve into the controversy surrounding the band Sleep Token, highlighting the diverse opinions within the music community.
