| E441 - The Great Download Festival 2025 Review | 18 Jun 2025 | 00:34:12 | |
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.

| E440 - Unmasking The Band President: What’s Really Going On? | 11 Jun 2025 | 00:47:45 | |
In episode 440 of the Primordial Radio Podcast, Moose and Pete discuss the sudden rise of the new band President. The guys explore how, with no public history, they suddenly landed on the Download Festival lineup, racked up a million YouTube views in two weeks, and sparked debate over industry plants and media manipulation. The band’s anonymity, theatrical videos, and sharp production immediately drew comparisons to Sleep Token. And there’s a reason: both acts share the same management. Rumours point to Charlie Simpson as the man behind the voice, and while he’s never confirmed it, the vocal similarity is striking. If it is Simpson, does that count as skipping the queue, or is it simply the reward of 20 years’ graft? But it’s not just about masks and mystery. They also discuss the lineup for Download Festival 2025, bands they're looking forward to seeing, Black Sabbath’s upcoming global stream, and why the £25 price tag is justified.

Eventually they get onto rock news and music-related topics, with a discussion about some newly announced tours, and Loudwire’s recent “dad rock” tournament, in which the ever-changing concept of the term is pushed to the limit.

| EP338 - The Top 5 Most Clickbait Podcast Titles Ever! | 28 Jun 2023 | 00:46:21 | |
Yeah, that podcast title is a total lie, although Moose and Dews do start out by discussing some of the realities faced by those running a business - particularly an online one - in 2023. They also get chatting about the recent Glastonbury festival coverage, in particular that of rock legends Guns N' Roses.

You know when you're in a situation where you've done all you can do, and now you've just got to wait for things to play out? That's where the guys find themselves this week. It's a tiring state to be in, as you find yourself just waiting for something to happen, when ideally you'd like to be pro-active and make something happen! It's not doom & gloom though - far from it - as life continues, and Moose & Dews get to have their weekly catch up.

The dust has only just settled, and some of the hangovers haven't even gone yet, but Moose and Dews chat once again on the podcast, this week taking a look back at Download 2023. From the low point of 7-hour traffic queues, to the high point of Bring Me The Horizon's bar-raising headline performance, Moose shares his experiences. There's also an insight into the actual processes involved in gathering and publishing content from a festival. Internet definitely helps!

| EP335 - It's That Time Again | 07 Jun 2023 | 00:39:15 | |
The day is here when thousands of rockers, metalheads and misfits will be making the annual pilgrimage to Donington for Download Festival, this year celebrating it's 20th anniversary! Moose and Dews catch up just before Moose hits the road, so they're on a time crunch to chat about everything that needs discussing, from the upcoming Big Bang 5, to Bullet For My Valentine on the Primordial Radio residential, as well as a look ahead to what will surely be a fabulous weekend.

| EP333 - The Number of the Semi-Beast | 24 May 2023 | 00:50:30 | |
...although "spectacular" may be over-egging it slightly. After almost 6.5 years, the guys have finally made it halfway to that all-important (for metalheads!) episode 666! Which means they only have 6 years to think of something to make it actually spectacular. This week, the guys are joined by PRFam member Stew Green, who is about to leave for Nigeria on a charitable mission to help people who require pacemakers, but otherwise wouldn't be able to afford them. Proper superhero stuff. There's also a look ahead to the Big Bang 5, as well as a look at some of the latest rock news.

| EP332 - Good Omens | 17 May 2023 | 00:50:45 | |
Moose and Dews reunite on the podcast this week, following on from a triumphant (and phenomenally sunny!) weekend, during which Dews finally got married! The wedding is one of the topics of conversation this week, but the main focus is on Mental Health Awareness Week, which is appropriate given that Dews had just been to a counselling session at the time of recording!

| EP331: Profit vs. People: Navigating the Ethical Minefield of Business Priorities | 10 May 2023 | 01:15:14 | |
As the rock and metal scene continues to evolve, so does Primordial Radio. In EP331 of the Primordial Radio podcast, Moose and Pete Bailey discussed various growth strategies, challenges, and future plans for the station. Both Moose and Pete agreed on the need for investment and growth, with Pete suggesting a diversified multimedia approach to reach fans through different channels and outlets. To keep content fresh and entertaining, Moose talked about appealing to a variety of tastes within the rock and metal scene. Pete chimed in on the changing content landscape, noting the decline in the popularity of reaction videos. The pair also touched on the challenges of recreating live experiences in the digital realm, exploring possibilities like Metaverse and VR gigs. Pete proposed branching out into multimedia and serving up specific content to cater to different fan preferences. They acknowledged the fragmentation of the rock and metal scene and the importance of providing content tailored to specific niches within it. In discussing future strategies for Primordial Radio's growth, Moose highlighted the potential of investing in successful areas such as events and merchandising. He also emphasized the value of human resources and refining roles within the organization. Pete acknowledged the importance of expanding the base for merchandising and attracting new users, while Moose envisioned opening merch sales to a broader audience beyond just Primordial members. Both Moose and Pete agreed that constructive criticism is essential for improvement and invited listeners to share their suggestions on how they would invest a million pounds to enhance Primordial Radio and attract new users. Moose and Pete explored integration strategies like attending concerts, festivals, joining communities, events, and volunteering. Pete mentioned the struggle with scalability and the distinction between community and audience, but Moose countered with an example of Hell's Angels as a large, well-organized community with local chapters. Finally, Moose and Pete touched upon the recent PGM event, emphasizing the importance of event quality for marketing. They discussed the challenges of balancing costs and attendee expectations, expressing their priority to do right by the business and attendees rather than trying to please everyone.

| EP330 - Moving Up in the World | 03 May 2023 | 00:55:36 | |
Moose and Dews catch up in the aftermath of a most triumphant weekend in Wolverhampton, to discuss the PGM that was. There was music, food and fun galore, but it was not without it's issues, one of which being that there is STILL a knackered rental van in a supermarket car park somewhere along the M40. Yikes. There's also a look ahead to a (potential!) couple of upcoming events TBA... The video podcast is available via the Primordial Twitch channel here https://www.twitch.tv/primordialradio.

| EP329 - What A Difference A Year Makes! | 26 Apr 2023 | 00:47:24 | |
Moose and Dews catch up again this week to reflect on the difference between the lead-up to the PGM 2023, and one year ago in 2022, when they guys were all getting increasingly nervous. No such worries going into this year, thankfully! There's also a brief chat about Primordial's next event in the summer, and Dewsbury has one of the worst ideas for a charity fundraiser ever.

| E430 - Canadian Springwatch is EXTRA! | 02 Apr 2025 | 00:50:56 | |
Moose and Dews catch up this week with chat about new music releases and upcoming events in the heavy metal scene. Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine - who is also Music Director at this summer’s Back To The Beginning/Black Sabbath show - has been interviewed recently, and has hinted at surprise superstar guests for the event. The guys speculate on potential appearances by stars such as Rob Halford, Elton John, Jack Black and other notable figures, with one major conclusion; If they’ve ever had beef with Sharon Osbourne, they won’t be there! The conversation then shifts to Linkin Park's recent comeback, exploring the challenges they face in ticket sales and the dynamics of the current live music scene.

| EP328 - We Hardly Knew You | 19 Apr 2023 | 00:46:44 | |
You know when something seems like a great idea, but then - years down the line - you look back and realise that maybe it wasn't? That's the exact scenario the guys find themselves on the podcast this week, having just bid farewell to the Inkubus; a vehicle that was to be a mobile studio for events & festivals, as well as accomadation and a source of revenue. Sadly, circumstances just didn't work out, so the guys are joined by Primordial Dad (the man who did most of the work on the bus!) to say goodbye.

| EP327 - Better Late Than Never | 12 Apr 2023 | 00:34:04 | |
Moose and Dews catch up this week, once again just after Dews has had a therapy session, which makes for a weird way to start a podcast.

| EP325 - One Month To Go | 29 Mar 2023 | 00:48:50 | |
Moose and Dews catch up once again precisely one month before Primordial's best-selling event ever; The PGM 2023. Understandably, the guys are excited, but their excitement is tempered by the fact that - not for the first time - they are both in total disagreement with the majority of people when it comes to merch designs. Thankfully they've learned their lesson over the years, so there is an actual plan in place, based on actual numbers! Shocking.

| EP324 - We Long To Be Sell-Outs | 22 Mar 2023 | 00:55:05 | |
The Primordial Podcast has always been a kind of record; from the very first episode with nothing but Moose and a microphone, it's been a consistent recording of the thought processes, the decisions, and the outcomes of the last six years. However this does slightly cause an issue when there's a week where nothing much happens. This podcast is one of those weeks. A week when Moose and Dews get to catch up and discuss life, the universe, and everything, from Hey Duggee and laundry, to event line-ups and merch decisions.

| EP323 - Analyse This! | 15 Mar 2023 | 00:49:49 | |
You know how sometimes things just happen at the right time? The podcast this week is exactly the opposite of that, as Dews had just had his very first session with a counsellor. This prompts much soul-searching, with many more questions than answers, although we do find out what a dick Dews' inner voice is, and what he thought of Enter Shikari in Manchester the other night.

Pete and Dews find themselves indisposed once again, so it's back to our roots with an audio-only podcast from Moose, answering your questions on past, present, and future Primordial plans. Questions like "what would we do with a £1,000,000 donation?" "If you could go back and do it again what would you do differently?" And of course, that old chestnut "would you have sex with Bugs Bunny?" Those questions and more answered so belly up to the trough and consume!

| E429 - Ghost: If You Have Phones... | 26 Mar 2025 | 00:50:20 | |
Hosts Moose and Dewsbury catch up again this week to discuss the innovative - and controversial - phone-free concert experiment to be carried out by Ghost on their upcoming tour. The thinking is that people who spend entire shows recording on their phones creates a disconnected experience, which the experiment aims to remedy by removing phones from the show, while allowing people to keep hold of their possessions at all times. Is forcing people to relinquish their mobile devices a step too far? Or is it a necessary step to create a better experience for all? The guys discuss the issue, with their differing viewpoints. The conversation also touches on the recently-announced Powerwolf show at Wembley, updates on new merchandise, and Moose and Dews updating their social calendars for gigs.

The last time Katy was on the podcast in summer 2022, MFG wasn't a charity, so things have definitely progressed! The guys also catch up about the latest in the world of Primordial, including a reveal of an upcoming merch collab (43m30s in the video if you wanna see.)

Of course there's a Rush reference in the title. Of course there is. Once that hilarity is out of the way, Moose and Dewsbury get on with the serious business of A.I. vs human. Can they - and can YOU? - tell whether a gig review was written in advance by A.I. or by a real-life person who was actually there? It's more difficult than you might think.

Whether monkeys - brass or otherwise - have ever had their balls frozen off remains to be seen, but the fact remains that Dewsbury is bloody cold in studio 2!

| E428 - Are Sleep Token Overrated? | 19 Mar 2025 | 00:47:47 | |
Moose returns to the podcast, so this week he and Dews catch up, with the main topic of conversation being Download 2025 headliners Sleep Token. The guys ask the question “are they overrated?” and the answer may surprise you. Given that Sleep Token only debuted in 2016, and that they are soon to release their fourth album proper, it’s remarkable that they are soon to headline the UK’s largest rock festival. Equally remarkable, are the facts that…
If questioning whether the band is overrated or not, surely these numbers alone beg the question “who is doing the rating?”; If a band is highly-rated, but literally millions of fans are loving their music, can they be overrated? Moose and Dews explore the dynamics of industry hype in music, discussing the double-edged nature of hype, the importance of organic reach, and the authenticity of music.
