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! That’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.

Nine years? NINE YEARS?! How on earth has Primordial: The Podcast been around for nine years?
This week, Moose and Dews take a moment to reflect on the journey they - and possibly you along 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…

They may not be wearing Santa hats, but this week Moose abd Dews are definitely thinking festive thoughts, reflecting 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)

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.
Thankfully 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.
Not 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!
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.

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!
The 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.

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.) Once 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…

Moose and Dews catch up again this week to talk about the power of belief. Whether 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.

The latest episode of Primordial: The Podcast sees Dews yet again recording from the Plague House. Possibly not *that* plague, but it’s still pretty horrible. Thankfully, Moose is joined by a Doctor! Specifically Dr. El of the PRFam, who ignore Dews’ illness completely, in favour of discussing her plans for the Primordial Clubhouse Crawl, which is being planned for 2026, and aims to support some of the fab venues run by members of the PRFam.
Moose and Dews also get chatting about the chock-full Primordial liquor cabinet, and some possibly controversial merch.

Moose and Dews catch up once again this week and it’s all about Donington, as Dews has just returned from the Download Festival 2026 launch event. Turns out the Barbican in London is big - like, really big - on concrete.
They go through the announcement, from the absolute slam-dunk, gold star booking of Limp Bizkit on a Friday night, all the way down the undercard, with Dews having a change of heart from his initial misgivings with Gun N’ Roses. They’re the most dangerous band on the planet, of course they’ll be excellent.
They also speculate on atmospheric conditions around Donington potentially creating an unusual cloud over the audience while Cypress Hill are onstage. Ahem
