Moose and Dews catch up old school-style with an audio-only podcast this week. With his offspring starting daycare soon, Dews has some actual parenting to do, so the Weds Twitch stream is on hold for now.

There's a bunch of stuff for the guys to talk about, including why Dews is so confused about childcare and ridiculously expensive SUVs. They eventually get onto the point of the podcast, and get talking about the changing plans for Primordial's 7th birthday party this coming September, and the ongoing plan to ditch Elon Musk's hellscape website.

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!

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.

Spring bank holiday weekend saw the Heavy Music Awards, followed by Slam Dunk festival, which means that festival season 2023 is go! Moose and Dews catch up to look at some of the issues that seem to have cropped up at the various events.

There's also a look ahead to the biggie; Download festival's 20th anniversary!

...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.

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!

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.

The conversation also referenced BrewDog, a business that hosts local gatherings and takes a decentralized approach. Moose even suggested the possibility of a franchising model for Primordial Radio.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

They discuss life, the universe and everything, while also drawing the winner for the Haul Of Fame PGM 2023 Prize Bundle.

With Dewsbury off full-time parenting for a couple of days, Moose is once again flying solo in this audio-only podcast.

There's a brief look at what's going on in Moose's head, followed by station news with a look ahead to the PGM 2023, and a whole bunch of questions from the PRfam.

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.

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.

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.

Fortuitously the podcast this week falls on International Women's Day 2023. Moose and Dews are joined by Tray Young of the Primordial Equality Advisory Group to discuss what that actually means, and why it's important.

After the last couple of weeks flying solo, Moose is rejoined this week by Dewsbury to discuss the latest in the world of Primordial, including the new "dynamic" pricing system and a brand new Haul Of Fame competition to win a PGM tickets package.

They also discuss payola - the practice of radio stations charging money to play a particular artist - and how (despite rumours) that will NEVER be the case at Primordial Radio.

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!

This week Moose & Dews are joined on the podcast by Katy Baker, founder of Metal For Good, a charity that aims to use the positive values of rock, metal and other alternative subcultures to make a positive difference in communities. 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.)

Mental health is a big part of what we do at Primordial Radio, and Time To Talk Day 2023 is a big part of the latest podcast. Moose talks to leading mental health advocate and resilience coach Josh Connolly about the importance of simply talking.

Dews and Pete also catch up to talk about all sorts, from Star Wars and The Orville to the Up-Vote and this weeks' sad news about Rock Sound magazine.

Moose & Dews catch up once again this week to bemoan the fact that it's been THREE YEARS(!) since the last Primordial Burns night event in Edinburgh. This was of course the night that changed Dewsbury's life forever when he discovered popcorn haggis. 

There's also the latest in Dewsbury's adventures in parenting, involving a PSA on the dangers of prunes, as well as the latest in the world of Primordial Radio, including the upcoming Up-Vote Top 100 countdown, and February's guest for the Primordial Radio Residential show.

Moose & Dews catch up once again to discuss the past weekends festivities at Tom's Tap in Crewe, along with the trials and tribulations of owning a bus, simply existing in the 21st century, and having a tie-dye-coloured mid-life crisis.

The guys also get onto the latest rock news, including NOFX tour dates and a new, backing-track free festival in Germany!
