Following on from part 1 of this podcast, the guys have put 50p in the metaphorical podcast-o-meter, so they can now get down to business.
This time round Moose and Dews discuss the upcoming Big Bang 2, and the effect that ticket sales could have on next years' AGM in April. They also talk about marketing and the latest membership figures, before getting onto the issue of mentoring.
In addition there's a guest appearance from Betsy the dog, and a wholly unwelcome appearance from Max the cat.
Plus there's a surprise delivery that really illustrates what Primordial is all about.
So here's the thing, with Bloodstock and a whole bunch of specials, we're running out of storage space for the month with our podcast hosting company. It'll renew on Sept 1st, but that meant this week's podcast had to be under 30 mins. Knowing Moose and Dews that just wouldn't happen, so if you're after the latest on the business side of Primordial Radio, we'll be publishing the second part of this podcast on Saturday (Sept 1st).
In the meanwhile this podcast sees Moose and Dews getting into a fairly serious conversation about some stories that have recently been in the news.
In this episode of the podcast Moose tells us about his recent holiday. DO. NOT. LISTEN. IF. YOU. ARE. EMOTIONALLY. DELICATE.
Seriously. This is your last warning.
Following on from the harrowing tale of Moose's holiday, he and Pete get talking about some of the basics of Primordial Radio, including our approach to adverts/ad-breaks (and the fundamental difference between the two) and "The Rules". Sadly, this conversation includes the phrase "laser-focus that goal". We're sorry about that. Look, Moose has had to attend a lot of meeting in his time. You can't blame him for picking this stuff up...
(EDITOR'S NOTE: FYI @ 52 mins my answer would have been "World Domination". Just sayin'... /D)
Moose is still away in Canadia so while we look forward to the Flight of Dickarus next week, Pete & Dews hold the fort with a surprisingly posivibes attitude, considering this is the eighth (EIGHTH!) podcast they've published this week.
They take a little look back at Bloodstock 2018, but then get down to business with talk of what this means for Primordial Radio and the effect it has had on the number of subscribers/free triallers. *SPOILER 1* It's pretty good news.
They also have news of a recent Primordial investor questionnaire that was sent out. *SPOILER 2* It's also pretty good news.
Welcome to this special bonus podcast of Primordial Radio at Bloodstock Festival 2018.

Moose is away this week, so Pete Bailey and Dews are left to fend for themselves. It's like two kids being left alone without a responsible adult.
There's a look forward to the upcoming Bloodstock festival, together with the plans for the #PRFam group photos and the plans for broadcasting from the festival.
There's also a look forward to the Big Bang 2 which is coming up in September, together with what seems like an advert for Cotswold Airport. Did you even know there was an airfield in the Cotswolds?
The guys also get talking about feedback from listeners and just how important it is for them - as presenters - on Primordial Radio.
After escorting the cat to the vet last week, Dews is back with Moose for one week only, as the big Canadian is heading back to his homeland for a couple of weeks very soon.
Wasting no time, the guys get into this latest podcast by talking about the common thread of organisation - or the lack thereof - that seems to follow them around. There's also a serious discussion on how beards can negatively effect the audio recording process.
There's also the latest on the merch situation and the membership update, which leads onto the main topic of conversation for this week; sales.
Ok, it might not be Moose's love eggs you can hear in the background. It could just possibly be one of his neighbours doing some work in the garden. Maybe. You'll think it's love eggs any time you hear it now though, right?
This week Moose is joined by Positive Pete Bailey to discuss the future, and some of the ace things it has in store for Primordial, like the #PRFam meet-up in Crewe, our impromptu birthday beers and our Halloween event. There's even mention of the initial plans for The Long Road to Brewin' 3!
There's so much to look forward to in the future, and we seem to be on track to get there successfully. This podcast is probably the most #posivibes Primordial Radio podcast yet! Just try not to think of love eggs.

This week the podcast had no title. Well, that's to say it had four possible titles, but no clear winner. So the guys go through them one-by-one and in the process deliver the latest podcast, as well as murdering a classic GnR song.
There's the latest merch update, as well as a membership update, and why the upcoming Bloodstock festival is so important to us. There's also quite a discussion on our own behaviour, and why it's crucial that we - moreso than anyone else - stick to the rules.

Hello and welcome to episode 78 of the Primordial Radio Podcast. Dewsbury is away on his jollies, swashbuckling his way around the United Kingdom so this week Moose and Pete have a catch up on all things social media, the development of studio 5 and a quick update on membership numbers.

The latest episode once again finds Moose and Dews philosophising without a licence. Not to worry, Dews had the good sense to cut most of it. Seriously, they went on for ages.
There's the latest membership update, and Moose has an ethical quandary.
There's also listener questions. Shedloads of them, on everything from studios and beer through to shares and the app.
This week in the podcast, Moose is pulling out of a mental funk; a strange blue mood that seemed to settle over the last couple of weeks. This leads to cod-philosophy between he and Dews, which is about as useful as you'd imagine.
There's also the latest membership update, including plans to grow Primordial, a discussion on swearing and the difference between regular censorship and self-censorship, and the guys discuss a suggestion for some kind of 'love songs' feature in which they both reveal themselves to be immature, sniggering idiots. You knew that already though, right?
Eventually they get on to the main subject for today, that being the changes that Primordial Radio has undergone, and the changes it has caused in both Moose & Dews. It's nowhere near as serious as it sounds.
This week the podcast starts with an apology for not actually finishing last weeks' podcast. Sorry about that. We'd promise that it won't happen again but... y'know. It will.
Moose & Dews team up once again to bring you the latest developments in the exciting worlds of data compliance! Membership updates! And merch updates! Plus there's a genuinely serious conversation on house rules, as well as an actual plan for the financial side of the business.
To balance the seriousness, Betsy joins in the conversation, and Dews is mauled by the cat. C'est la vie...
So Download festival 2018 has been and gone, and the guys were there in full force. This week they look back, not so much at the festival itself, but at the coverage they got and what they actually did there, to see what can be improved for next time. There's already plans afoot for Bloodstock...
They also throw some merch ideas around. Turns out some designs are more successful then others, so in true Primordial fashion, they'd rather do more of what works, and less of what doesn't! Seems obvious when you say it, but you'd be amazed how often companies don't do it.
THIS PODCAST WILL BE CONTINUED...
Welcome to this special bonus podcast of Primordial Radio at Download Festival 2018. There's chats with members of the PRfam, Parkway Drive, Massive Wagons, Avatar, TesseracT, Lawnmower Deth, Shvpes and the guys reflect on everything that's happened in the last two years and where we need to go from here.

This week Moose and Dews actually achieve their longstanding aim to record a relatively short podcast. With Download festival looming on the horizon there's pre-recording to do and packing that isn't going to do itself. That's not to say that they're going to click the "AUTO" button on the station as they leave for Donington, far from it. This week there's the latest on how exactly they plan to cover the festival, and how exactly YOU can help!
There's also the latest membership update, and - frankly - the most awful introduction to a podcast since podcasting began...
This week Moose and Dews ponder upon the meaning of life, the bleakness of absurdity, and what it would take to become the OFFICIAL ground cumin of the British Olympic Team.
They also talk about the Primordial Radio flags and how they didn't order enough of them, the latest membership update, and have some GREAT news about the Primordial Android app!
The main bulk of the conversation this week is about the upcoming Download festival, and the pointlessness of doing the same thing they've always done, in order to get the same content they've always got, with exactly the same results they've always come away with. It's time to try something different, except they're not sure what that is yet. Answers on a postcard...?
This week on the podcast Moose and Dews find themselves in an EPIC BATTLE AGAINST THE CLOCK! Seriously, Moose had a conference call so they needed to get this recorded.
There was an interesting question posed on Facebook recently about the possibility of genre-based shows on Primordial Radio. The guys give this question a fairly thorough answering, as well as a membership update, Everybody Gets One, the latest on the Android app, and the upcoming merch bundle.
This week Moose and Pete talk shop, with details of the latest merch update (including patches and flags), a look back at the latest Primordial pub quiz and what the future may hold for that idea, as well as talking about a major change to the 'Everybody Gets One' campaign. They also embark upon a tech-related experiment, with mixed results.
Also at the end of this episode, there's Dewsbury's full chat that he had with the inspirational Sylvia Lancaster for the pub quiz about the amazing work of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation.
Podcasting together? In the same room? What a ridiculous idea. It'll never catch on. That said, it does make things a hell of a lot easier to edit...
This week Moose and Dews find themselves in Studio 2 just prior to the latest Primordial Radio pub quiz. They reflect on the PRFamfest of the last weekend, along with their failings as event organisers. So. Many. Fails.
They also introduce the brand new Primordial Pimp Points, together with the money-can't-buy idea of Primordial Pimp Hats. No, seriously...
Boy oh boy, is this a content-fest or what?! Moose and Dews couldn't shut up this week so it's an extra long podcast. To be fair to them, there's a lot of stuff to talk about.
This week there's life advice that ends up veering dangerously close to a Mumsnet podcast, along with the latest on PRFamfest and the upcoming Primordial pub quiz. There's also an eye-opening membership update, and the closest we're ever likely to get to Dewsbury with a serious business head on. It's almost like he takes this seriously.
With the hangover from the AGM fading, Moose and Dews look back on the best Primordial event yet, and look forward to next year, and how it can be bigger and better!
There's also talk of the upcoming PRFamfest and the pub quiz.
It seems like it was yesterday when we decided to hold an AGM. It seems to be even more recent that we decided to hold it in Lincoln, and more recently still that we made any firm plans! Yet The Primordial Radio AGM: Drinkin' In Lincoln is THIS COMING WEEKEND!
Join Moose and Dews (guest starring Betsy Evans and a delivery driver) as they discuss the latest plans for the AGM, the associated presentations and what is yet to be done.
There's also big news of the new Primordial Environmental Consultant, and his appearance at the AGM, the latest on the pub quiz and apps, and - because we're British (apart from the Canadian) - much discussion of the weather. You're welcome.
Of all the ideas that have ever sprung from the Primordial Radio podcast, possibly the stupidest one yet features on this very episode.
Join Moose & Dews as they journey to Shit Mountain, while launching visual products via an audio medium. Y'know how Smellovision isn't a thing? Neither is this.
In amongst the stupidity, the guys have BIG NEWS on the next Primordial Radio pub quiz and there's the latest on the upcoming AGM.
