CHAIRFEST! Where everyone gets a comfy chair to sit in and the bands don't matter, because at least everyone's is comfy, right? We're not sure about that G…

Business lingo is weird. If you don't know what it means, taking a holistic approach to a horizon check sounds like something you might need a doctor for, or at least a nurse, and possibly some gloves. Despite the lack of trained medical supervision, Moose and Dews nevertheless dive straight into a discussion of business lingo, and how some - not a…

As we approach International Women's Day 2024, Moose and Dews are joined by Primordial's Mental Health Champion Sam Harwood to discuss it's importance, and this years theme.

Moose and Dews catch up this week ahead of Time To Talk Day 2024. Mental health is one of the pillars of Primordial; one of the key issues that we consider in everything we do.

Moose & Dews catch up again this week following a successful trip to Crewe at the weekend for the Primordial Up-Vote top 100.

The video podcast is available via the Pr…

As if Moose and Dews aren't erratic enough most of the time, try doing a podcast in the void between Xmas and New Year! They try anyway, and very nearly make it.

With over 102 MILLION VIEWS (!) at the time of recording, there's no way any other song can have been heard as much in the 36 hours since its' release, as Tom Petty's "Love Is A Long Road" in the new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, right? Moose and Dews discuss, as well as taking a long walk down a very Canadian memory Lane. There's also the latest on …

There were times during summer when Dewsbury's camera would switch off during the video podcast due to overheating. There is little chance of that this week, as he and Moose catch up once again from their respective refrigerators; an attic and a shed. The guys discuss what's coming up for Primordial - such as the PGM and the Xmas raffle - as well a…

Our old mate Blowfish was last seen on Discovery Channel's Shark Week, experimenting with sharks and cocaine. As you do. He joins the guys this week to chat about what else he's been up, and his upcoming return to the Primordial airwaves! Moose and Dews also have a chuckle about "poster politics" and discuss the latest on the PGM 2024. The video po…

There's some weeks where there's not a great deal to talk about, and then there's some weeks where there's a lot! This week is definitely one of the latter. Dews is back together with Moose, as they are joined by Sean Ayling (Brewmaster at Tom's Tap & Brewhouse in Crewe) to discuss the latest PRFam meet-up, and the next meet in January 2024. Rozie …

How many t-shirts do you think you could wear at once?

This week on the podcast, Hackett and Katy from MFG join Moose and Dews to find out what, where and why. The video podca…

It's an emotional day for Moose and Dews on the podcast this week, as it's the last podcast ever to be recorded in Moose's current studio. He's moving house soon, and leaving the house where the idea of Primordial, the planning, meetings and all sorts of other stuff took place. Hoverboards indoors also happened there. Not recommended tbh. The guys …

We have just turned six years since the official launch of Primordial Radio on Sept 30th 2017, but as the guys were working on things significantly before that launch, it really feels more like seven years. Moose & Dews reflect on that time, and look forward to times to come. There's also a look at World Mental Health Day, and the upcoming fun for …

Dewsbury is thinking of having his first proper haircut in almost 20 years, and Opeth have just been announced for Bloodstock 2024, so of course it makes sense for a podcast title, right? Moose & Dews also take a look at the rest of that 2024 Bloodstock line-up so far, as well as a potential Download festival leak that Dews isn't so sure of. They a…

Life is a funny thing, and you never know what it has in store for you. Dewsbury for example, used to play punk rock around Leeds in the late 90s/early 00s. We know where he's ended up, but one of his old mates from the Yorkshire music scene has followed a very different path. From Catalyst - the band that inspired his name - through the Sisters Of…

Moose and Dews catch up again this week to put the world to rights. Dews has just got back from his counselling session (which is a weird time to record a podcast!) but mental health is one of the pillars of Primordial Radio, so the guys get into how they're feeling at the moment. TL;DR Holidays are needed all round! There's also news of new Primor…

Following on from an amazing weekend at Arctangent festival, Moose catches up with Dews once more for a debrief, as well as their usual exploration of life, the universe, everything, and why they're both so bloody tired!

After getting drenched courtesy of a flat car battery, and a dog that insisted upon being walked, we join Dewsbury in a grumpy mood. Joined as ever by Moose, the two of them ponder life, the universe and everything in this latest podcast. Topics up for discussion include broadcasting from festivals, and Skindred's newly-announced Wembley Arena show…

Moose has returned from his travels, so he and Dewsbury catch up once again live on Twitch, while also attempting a Discord experiment that - kind of - works. There's news of the current merch sale via https://primordialradio.com/merch/ as well as discussing being ditched by The Blowfish for the podcast, as he has a much better offer from CNN! Shar…

Moose is off to his square meter of land in Scotland this week (long story...) so Pete and Dews take the opportunity to have a catch up about the perils of smoking, and the benefits of parenting in ancient Rome. They eventually get on to talking about more important matters, with the big thing being the launch of the official Primordial Discord ser…

In this week's podcast, Moose and Pete take the helm as Dews is unfortunately under the weather. They kick off the discussion by celebrating the resounding success of the Big Bang Five, Pete then shares his experience of the 2000 Trees Festival and how he was refused service at the bar due to the risk of lightning! The guys also talk about the impo…

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 even…

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. The video podcast is available via the Pr…

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.

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 in…

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!

The video podcast is available v…

...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 Ni…

Moose and Dews reunite on the podcast this week, following on from a triumphant (and phenomenally sunny!) weekend, during which Dews finally got married!
