Welcome to the Primordial Radio Podcast! In this episode, we’re discussing the growing divide between the real-world community and the “chronically online” keyboard warriors who seem determined to suck the fun out of the heavy metal scene.

The podcast also finds Moose in an emotional mood, as his youngest son has just left the UK to go travelling. Meanwhile, Dews’ son has just been ill, prompting a late-night trip to the doctor, in between bouts of being called a “stinky bum-bum-face” by an overly enthusiastic toddler. Sigh.

Following on from the joys of parenthood, and a brief – quite incredibly sweary – venting session from Dewsbury, the guys take a grateful look back at last weekend’s Primordial Up-Vote, and catch up on Moose’s charity fundraising efforts as he trains for the London Marathon. There’s also a small “what if” planning session, just in case he dies. You never know.

There’s also a discussion on some potential upcoming Primordial merch. Dews has only been wanging on about tie-dye for 5 years, and his prayers may soon be answered!
