With every intention of starting this episode off with a striking AI created Depeche Mode track I discovered...it's gone from the internet. How and why and what are the implications? should artists be forgiven for using AI artwork, do we judge younger or older bands in different ways? This and a quick look back at Primordial's hometown show last weekend

Episode 202 is a long and winding chat with Norwegian artist Kim Holm, if you have the live Primordial album 'Gods to the Godless' you can see his incredible live action portraits of the band in the inner sleeve. Kim is absolutely killing it online on his various channels, has long connections to the Bergen Black Metal scene and his individualistic take on creativity is both fascinating and challenging. This chat of course discusses all of this but also ventures into Kim's anarchist beliefs, geo politics and our political differences, mental health issues and all points in-between! It's a long one so strap yourself in!

Has your city turned into an endless procession of cranes building high rises and skyscrapers with unnamed and unseen tenants? all the interesting and curious places in the city razed to the ground to build apartments no one can afford that seem to sit empty or boutique hotels designed for moneyed tourists, artist and locals have had to move out as they can no longer afford the rent....and the character and heart ripped from the place? but would anyone even want that anymore anyway? welcome to Dublin right now, I discuss that and also a new theme tune for the podcast made by AI among other nonsense

As promised todays podcast is a spicey meatball, a sideways, darkly humorous but relatively serious look at Scotlands new Hate Speech legislation, Irelands own version waiting in the wings, why a variant might be coming to a country near you soon, why right here right now and what this means for freedom of speech and civil liberties. Also includes a Kenneth Williams reference and some other tongue in cheek nonsense.....

This weeks podcast is a statistical indulgence, I love maths and numbers so this is manna from hell! heavy metal hell.....an article came out publishing the most popular metal band from each country via Spotify stats, so I dig into those, what they mean, who cares, and what they say about rock and metals place in streaming culture. Primordial represented Ireland so I mull over that as well and wonder why i didn't tackle all the new Hate speech laws instead.....the pass of least resistance meets my obsession with statistics!
