What is A&M Audio Adventures about?

Rock podcasts and audio fiction long-form stories with engrossing characters and lavish sound design. More than just a radio show, we create full-feature comedy adventures and story-filled rock shows. Original, scripted and in HD audio. Twisted tales and immersive podcasting. All characters written and performed by Adrian Byrne & Michael Taylor. In Moshtalgia, there's absurdity, snark, and blistering twin-microphone facts from Taylor and Bourney, fully harmonised with double-tracked wailing and complaining. We men do play on ten, to Valhalla and back. Best served with beer and a side of silliness. Lie back and enjoy it. Come join us on a review of those now-vintage LPs we loved in the 1980s from the bands that parted us from our money. It isn't just two friends chatting in front of microphone about their long-haired heavy metal days. Well it is, but also it's much more. Dive deep into the spurious subconsious of two middle-aged metallers regaling the days of their youth with squirming stories, analogue anectodes, and antsy accusations from the east coast of Ireland. We name and shame, mostly ourselves. Remember that first metal album? First concert? The rock ballad you first copped off to on a disco dancefloor with nervous hands and dry lips? Yeah, you do. We let the hair on down the back, steal tapes, photocopy covers, and even buy a bullet-belt. We deftly sew patches on our denim jackets, and pilfer magazines in the shop. Offering our metal heroes no quarter. We praise and prosletyse, we ridicule and rile. We spar with each other and the teenage illusions we had when hearing these masterpieces. Armed with a sonic scalpel, we cleave our way through track by track, appraise hits and filler a generation on. Who dared battle the Saracen? Who gave love a bad name? Who danced on glass? Listen and find out. Tune in to rock radio again, hear it as it was, all entombed by fat and freckled guitar segues brought to you by our resident riffer, that man from Annamoe; Pat 'The Fingerer' Shaughnessy! We rifle through the pages of once-mighty UK rock organ Kerrang for hot takes of the late Eighties. Hear the words of Malcolm Dome, Dante Bonutto, Sylvie Simmons, Howard Johnson, Chris Watts, Alison Joy, and Mick Wall as they gurn over the news, interviews, and reviews of the day. Moshtalgia exposes many a metal mistake, a misheard lyric, and as much madness as your mind can muster. You will hear the voices of the bands giving comment directly here on our podcast. Their voices voiced through our own larynxes that is. Hear the doyen of UK rock radio, Tommy Vance, along with producer Tony Wilson, deliver rock and metal weekly for a scant-yet-prescious two FM hours on the UK's BBC Radio One. If you know it, you're in for a treat on this show. If you don't, you're still in for a treat on this show. Rock on Tommy! It doesn't matter what age you are. We absorb musician autobiographies and gorge on metal authors to skull it back, slurp it down, and regurgitate back up for your listening pleasure. Moshtalgia is a delirious day trip to the past with a gimlet wince and a black-toothed grin at rock and metal from the 1980s. Just let me rock! Moshtalgia with Taylor and Bourney. A proper podcast. In our audio fiction, we make audio adventures for your inner 15-year old. We are the head boys with original strange stories. Feature-length, full fx and showcasing new characters. We have over 100+ hours for you to catch up on when on the bus, on the job, on the toilet. Sci-fi, historical and modern, we educate your aural orifice with comedy audiofilms. The Friday Rock Show - a 2-hr rock show with music and stories! Kept back for many many episodes! United Mutations and Panspermia - An original small town alien invasion series - 15 hours so far! The Mental Holmes trilogy - Bunk off with Tomathy Wilson and Aubrey Holmes in 1922, 1923, 1924! Mount Pheasant - Teaching you about the gnarly old Richard Pheasant. And many many more podcasts. So do your homework! Listen to A&M. A&M live in splendid isolation. Unchained to script, record, create and make our shows for the sheer love of it. In the backwoods of the Irish countryside, away from the outside world, since 1987. Passing on our shows by hand or by taping our midnight broadcasts, you could hear us. From cassettes, to CDs, to minidiscs, from local radio stations, state radio stations to online global stations, we're always making new stories and shows available. Untouched by outside events and trends, unmoved by all the marketing shite around us, we develop new ideas, new plots and new ways to make us laugh.

A&M Audio Adventures - Adrian & Tony Radio Show II (ATRS)
play

01/01/24 • 68 min

Maggots, perilous cliffs, and feral woodsmen - oh my! Join Tony and Adrian on the survival trip from hell as their dreams of an epic adventure with Bare Grills descend into a rainy, injury-filled nightmare.

With nothing but Tony's bag of tricks and Adrian's wit to keep them going, their hilarious missteps and cringe-worthy meals will make you think twice about going into the wilderness unprepared. Their journey concludes with a strange twist that you won't see coming!

ATRS: The Adrian & Tony Show, is basically just that, two male presenters engaging, for one hour, in the hard art of coping with all the slings and arrows of outrageous idiocy that befalls them each time they go on air.

In this second episode, the presenters make an appearance on an all new 'Running Wyld' with Bare Grills. Famous DJ Adrian Byrne and producer Tony Wilson of the Friday Rock Show are Bare Grills’s guests tonight for a survival test in the windy wild west of Ireland.

Over the next two days they’ll traverse treacherous terrain in the remote Irish highlands. They’ll descend towards a mountain lake surrounded by deep bogs and find food and shelter for the night.

On Day Two they’ll reach a coastline and have to find their way down deadly sea cliffs to their extraction at the sea. Or will they?

This ain't just jogging around and posing with the flat stomach, this is actual real work, with heart-in-the-mouth, balls-rammed-up-yer-pipe endurance where raw testicles are eaten and ropes are clung on tight to for dear life, in this most epic of outdoor podcasts ever attempted.

Not to mention the dark spirits that lurk in the woods...

Appreciate this audio adventure now.

We love to listen here at Amplevoicepod. We spend hours upon hours of studiously perfecting our aural output. And here's another little gentle squeeze of your ear, just to kind of say "hi" and "we're here if you need us".

If you're having or had a bad time recently or just want to zone out of the modern madness that is the visual world, come join us back here in the comfortable cushions of audioland.

With A&M, you can sort of disappear into another richly-filled and fantastically-realised soundscape of pure fun and escapism. All you gotta do is close your eyes and press play. It is cathartic.

And now, that we have you here, just what type of amazing audio adventure awaits you?

We have over 100+ hours for you to catch up on when on the bus, on the job, on the toilet! Sci-fi, historical and modern, we educate your aural orifice with comedy audiofilms!

The Friday Rock Show - a 2-hr rock show with music and stories!

Kept back for many many episodes! United Mutations and Panspermia - An original small town alien invasion series - 15 hours so far!

The Mental Holmes trilogy - Bunk off with Tomathy Wilson and Aubrey Holmes in 1922, 1923, 1924!

Mount Pheasant - Teaching you about the gnarly old Richard Pheasant. And many many more podcasts such as Frumpy Dumpster and the awesome Timefiddler.

A&M Audio Adventures - The Friday Rock Show - 43 - Battle Breasts
play

01/01/24 • 127 min

This week on the Friday rock show, hosts Adrian and Tony receive a dramatic letter from listener Norbert. He describes his turbulent relationship with Mimi, a former lap dancer with aspirations of fame.

Norbert recounts how he recently attended Mimi's autobiographical play, only to find their past romance completely omitted. Furious, he confronts Mimi backstage, leading to a heated argument that turns into passionate sex.

Meanwhile, Norbert's online flirtation with another woman, Dawn, takes an intimate turn - until Mimi's sudden reappearance leaves Dawn witnessing their tryst through the webcam.

After this whirlwind of clashing expectations and desires, Norbert requests a song to commemorate the chaos. Tune in to find out which band Adrian and Tony select for this melodramatic tale of fame, intimacy, and omitting the past.

Producer Tony Wilson says: "Battle Breasts! Yes! This is The Friday Rock Show! Episode No. 43... Another two hours of MADNESS! I created this show back probably before you were even born and turned out the way you did. I'm sorry 'bout that."

"But looka! I'm on the cover of this show too, 'coz I'm a glory-hole. In this episode we get down on the phone to Noora Louhimo from the band Battle Beast as she tells us tales of running around the Finnish forests naked with the other band members. Then the 'Black Swordsman' jumps out and you know yis can never go back then."

"We hear bizarre, bemusing but brilliant stories from Tom Shergar, Baldy, Mimi, Cathy, Eric, Tucker and even a big sick story from Payter Farher as my ever presenting donkey DJ Adgeen Byrne tries to keep up in his old age."

"Music too from many moshers will keep you tappin' the toenail off the bed corner. And listen up now to the full fat 2-hour show itself. The whole lot of this FRS No. 43 and much more is blatantly exposed and shameless tarted up on all good podcastery."

A&M were bred mouldy in the backwoods of Wicklow, Ireland, where inspiration and insanity produce alchemic audio.

Mount Pheasant III

A&M Audio Adventures

play

01/01/24 • 75 min

Mount Eidel is shocked, the Jurassic Burkes livid, and trapper Tom is about to strip down to his loincloth. It all kicked-off on a typical Friday night in Dessie Grafton’s pub as DJ Sammy implored the drinkers to clap their hands.

One-by-one the face-offs began. Dick Pheasant with Tighe, Barney, and Brendan Burke outside the back. What’s that Tighe has in his hands? A crossbow?

Then the hair-sprayed pastor squares up to Dick in the gent’s toilets, proselytising and patronising. With a spray of L’Oréal he’s wafting out the door to pin down new local vicar Reverend Hillstrand to offer a hand of friendship. Or is he?

The morning after, chaos descends as Cottle Fardell, driven by Ponkin Bourke on his moped, delivers shopping up to Dick Pheasant’s flat. But just what is that on the end of his bed? And how did it get there? Just what happened last night? Paranoia and fear grip the hungover air.

Get ready to run for your life through the Ballygannorn woods as Dick plunges into the thicket as friend and foe collide in this twisting thrill-ride loaded with hairspray, disguises, and school desks in the middle of the woods.

Can Dick survive tyres, cattle prods, electric cables, and a raging river to reveal the truth behind the reverend's assailant?

The Jurassic Bourke family are on the chase. The unethical and outdated Pastor is in pursuit, and the well-meaning trapper Tom Kendall strips off and teams up with Cottle and Ponkin for cash. All of them have declared open season on the ‘great Mount Eidel pheasant hunt’.

All of them want Dick Pheasant.

Follow the clues, red herrings, and daring plans as this thrilling manhunt leads to a fiery showdown and a shocking confession. Burnt bloodery in the woods!

Mount Pheasant III. It’s a fight for the future.

An A&M audio adventure.

Starring; Richard Pheasant, Cottle Fardell, Ponkin Bourke, Tom Kendall, Pastor Badpaw, The Jurassic Burkes; Barney, Brendan and Tighe.

Also appearing; Dessie Grafton, Reverend Hillstrand, Garda Dwyer, Eamonn and Sandra, DJ Sammy, Fiddler Nolan and Terry Willers.

Written, created, and voiced by Adrian Byrne and Michael Taylor.

A&M bring you original strange storytelling inside their audiofilm comedy drama adventures. Submerging your ears in a sea of sound, putting you at the heart of the story along with our heroes.

Bursting out feature-length stories with over 40 titles and 50+ characters, all created from collaborative ideas and sculpted over months to arrive at the final mix.

A&M exists in glorious isolation, bringing you unique tales with our shows. It's big, it's bold, it's podcasting done! Eh, right?

A&M Audio Adventures - The Friday Rock Show - 49 - Evicted
play

01/01/24 • 164 min

The Friday Rock Show is being evicted! Turfed out on their ear, Adgeen and Tony are physically ejected as a Sharp WQ-T234 crashes to the kerb behind them. After 33 years, fat-infested local landlord Alun inherits the lease, reports the boys for tax evasion, as he’s done squatting in his 1970s Farrhar-made crud-filled caravan after being kicked out by his wife for bending over young ones outside Moneystown dance hall.

Adgeen and Tony have to sling their slash-hook. But there’s one last Friday Rock Show to record before they are homeless. And what an elephantine episode it is! The longest ever FRS. The longest ever letter! Possibly the crudest most disgusting collection of original sick and twisted tales ever assembled in one show, all blazoned in a glorious world of foley effects and score.

There’s a preternatural tale from Tucker Peacock, when joined by the Timefiddler and his dog Biscuits, they seek out local man Oliver, prising open the case of the haunted sex doll.

Jagger wheezes into battle with his crucifixes and holy water, morphing into his alter-ego ‘ The Scourge’ to meet his match in the Woolmaster at the community hall. There’s chanting, dogs, sheep, tape recorders, and a naked man jumping around.

The spittingly nervous Neddy Busher claims a desert island in his own name and spends 100 days in ever-deranged isolation, with only a fat round rock for company that reminded him of Byrnie’s head.

Harvey Normal recounts the ‘Thirty Year Wait’® for former gloryists Liverpool FC to win their domestic league, the ups and mostly downs, from winning under Dalglish to near misses under the French Houllier.

Not done with this football club; ‘man of science’ Orpheus Telch dons a kaftan to travel to Qatar to see Liverpool in the Club World Cup final, in a pragmatic pursuit of the meaning of obsessive fandom. From the stands, things take off almost instantly.

This Friday Rock Show has it all, if all to you means football, drama, laughs, and sheep in a local hall. You won't want to miss it!

Tristan Pigeon-Pole Paisley buys Ard Avon House in Rathdrum and takes a photo of an eerie green apparition in his newly-purchased decrepit manor, little does he know he's stumbled upon a portal to the spirit world. With the help of his intrepid equally-alcoholic friend Tomty, Tristan is determined to unravel the identity of this "Green Lady" and the tragic history that binds her to the manor.

Not forgetting Baldy, and his new-found yet soon-lost love Anna Lee, where he writes into Adrian and Tony to tell them of his love, using 150 Bon Jovi song tiles for some bizarre reason.

Come on in and listen to a visit to Mr. Gansey and his 18 cats, hear some smooth jazz and his television blaring out episodes of ‘Minder’. Mr. Gansey wants you to have his house when he’s dead, the only snag being you must live with him until he dies.

Music oozes forth from Cavo, Ozzy, Sabaton, Ghost, Slipnot, and Volbeat! Also too from other bands with more than one word in their name.

The Friday Rock Show. More than just a podcast. More than just a show.

It’s institutionalised!

Let us lash the air off your pimply blue skin with our massive violent eviction!

A&M create original, scripted, character & plot-driven comedy dramas. We construct fully immersive HD audio fiction adventures.

Listen now to adventures from Mount Pheasant, Timefiddler, UCLS, Mental Holmes, ATRS, Frumpy Dumpster, United Mutations, Panspermia and the Friday Rock Show.

All with beautiful sound design and irreverent humour. A little bit Irishy. A little bit Englishy.

A&M Audio Adventures - Moshtalgia - Episode 10 - Christmas Special
play

01/02/24 • 50 min

This is Moshtalgia. A podcast about albums we love, albums that were important to us growing up.

As the scent of cinnamon and pine fills the air, there's nothing quite like the discomfort of Christmas music to truly unhinge the festive spirit. In our latest podcast episode, we unwrap the tinsel-covered tales of Christmas past, revisiting some of the most iconic holiday tunes that have become as much a part of our celebrations as the tree itself.

From the nonsense of The Darkness's 'Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End)' to the heartsquirming Moshtalgia of Wham's 'Last Christmas,' each song carries a story, a memory, and a magic that's undeniably Christmas. We delve deep into the making of these tracks, the artists who brought them to life, and the legacies they've created.

But it's not all jingle bells and choir carols. Our episode takes a turn down memory lane, exploring the poignant narratives behind songs like 'Fairytale of New York' by The Pogues and the raucous cheer of Slade's 'Merry Xmas Everybody.' We discuss the impact of these songs on our holiday traditions and why they continue to resonate year after year.

As you deck the halls and trim yer tree, let our podcast be the soundtrack to your festive preparations. Join us as we celebrate the sounds of the silly season and maybe even discover the stories behind the Christmas classics you thought you knew. Pour yourself a glass of Eggnog, settle in snug by the fire, and tune in to our Christmas Special – it's an audio gift that keeps on giving.

So, what makes a Christmas song endure the test of time? Is it the melody that echoes through the shopping centre speakers, the lyrics that tug at our heartstrings, or the artists whose songs have become synonymous with the festive season? Find out in this episode, filled with laughter, insights, and a touch of alcholic yuletide cheer.

There's absurdity, snark, and blistering twin-microphone facts from Taylor and Bourney, fully harmonised with double-tracked wailing and complaining. We men do play on ten, to Valhalla and back.

Best served with beer and a side of silliness. Lie back and enjoy it. Come join us on a review of those now-vintage LPs we loved in the 1980s from the bands that parted us from our money.

It isn't just two friends chatting in front of microphone about their long-haired heavy metal days. Well it is, but also it's much more.

Dive deep into the spurious subconsious of two middle-aged metallers regaling the days of their youth with squirming stories, analogue anectodes, and antsy accusations from the east coast of Ireland. We name and shame, mostly ourselves.

Remember that first metal album? First concert? The rock ballad you first copped off to on a disco dancefloor with nervous hands and dry lips? Yeah, you do.

We let the hair on down the back, steal tapes, photocopy covers, and even buy a bullet-belt. We deftly sew patches on our denim jackets, and pilfer magazines in the shop.

Offering our metal heroes no quarter. We praise and prosletyse, we ridicule and rile. We spar with each other and the teenage illusions we had when hearing these masterpieces.

Armed with a sonic scalpel, we cleave our way through track by track, appraise hits and filler a generation on. Who dared battle the Saracen? Who gave love a bad name? Who danced on glass? Listen and find out.

Tune in to rock radio again, hear it as it was, all entombed by fat and freckled guitar segues brought to you by our resident riffer, that man from Annamoe; Pat 'The Fingerer' Shaughnessy!

We rifle through the pages of once-mighty UK rock organ Kerrang for hot takes of the late Eighties. Hear the words of Malcolm Dome, Dante Bonutto, Sylvie Simmons, Howard Johnson, Chris Watts, Alison Joy, and Mick Wall as they gurn over the news, interviews, and reviews of the day.

Moshtalgia exposes many a metal mistake, a misheard lyric, and as much madness as your mind can muster. You will hear the voices of the bands giving comment directly here on our podcast. Their voices voiced through our own larynxes that is.

Hear the doyen of UK rock radio, Tommy Vance, along with producer Tony Wilson, deliver rock and metal weekly for a scant-yet-prescious two FM hours on the UK's BBC Radio One.
If you know it, you're in for a treat on this show. If you don't, you're still in for a treat on this show. Rock on Tommy! It doesn't matter what age you are.

We absorb musician autobiographies and gorge on metal authors to skull it back, slurp it down, and regurgitate back up for your listening pleasure.

Moshtalgia is a delirious day trip to the past with a gimlet wince and a black-toothed grin at rock and metal from the 1980s.

Just let me rock! Moshtalgia with Taylor and Bourney. A proper podcast.

A&M Audio Adventures - Moshtalgia - Episode 02 - Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet
play

01/01/24 • 49 min

This is Moshtalgia. A podcast about albums we love, albums that were important to us growing up.

Stumble down memory lane to revisit one of the most iconic albums of the 1980s: Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet." Released on August 18th, 1986, this powerhouse of an album not only catapulted Bon Jovi into the stratosphere of rock superstardom but also left an indelible mark on the music industry and fans alike.

In this episode of our podcast, we delve deep into the grooves of Slippery When Wet, exploring the stories and the energy behind hits like 'Livin' on a Prayer,' 'You Give Love a Bad Name,' and 'Wanted Dead or Alive.' These anthems became more than just songs; they were the battle cries of a generation, the soundtrack to countless memories, and the hymns of rebellious youth.

We discuss the album's inception, the genius of producer Bruce Fairbairn, and how Bon Jovi's New Jersey roots influenced their sound and lyrics. The episode also pays tribute to the late Fairbairn, whose production credits include not just Slippery When Wet but also Bon Jovi's follow-up New Jersey and AC/DC's Razor's Edge.

But it's not just about the music. Come back to a time when rock radio was king, and magazines like Kerrang were the bibles of rock fandom. We reminisce about tuning into the Friday Rock Show on BBC Radio, presented by Tommy Vance, and how these media shaped our experience of discovering Bon Jovi across the Atlantic.

Our journey doesn't stop there. Presenters Taylor and Bourney share personal anecdotes of growing up in Ireland, the thrill of catching radio signals on a good day, and the cultural phenomenon that was Bon Jovi in the British Isles. We even dive into the critical reception of the album, discussing Rolling Stone's snarky review and contrasting it with our own teenage perspectives.

Slippery When Wet sold over 28 million copies, and its legacy endures. It's a testament to the timelessness of great rock music and the enduring appeal of Bon Jovi. So whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the classic rock scene, this episode is a must-listen.

There's absurdity, snark, and blistering twin-microphone facts from Taylor and Bourney, fully harmonised with double-tracked wailing and complaining. We men do play on ten, to Valhalla and back.

01/01/24 • 74 min

After escaping an abusive marriage, Lindor finds her new life haunted by the shadows of the past when a school reunion stirs up traumatic memories. Driven by a burning desire for vengeance, she begins eliminating the men who caused her pain one-by-one. Lindor stops at nothing to right the wrongs done to her, even if it means becoming a killer. This audiofilm promo introduces her chilling mission of revenge, and the high price she pays for retribution. Closure comes at a cost.

Frumpy Dumpster is an A&M feature-length audiofilm. A podcast with bite. The fateful story of Lindor Lamb, a middle-aged woman who has just about had enough of men. As a young woman back in the 1990s, those were naive care-free days for Lindor, until that is when she encountered boss Payter Mayhem at Charry Marry Fun Park and then her school headmaster Sean Wrigley.

Further anguish was caused by her husband, the 'Old Bruiser' himself as she termed him.

Frumpy Dumpster is a feature-length explicit and sometime farcical story from A&M. We create original, scripted, character and plot-driven comedy dramas.

We construct fully immersive HD audio adventures. More than just a podcast.

Listen now to adventures from Mount Pheasant, Timefiddler, UCLS, Mental Holmes, ATRS, United Mutations, Panspermia and the Friday Rock Show. All with beautiful sound design and irreverent humour.

A&M Audio Adventures - Moshtalgia - Episode 08 - Motley Crue - Girls, Girls, Girls
play

01/02/24 • 64 min

This is Moshtalgia. A podcast about albums we love, albums that were important to us growing up.

Step into Taylor and Bourney's metal time machine as we revisit one of the most flared-nostril albums of the 80s: Mötley Crüe's 'Girls, Girls, Girls'. Our latest podcast episode is a deep dive into the hedonistic world of a band that defined an era with their wild antics and unapologetically simple sound.

With over 4 million copies sold, 'Girls, Girls, Girls' skyrocketed to the top of the charts and became a staple for the Sunset Strip. But what's the real story behind the songs? From the adrenaline-fuelled title track to the syrupy 'You're All I Need', we explore the music, the myths, and the men behind the piss-stained mascara madness.

We'll take you behind the scenes of the album's creation, recorded at studios One on One in Los Angeles and Conway in Hollywood. Hear about producer Tom Werman's influence, the band's struggles with addiction, and the wild lifestyle that nearly ended it all.

But it's not just about the chaos. We delve into the craftsmanship of hits like 'Wild Side' and the infamous 'Girls, Girls, Girls', examining the lack of lyrical depth and missing musical mastery that often gets necessarily overshadowed by the band's notorious image.

There's absurdity, snark, and blistering twin-microphone facts from Taylor and Bourney, fully harmonised with double-tracked wailing and complaining. We men do play on ten, to Valhalla and back.

Best served with beer and a side of silliness. Lie back and enjoy it. Come join us on a review of those now-vintage LPs we loved in the 1980s from the bands that parted us from our money.

It isn't just two friends chatting in front of microphone about their long-haired heavy metal days. Well it is, but also it's much more.

Dive deep into the spurious subconsious of two middle-aged metallers regaling the days of their youth with squirming stories, analogue anectodes, and antsy accusations from the east coast of Ireland. We name and shame, mostly ourselves.

Remember that first metal album? First concert? The rock ballad you first copped off to on a disco dancefloor with nervous hands and dry lips? Yeah, you do.

We let the hair on down the back, steal tapes, photocopy covers, and even buy a bullet-belt. We deftly sew patches on our denim jackets, and pilfer magazines in the shop.

Offering our metal heroes no quarter. We praise and prosletyse, we ridicule and rile. We spar with each other and the teenage illusions we had when hearing these masterpieces.

Armed with a sonic scalpel, we cleave our way through track by track, appraise hits and filler a generation on. Who dared battle the Saracen? Who gave love a bad name? Who danced on glass? Listen and find out.

Tune in to rock radio again, hear it as it was, all entombed by fat and freckled guitar segues brought to you by our resident riffer, that man from Annamoe; Pat 'The Fingerer' Shaughnessy!

We rifle through the pages of once-mighty UK rock organ Kerrang for hot takes of the late Eighties. Hear the words of Malcolm Dome, Dante Bonutto, Sylvie Simmons, Howard Johnson, Chris Watts, Alison Joy, and Mick Wall as they gurn over the news, interviews, and reviews of the day.

Moshtalgia exposes many a metal mistake, a misheard lyric, and as much madness as your mind can muster. You will hear the voices of the bands giving comment directly here on our podcast. Their voices voiced through our own larynxes that is.

Hear the doyen of UK rock radio, Tommy Vance, along with producer Tony Wilson, deliver rock and metal weekly for a scant-yet-prescious two FM hours on the UK's BBC Radio One.
If you know it, you're in for a treat on this show. If you don't, you're still in for a treat on this show. Rock on Tommy! It doesn't matter what age you are.

We absorb musician autobiographies and gorge on metal authors to skull it back, slurp it down, and regurgitate back up for your listening pleasure.

Moshtalgia is a delirious day trip to the past with a gimlet wince and a black-toothed grin at rock and metal from the 1980s.

Just let me rock! Moshtalgia with Taylor and Bourney. A proper podcast.

This hilarious episode covers everything from '80s rock to stalkers, fires, and digestive mishaps. Adrian and Tony take us on a nostalgic musical journey back to 1986, but things take a dark turn when Chris describes animals planning to end it all.

Just when you think it can't get crazier, Gerry Dixon ignites a fire at a Taylor Swift concert. And if that wasn't enough, Ramsey Longstaff assaults a dwarf on the set of Game of Thrones when curry gives him the runs.

Then a letter arrives from Tucker Peacock Wilson about his chaotic trip back in time. Alongside the eccentric Fiddler and his time-traveling horse-cart, they picnic to '80s tunes, get caught in a storm, and end up stranded after a deadly crash. It's a dangerous, nostalgic ride. You don't want to miss the insanity!

A&M Audio Adventures - Yuletide Yobs - A Christmas Carol
play

01/01/24 • 40 min

Dick Soupe and Spike Mulligan are trying to earn money they owe Patsy their landlord for rent. The two are late for their morning shift as Santa Claus and elf at Swizzler’s Department Store, run by Mohammed Alfajar Fulhamhole.

Dick’s reaction to this seasonal job, coupled with a ‘Furby’ toy craze of that year and his lusting after young mothers, has Dick and Spike soon arguing over their pints in Joe Goggleses’ pub.

They’ll be turfed out of their flat before Christmas if they don’t get Patsy’s rent money. Spike moans about it while reading his new book on Nostradiddymus, the "middle century cacker" as Dick calls him.

Dick decides the best way to deal with things is to sleep on it, only to be visited by apparitions who take him on a journey to witness pivotal points of his past, present and of his future - should he stay on this path...

Yuletide Yobs is a vulgar little vignette of one man’s transformation again, again and again...

Podcast Q&A

Why did you start this show?

Becuase we love what we do for 37 years, since we were kids shouting into a microphone together down in a basement, and continuing to this day, 1000s of kilometres apart, over the internet, recording on a Saturday in and around our other lives. What better way to stay on your toes than to write, record, edit, and produce content that makes us laugh and gives us energy for the week ahead.

What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?

A few laughs and a little bit of weird wisdom. It's hard to get into something completely new, original, and experimental. It takes time and taste, and as taste is subjective, it's pleasing if someone else shares our sentiment for audio fiction comedy, for twisted tales, for disturbing characters, for a little Irish bizarre bazaar.

Which episode should someone start with?

Probably the Moshtalgia Christmas Episode to introduce you to our style and content. It's a giggling look at Christmas songs that we remember when growing up. Full of information, voices, quotes, music, and much more.

Which have been your favourite episodes so far?

We both enjoy the Moshtalgia series of vintage rock album reviews, as it's great fun to record, three hours of back and forth. However, editing it down to an hour is a beast. How many 'ums' and 'ahs' and mistakes can there be? Millions! My most rewarding production is the 'United Mutations' trilogy, a near 4-hour sci-fi epic that took a year to make, with great action setpieces. Adrian would say his favourite is 'Timefiddler', because he wrote it and voiced the main character Tucker Peacock.

Which episode are you most proud of?

See above. Plus 'Frumpy Dumpster', a nice story on a middle-aged woman taking murderous revenge on the men who wronged her in her life. It's a comedy, it's a bit puerile too, but it has it's pathos and tragedy in there too. Gleaned from a real-life story, it was a challenging recording session, and a marathon editing one. 32 tracks of audio, and a lot of effects and foley to make it all feel real to your ears. Our Moshtalgia is an 'interview'-type podcast, but all else are fiction adventures.

What is your vision for your show?

To always be the warm embrace that listening to them is. A legacy of well-recorded testament to creativity, nonsense, and fun.

What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?

The one and only: Athletico Mince.

How did you come up with the name for your podcast?

We are Adrian and Michael. We make audio fiction adventures. A&M has been us since 1987.
