A&M Audio Adventures

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.
