THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR...who were they?

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR...who were they?

A thousand years give or take a few after their creation, the Knights Templar still capture the public imagination, why? what is it about their myth that is so enduring, what is real and what is just pure fantasy? From Indiana Jones, to Dan brown novels to dodgy power metal albums their famous imagery, sigil and deeds still loom large over our history. Sex, Murder, Money and Intrigue! So in this episode I continue the historical thread I've been on and look at who they were, where they came from and what is fact and what is fiction from this fascinating period of history!!!

The sad demise of the record store

The sad demise of the record store

E 110 is about how the record store formed a generation of kids, it worked as their social hub but also cast their love of music and for many a lifetime of collecting music but especially vinyl. How sub cultures back in the day were your peer group, through which you dealt with your raging hormones and sexuality along with your attitudes to life, coping and being a young adult. How your parents record collection was so important. Does that exist now? do kids get passed down anything other than redundant incompatible files? do kids even relate to musical subculture? AA certainly doesn't have the answer but he does a lot of shouting at clouds about the subjectwww.patreon.com/AlanAverillSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Hey buddy what's up?

Hey buddy what's up?

Episode 109 primarily about the suicide of Trevor Strnad the singer of the Black Dahlia Murder aged 41, what this represents in not only the metal scene but also in the wider world, the epidemic of young men taking their lives, did the pandemic as one youtube commentator state kill the guy, so AA looks back at a podcast recorded during the pandemic about coping with lockdown, but also depression and the dark impulses that drive us sometimes. Male suicide ain't a sexy topic that gets the algorithm moving nor is it a popular cause in the culture war/debate but this podcast deals with that, why are so many people feeling such strain, and some simple remedies for trying to cope with the black dog when it comes barking no matter what gender you are!!! The person you least expect it from might be the person struggling the most so reach out today with a 'hey buddy what's up'......support the show over atwww.patreon.com/AlanAverillSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Strip searched in Sweden

Strip searched in Sweden

The final part of the tour diary! normal service of returning to political, social, cultural commentary is being threatened! but until then this one goes through our strange ordeal at the border of Sweden, strip searched and a rather over zealous effort on behalf of the cops to humiliate and intimidate our tour company, needless to say it didn't work and the rock rolled on, these are not the droids you're looking for! and end up with a small discussion on why we all don't have to have a hot take, you can keep your opinions to yourself if you wish!, and that in my opinion we ain't gonna get a summer free from emergency to wind down! the powers that be are gonna keep the dial in the red!!support the show over atwww.patreon.com/AlanAverillSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
