In 1926 an Irish woman, Violet Gibson, shot Mussolini from almost point blank range in the face, almost changing the face of history.....almost. An obscure character in Irish and world history, where did she come from, her beliefs, how did she get so close to 'El Duce' and why did she disappear from history until recently. Irish history obscura part who knows!! support the show over at : https://patreon.com/AlanAverill Primordial on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQ sponsored by Metal Blade records https://metalblade.indiemerch.com/ promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your order ships worldwide For info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficial or email alan@dragon-productions.com Primordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/ death metal VERMINOUS SERPENT https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTA doom DREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXA goth APRILMEN https://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast [http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast]. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Iron Maiden's new drummer conundrum leads us to more free speech issues this time to begin with. This week I discuss the case of Bob Vvylan at Glastonbury festival, getting the crowd to chant "Death to the IDF" (Israeli defence forces). Is this artistic license? certainly it was shown on the BBC, who the taxpayers pay for their license to do so, yet members of the public are going to jail for tweets, is this just? via Kneecap as usual....you'd swear it was a marketing scheme at this stage eh? and on to Velvet Sundown, an AI 70s style rock band who Spotify have been pushing who with no backstory have 500 000 monthly listeners and rising....what is fake and what isn't, let's get to the bottom of it all..... support the show over at : https://patreon.com/AlanAverill Primordial on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQ sponsored by Metal Blade records https://metalblade.indiemerch.com/ promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your order ships worldwide For info on my work as a booking agent go to: https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficial or email alan@dragon-productions.com Primordial cds/lps available from https://www.metalblade.com/primordial/ death metal VERMINOUS SERPENT https://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTA doom DREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXA goth APRILMEN https://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast [http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast]. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
