Dear Pink Floyd Fans!
With great joy and a lot of excitement we present our new podcast about Pink Floyd called Fingal's Cave!
I've had the idea of starting a podcast about Pink Floyd (especially the live experience) for a long time. But I knew from the start that there was only one person I wanted to start this project with and that was Ian Priston. Ian is not only the author of two superb Pink Floyd books (Embryo - A Pink Floyd Chronology 1966-1971 by Nick Hodges and Ian Priston /
Pink Floyd: BBC Radio 1967-1971 by Ian Priston and Phil Salathé) but also very well known in this community for his tireless work researching new recorders, better generations/masters from Pink Floyd concerts.
I contacted Ian a few months back and fortunately he was very interested in participating in this venture. After an extensive preparatory phase, I traveled to London and we recorded the first episode. Despite a few technical problems, we are satisfied with the result and hope that you will have as much fun listening as we had recording it.
We will have one episode per month and plan to invite guests in the future. The podcast will be available on all major platforms, we will add the links later.

Shownotes:
In this first episode Nils Zehnpfennig and Ian Priston talk in general about researching live Pink Floyd recordings and how breakthroughs can be made. They also discuss how tensions in the band in the 1970s not only caused damage, but were also important for the creative process, helping Pink Floyd produce some of their best work. Nils: "We decided not to rehearse the episode to keep it as authentic as possible and recorded it in a single take in a hotel room. It is unedited and we didn’t have any notes to refer to, so it is a bit rough around the edges and there are some minor errors. Ian Priston wishes, for example, that he referred to Phil Salathé and not just Phil, and notes that he has been researching Pink Floyd for 35 years in total and 25 years in earnest, with the commencement of research for his first book, which he co-wrote with Nick Hodges. We originally planned to release a video of the Podcast. For various reasons, however, we have decided to only provide audio. Please excuse the few references to the video."
All the Best!
