Erk FM: International is a music podcast featuring various artists from countries apart from Erk’s own – Australia. Available every Wednesday from December 2011, it is a companion podcast to Erk FM: Australia released on Fridays. Both podcasts were formerly on Fridays from January 2009 until November 2011 as Erk FM. This approach allows Erk to focus on Australian music in dedicated episodes while also allowing more exposure for overseas artists.

 

In 2012 & beyond, Erk FM: International episodes are numbered with odd numbered episodes & Erk FM: Australia episodes are numbered with even numbered episodes.

Erk FM: International 343 – Arresting Global Music!

by Erk

Welcome to episode 343 of Erk FM: International. As has happened before, Erk loves it when a new music supplier finds him. Erk loves it even more when a new music supplier sends him an episode's worth of music in one email - that saves Erk a lot of time! Erk also loves it when someone gives a guide on how to say their name - who knew that Nina would rhyme with China? There will be a range of music heard on this episode including an arresting song or two!

Erk FM: International 341 – Quirky Mayday!

The episode starts off quirky, is a little bit up and down in style but this is what sometimes happens if a music supplier has a lot of bands of different styles on their books.

Erk FM: International 337 – A Little Less Wisdom & A Bit More Catching Up!

by Erk

Welcome to episode 337 of Erk FM: International. Erk's been to the dentist (at 2.30, no less!) so we'll see how well he can talk. The first 2 songs could be described as novelty signs, especially the second song Erk first heard on the Halfway Around The World podcast. The first 2 songs are really topical for a music podcaster. Most of the artists in the rest of the episode are returning artists to Erk FM who have supplied him music on more than one occasion.

Erk FM: International 335 – Catching Up

by Erk

Welcome to episode 335 of Erk FM: International. During his time in the US, Erk had many music submissions via email. On this episode, Erk tries to catch up on the submissions. Some of the artists (for instance Sam Page & Postcode) have been played on Erk FM before while many of the other artists are new here. It is also good when artists refer other artists to Erk or let him know about side projects they are working on.

Erk FM: International 333 – On The Road Past The Point Of No Return

by Erk


Welcome to episode 333 of Erk FM: International. Erk is back from his trip to the US & his cruise on 70000 Tons Of Metal. Back in the studio after spending March on trip related content, here is a small sample of music that Erk got to see live on the trip. Of course, if Erk did not have a metal podcast, this episode could be filled with metal. But because he does have a metal podcast, most of that metal will not be heard here but on Erk FM: Metal Monday.
  An early highlight of Erk's trip was to New Orleans, arguably the jazz capital of the world. Regardless of if you are on world famous (or infamous?) Bourbon Street, Frenchman Street or one of the many side streets in the French Quarter, there is always plenty of music to catch up with.
  The first band Erk caught, he found playing in one of many clubs on Frenchman Street. Dominck Grillo & The Frenchmen St All Stars are aptly named as a result. The second band on the episode were one of many quality buskers that Erk found in & around Bourbon Street. While they might have been busking at the time, it is a good way to practice, expose themselves to new audiences, earn some extra coin & also sell some CDs. This is exactly what Erk found with The Smoking Jazz Club. Unfortunately, Erk could not find a website for either band.
  The next stop on this episode (but not on Erk's real life travel plans) was New York. While Erk was cruising around the New York subway, he met another person busking, Arlethia. Grabbing a quick chat in between songs, the subway crowds won't wait for me to stop talking, they will be walking.
  From 70000 Tons Of Metal,...

Erk FM: International 331 – Next Stop Japan?

by Erk

Welcome to episode 331 of Erk FM: International. This is the final episode of March 2013 and the last episode that Erk pre-recorded before leaving Australia for the US. Erk's next overseas destination may be Japan. Erk visited Japan for a week in 2011 but wants to go back. He didn't see a lot of music being played live when he was in Japan apart from street performers but as this episode shows, there is Japanese talent out there as well as imports to Japan from other countries.

Erk FM: International 329 – Jamaica? Nah, She Wanted To Go!

by Erk

Welcome to episode 329 of Erk FM: International. Considering that Erk cruised around part of the Caribbean during his recent US trip, it is a good time to feature some music from Jamaica. Even though he didn't make it as far as Jamaica, Erk has thought for some time that Jamaican music is cool, mun.

Erk FM: International 327 – More Ladies!

by Erk

Erk FM: International 325 – Ladies, Ladies, Ladies

by Erk

Erk FM: International 323 – Zoom Zoom!

by Erk

Welcome to episode 323 of Erk FM: International. On this episode, you might not be able to guess the reason behind the title of the episode. The title is more related to the episode rather than the music in the episode. The photo might be a clue....

Erk FM: International 321 – Welcome Home, Erk!

by Erk

Erk FM: International 313 – Lucky 313?

by Erk

Welcome to episode 313 of Erk FM: International. 13 is a lucky number for some so 313 must be really lucky! Some people might say that Erk is lucky to be in America at the time of the release of the episode. Part of this episode was programmed after Erk shouted out on Facebook asking bands if they wanted airplay. Music supplied on behalf of the artist as well as by Radio Submit.

Erk FM: International 311 – Cybering Across America

by Erk

Erk FM: International 309 – Erk’s Going On A Jet Plane!

by Erk

Welcome to episode 309 of Erk FM: International. On this episode, Erk is about to head on a jet plane bound for America. So one night while Erk was preparing to record other episodes, he decided to search for Erk on Jamendo. He then fell down a rabbit hole for an hour - it might be a short episode this week! He can't tell you much about the artists but the music is somewhat different this week. This will be the final episode of Erk FM: International before Erk flies out - however episodes will continue as normal.

Erk FM: International 307 – Cybering Around The World
