In 2012, Erk FM is made up of 4 different podcasts. There is a different podcast every day of the week. The week starts at 11 with Erk FM: Metal Monday. Tuesdays (as required) are for interviews, special features & live recordings with Erk FM: Extra.
In January 2009, Erk FM started as a music podcast every Friday with music from around the world. In December 2011, the Friday show split into 2 with Erk FM: International on Wednesdays & Erk FM: Australia on Fridays.
There are no new Erk FM episodes being produced in the format that started with music podcasts only on Fridays with all artists in the one show from across the world.

Welcome to Erk FM: Metal Monday episode 86. Recorded on location at Deadfest 2013, there was an afternoon & evening filled with hard rock, industrial and metal. There are live recordings and interviews with all of the bands from the event in this extended episode. Just like last year's event (check out Erk FM: Metal Monday episode 85 if you haven't already), there was a great vibe from the event held at The Valve Bar, home to many a great live show in Sydney. And in case you didn't know, Deadman is a dirty, dirty boy.
Interview list:
Welcome to episode 346 of Erk FM: Australia. This episode consists of an interview with vocalist Monica from Sydney band Vanity Riots. No stranger to Erk FM, last year's Erkstock was their second last gig with their then lineup. After re-grouping and finding 2 new guitarists, Vanity Riots are back with a new EP called Ambulance. To support the launch of the EP and the new look Vanity Riots, the band are going on an east coast tour of Australia (full details on their website & social media pages).
During the wide-ranging interview, you will hear 3 songs from...
Welcome to Erk FM: International episode 345. On this episode, Erk looks at the most popular tracks on one of his music providers, Jamendo. There's music from the UK, US, France and somewhat surprisingly, South Africa.

Welcome to episode 85 of Erk FM Metal Monday. This is a replay of what was originally episode 24 of Erk FM: Metal Monday recorded on location at The Valve Bar in Sydney which hosted Deadfest 2012, an afternoon & evening of music put together by Deadman from Deadman Industries. This episode features interviews & live ambient recordings of music from the event with entertainment of some sort over a 12 hour period. Most bands were interviewed and/or had music featured on this episode.
Bands who played at Deadfest were NASJAP (Not Another Sequel, Just Another...
Welcome to Erk FM: Australia episode 344. This episode features Australians based in Australia, Australians based overseas & overseas residents now calling Australia home - all of which is fine with me! A mellower episode this week with some jazz, pop, country and/or western & a lot more.
Music supplied by AirPlay Direct.
Song list (all times are approximate):
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!

Welcome to episode 84 of Erk FM: Metal Monday. This week's episode is a preview of Deadfest 2013. Promoted & organised by Deadman from Deadman Industries, Deadfest 2012 was one of the best gigs that Erk attended in 2012. 2013 should be no exception as this preview episode reveals. There is a mixture of hard rock & various forms of metal. Like last year, Erk will be a media partner of the event. There will be interviews & live tracks from the event in a couple of weeks which also happened in 2012.
All music supplied by the artists &...
Welcome to episode 342 of Erk FM: Australia. This episode provides a good mix of music that Erk has been seeing live recently & what Erk has coming up in future weeks. There's also an update from The Voice in relation to Suns Of Cascadia vocalist Oscar. Interestingly, a vocalist's appearance on The Voice led me (once again) to The Newsagency in inner-western Sydney for a nice night of intimate live music. This also led to half the playlist for this week's episode.
Last weekend, Erk was pleased to be able to see Hard As Nails live for...
