Discontent Provider

Join The Silver Fox (cock-eyed anti-folk chancer) and Arkham (The World’s Greatest Lurcher) in their Happy Place for a jaundiced weekly jaunt through the highs and lows (but mostly the lows) of our world's descent into unspeakable ghastliness. The chaps offer you analysis and impotent rage in roughly equal measure - and a song at the end of each week to keep your toes tapping in an incomparable danse macabre that may or may not make it all seem more bearable.

Monday's minisode finds the chaps at the Happy Place fearfully put out, but not even surprised enough to raise an exquisitely-arched eyebrow to learn that the Department of Education is keeping tabs on its staff to make sure they're not being seditious in cyberspace. There's also a bit of History that Foxy learned in school from a book that would nowadays be burned from a teacher who would - in these God-awful days - almost certainly have died in mysterious circumstances.

No two ways about it; Foxy's a fair old cross-patch today. It might be the weather, or it might be an overdose of existentialism. In any event, the grumpiness of his trousers DOES sufficiently abate by the end of proceedings to revel in the misfortunes of others and do a song. Arkham - but of course - retains his effortless cool throughout.

Episode 42: One Little Word

Wednesday Oct 18, 2023

Wednesday Oct 18, 2023

Foxy and Arkham take to the Great Outdoors for a quick Wednesday shufty at a far bigger controversy than the destruction of a hospital - at least to some cats and kittens it is. They also gaze into the Beyond and ask "Whither TV News?"

Monday Oct 16, 2023

Todays' Monday Minisode finds Foxy and the World's Greatest Lurcher take a gander at attitudes to crime, punishment, and class - in which the image of an innocent animal dying of a ghastly disease is not QUITE the most disturbing thing they encounter...

Friday Oct 13, 2023

It's been - even in the loveliest Happy Place on Earth - a somewhat gruelling week for us all, has it not? With that in mind, Arkham and Foxy have turned their three mournful eyes upon the Infinite - upon the Secrets of Creation, and a song about (justifiably) condescending aliens.

Episode 39: Bat-Shit-Crazy-Floss

Wednesday Oct 11, 2023

Wednesday Oct 11, 2023

For their first EVER midweek episode, Foxy and Arkham planned an epic deconstruction of something - but in the end, they got frightfully bummed out about lies, conspiracy theories, and propaganda. They DID manage to peep behind the black velvet drapes of the shadowy cabal that run the world, though - so that's something...

Monday Oct 09, 2023

As The Silver Fox gets to grips with Brevity, Arkham looks on in approval - it's getting too chilly to spend too much time outside, after all (and he's too afflicted with machismo to wear a little coat). Sadly, nobody ELSE seems to be reining in THEIR less reprehensible qualities this week...

Saturday Oct 07, 2023

From their rural bower, Foxy and Arkham bemoan the lack of usable newsflesh left behind by the carrion-crazed media's feeding frenzy at this week's Conservative Party Conference. For all that though, they did manage to find a Prime Ministerial claim that might well be one of his biggest whoppers ever. There's also some rather exciting news about the future of "Discontent Provider"... 

Friday Sep 29, 2023

This week, Foxy and Arkham throw open the doors of the Happy Place (not literally, you understand; it's outside, and there aren't actually any doors to throw open) to the most despised and scorned members of society - because ultimately, nobody is irredeemable, and a helping hand at the right time might be all that's needed to set a cat or kitten on the right course. They do, however, draw the line at certain Home Secretaries who will remain nameless...

Friday Sep 22, 2023

In what appears to be the longest sesh we've yet inflicted upon an all-too-forgiving Public, The Silver Fox and Arkham examine the hysteria and political factionalism surrounding Russell Brand's fall from - well, not "grace" exactly, but the cat is fo' def' plummeting... They also find time to SKEWER (as the tabloids say) the Prime Minister, and for Foxy to deliver what has to be the oddest performance of his life. A packed show, all in all.
