Discontent Provider

Episode 34: Memories of Melancholia

It's been a rum sort of week, all in all: action movie excitement, secret agents unearthed in the highest of high circles, and the Nation's premier provider of pick'n'mix and self-tapping screws going kerblooey. Could there be a connection? Almost certainly not; but for all that, the lads in the Happy Place don't like the look of ANY of it...

Episode 33: The Pianist Who Shot Back

With their hopes for Autumnal splendour dashed, Foxy and Arkham must, it appears, look elsewhere to see slow, withering death - and fortunately, the ever-obliging British Government have stepped forward to fill the role. Sad stories from the streets and long-held secrets are revealed in this week's thrilling episode...

Episode32: It Came From Nightmare Swamp

Autumn finds the Discontent Provider lads in excellent form. They're even Happier than usual to be in their Happy Place - and not just because they're stuck in the ungodly horror of International Travel and haven't been (possibly) eighty-sixed by the Kremlin.  Sadly, as Summer dies, so do musical instruments - so this week's Song At The End features the literal death-rattle of a harmonica.

Episode 31: Witness For The Persecution

Back in business after a week's leisure, the chap's return to the Happy Place is marked by the return of a controversy that is every damned bit as unpleasant and bad for the soft furnishings as Grandpapa's occasional bouts of recurrent malaria. Nevertheless, Foxy and Arkham still do the do as expected. WARNING: may contain accents.

Clinging to the Edge of Time’s Pendulum (1)

The lads are out and about this week, so the usual doings are suspended. Fear not, however: Arkham, Foxy, and the Happy Place scorn the petty constraints of Causality, so are able to bring you a dispatch from a point beyond the Fourth Dimension. Free from the Tyranny of Topicality, they bring you not only an infallible prescription for a Better World, but also a song wrought from the purest wist.

Episode 30: Torrid Tea-Time Avowals

This week, the chaps in the Happy Place come dangerously close to invalidating the whole ethos of their podcast by tentatively suggesting that some mildly cautious optimism might not be entirely misplaced. Weird, wild stuff, to be sure - but these are uncertain times, cats and kittens.

Episode 29: The Jovian Conundrum

In a development that left them flabbergasted, this week's podcast finds Foxy and Arkham stumbling - quite by accident - onto the most horrifying and inescapable truth imaginable.  Not bad for a bit of audio tomfoolery that was intended to be no more than the usual petty, mean-spirited bilge, eh what? Also, The Silver Fox gets a three-letter abbreviation wrong on multiple occasions - so a pedant's delight, all in all...

Episode 28: The Wolf-Man Howled Thrice

This week finds the plucky podcasting duo under siege from a Story That Will Not Die - yet still finding both the time and the sheer bloody-minded guts to compare and contrast recent controversies. You know; the word "heroes" gets bandied about a little too freely these days - but even so...

Episode 27: Quest For The Obsidian Diadem

Good and bad news, facts and figures, and a frightfully strenuous work-out with the dear old abacus are at the forefront of this week's proceedings as Foxy and Arkham attempt to work out whether or not a piece of good news is all it's cracked up to be. CONTENT WARNING: this episode contains gloating that is not altogether seemly.

Episode 26: Death Drive To Scum City

The media frenzy leaves the Happy Place denizens deeply unimpressed this week as Arkham and Foxy chew over the tactics of deflection, distraction, and double-dealing. Had time permitted, The Silver Fox might have dazzled once more with his flawless dialect work - but it didn't.  So, you know - there's that to be said for this week's episode if nothing else...
