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.

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

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...

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.

Friday Sep 15, 2023

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...

Friday Sep 08, 2023

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...

Friday Sep 01, 2023

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.
