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.

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.

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.

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.

Friday Aug 04, 2023

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...

Friday Jul 28, 2023

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...

Friday Jul 21, 2023

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.

Friday Jul 14, 2023

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...

Friday Jul 07, 2023

Whether it's about a debunked debanked political irritant or the Founding of a Nation, everybody loves a jolly goodf yarn. This week, Arkham and Foxy consider the appeal of Narrative and the unappetising dish of cold sick that Reality all-too-often dares to serve up in its stead...

Friday Jun 30, 2023

After an enforced hiatus - nasty business, don't ask - Foxy and Arkham return to their Happy Place to consider not only the Summer Game, but summer (say it out loud: it's delicious wordplay) the worthless vermin that genuinely seem to hate British values while loudly accuse everybody else of doing so...

Friday Jun 16, 2023

Unimaginable fury and heart-rending sorrow walk uneasily hand-in-hand through the Happy Place in this week's episode as Foxy and Arkham chew over the wholly unappetising fallout of a former Prime Minister's "resignation".
