Episode 99: Paging The Grim Reaper (A Parable - of sorts)

The chaps wind up the week with both a bold (if impractical) Mission Statement and some Statements about a recent Mission. Comparisons 'twixt Small States and Rogue States which are not wholly favourable to the former.

Episode 98: There's Always Somebody Worse Off - And Sometimes Deservedly So

The chaps find themselves in unwontedly chipper mood today because... Well; while they're not doing particularly well, they're doing a damned sight better than people upon whom they're not frightfully keen - and if that isn't cause for celebration, what is in these debased times? There's also a nod to both the Survival Horror genre and a band from yesteryear. It's pretty packed for a Monday is what it is.

Episode 97: Star Trekkin' and Health Checkin'

An indecently proud Foxy and Arkham compare producing two podcasts in the same week favourably to performing a spacewalk - justifiably, considering their budgetary limitations. After that, they consider the prospects of a reformed NHS and a Health Utopia as envisioned by centrists. It's probably not as bad as it seems - but only by a bit.

Episode 96: Chillin' With Starmer

Exciting times for the chaps this week: a (partial) visual renaissance arrives just in time to see the shafting of Senior Citizens and irrefutable proof that the wheels have finally come off Humanity's little red wagon. And, were that not enough (though it obviously is) a tweak to the format is announced - one that will leave Mondays changed forever...

Episode 95: Back In The Sadness Again

After a week on holiday, the chaps are disappointed - though by no means surprised - to return to the Happy Place only to find that little has changed. Big Money is still acting as though there has been no change in Government - and perhaps there hasn't been after all. Still; if enough of us eat enough tinned pineapple, who knows what could happen? It makes sense in context - though perhaps not much.

Episode 94: It's The Little Things That Matter (Pun intended - albeit with the utmost reluctance)

This week finds the chaps burning any conceivable bridges and damning themselves irrevocably to never ever being invited to guest on another podcast by lashing out at practically every columnist, podcaster, and opinioneer and calling most of them idiots. Frankly, it's surprising it's taken this long... On a more positive note, The Silver Fox has some words of wisdom and encouragement for the Younger Generation.

Episode 93: A Moment of Riot Introspection

As the country - and the chaps in the Happy Place - enjoy a respite from the worst of the chaos and cuntery of the past week, we take a look at what drove hotel-burners and sausage-roll heisters alike to give so many of our towns and cities some new scars - and just as we hope those scars will heal, we also hope that greater understanding can lead to better handling of the baser impulses at play.  Mind you; that rarely works - but one's got to give it a go, eh?

Episode 92: Hair-Trigger "Heroes"

Before you download this week's offering from the Happy Place, perhaps you should think for a moment: do you really want to listen to the chaps' reflection on a week of slaughter and unrest? That's not to say that it's any better (or worse) than their usual offering - but just a reminder that it's probably best to think about ANYTHING before doing it. Sadly, that sort of thing isn't everyone's bag...

Episode 91: Summer of Love 2.0 - unless we missed a couple.

Hey there, you groovy cats and kittens; drop by Foxy and Arkham's Happy Place this week and dig the sweet sunshine and the good vibes, why don't you? It's all so cool and beautiful, baby - ever since Parliament tuned in, turned on, and dropped out into a Political Age of Aquarius, we're all a lot more mellow, man... Unless you disagree with somebody even slightly; then, we'll eat your eyes right out of your fucking head and shit them into your dead mouth. That seems to be what's happenin' in the Commons - so keep on truckin', OK?

Episode 90: A Right Earful

As the Chattering Classes and the Political Elite shout themselves hoarse in an attempt to make some sense of Saturday's events in Butler, Pennsylvania - or at least some form of sense in which they're absolved of any and all blame - Foxy and Arkham retreat to the Happy Place to escape the cacophony of cant and reflect that with everybody mouthing off, it's small wonder that they can scarcely hear their own lack of self-awareness.
