Episode 74: A Win For The WASPIs - but for others...

This week, the chaps have the rare opportunity to reflect on some good news for a change, as it turns out that at least some ladies who got fucked by politicians during the 90s just might get better compensation than a few demeaning photo-shoots in the Lads' Mags. Meanwhile, however, things look pretty bleak for another group - will the public take up their cause with the same enthusiasm? AUDIO NOTE: God only knows how, but something happened this week that makes it sound like the Happy Place was visited by a gigantic purring cat. It wasn't though: Foxy might have missed it - blind idiot that he is - but Arkham would certainly have sat up and taken notice.

Episode 73: Battle Him For A Republic (Alt. Title: They Rape All The Apples)

The chaps are definitely "on one" this week: is it the weather? Is it the tragicomedy of faux democracy? Did they get wound up by something on the television? It's all of those things, Podcast Pals - but it's so much MORE. It's the grotesque forelock-tugging of Royalists; it's the paucity of choice for anyone hoping for change; it's the transparent shitfuckery of a morally-bankrupt Government... Still; connoisseurs of audio entertainment will enjoy the long-awaited return of Foxy's flawless voice-work and mastery of dialect - so at least there's that, eh?

Episode 72: It's The Way They Tell 'Em.

Having spent a few days lost in the far and frozen North, Foxy is even happier than usual to be back in the Happy Place - and even more ecstatic to be reunited with The World's Greatest Lurcher. None of that, however, softens the baleful gaze the chaps cast upon the dastardly disingenuous messages sent out by the UK Government regarding their latest Budget Statement - or anything else, come to that.

Episode 71: Speak Now, Or Forever Hold Up Peace

Join two wide-eyed innocents lost in an impenetrable forest of deceptions, half-truths, and particularly toxic toadstools composed of utter rat-shit bollocks as Foxy and Arkham ponder the murky motives, mixed messages, and marvels of mendacity that resulted in a Parliamentary freakout this week. Apparently, nothing anybody says means anything or matters in the slightest bit - rather liberating, eh what?

Episode 70: Let's Just Call It A "Sunday Supplement" And Move On, Shall We?

Some sort of techno-freak-out having wiped an episode from the face of the Earth, Foxy and Arkham were compelled to start the damned thing all over again - following a fearsome rage-frenzy, a consolatory bender, and a Titanic hangover, naturellement. As the subject of this week was the short-sighted idiocy and greed of people, however, it seems it's still relevant - the weekend having done nothing to render the citizenry any less cretinous and gullible.

Episode 69: At least WE know how to apologise

Fresh and raring to go following a painful and enforced hiatus from our regular communion with their Podcast Pals, The Silver Fox and the Black and White Dog are back to cast some much-deserved aspersions upon a Prime Minister who seems determined to "throw" as much "shade" upon anyone other than his voter base as is possible. They also find time to make light of a life-threatening condition or two - but that's abso-bally-lutely cool, is it not? It's just a fucking joke, ain't it? 

Episode 68: Good Grief

A slew of technical troubles have delayed this episode - which is particularly unfortunate, as it makes the deliberately "spontaneous" opening even more stilted and unconvincing than it was intended to be... Nevertheless, even one day late, the chaps' distaste for media hacks attempting to co-opt the death of innocents and the bereavement of their loved ones still rings true.

Episode 67: Whistling In The Graveyard

This week sees the chaps frantically scrabbling around to find and reattach their dropped jaws (fortunately, each mandible was restored to its original face - though Arkham's jawline would have done wonders for Foxy's ageing profile) at the arrogance of a Prime Minister calling yet another Big, Super Important Press Conference to brag to the UK about getting a little bit closer to doing something so ridiculous that even he (according to some sources) is aware of its unmitigated and reprehensible fatuity.

Episode 66: Mr Fox Vs Dickholes That Don’t Listen To Podcasts

This week, Foxy and Arkham consider the lessons we've already learned from the Post Office scandal: it turns out that despite a rare shaft of optimism, said lessons turn out to be as hard and unpleasant as every games class ever conducted by a shit-thick PE teacher wrestling with either divorce trauma or an unresolved crisis of sexual identity.

Episode 65: Kier Pressure

Back from the Brink of Eternity following more than a week of feverish, delirious ravings, Foxy and Arkham are back at the Happy Place in 2024 - and ready to start with the usual feverish delirious ravings. Today, they're taking a quick butcher's at the Leader Of the Opposition's attempt to set out his Electoral stall. Did he REALLY say that trickledown economics don't work - or was that just a flashback?
