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?

Episode 64: To Inanity And Beyond

Not quite the thrilling and interactive live-streamed audio phenomenon for which many were hoping - but for all that, the chaps have some thoughts on the King's Speech to share with anyone inclined to emerge from their festive excesses long enough to listen to them. Would Buzz Lightyear be a better King than the one with which we're lumbered? Almost certainly. Come to think of it; even the little aliens from the Claw Machine could probably do more to uplift and inspire a Nation.

Episode 63: Christmas (not all that) Special

On their last visit to the Happy Place before the Big Day, Foxy and Arkham consider the decline in festive merriment and conclude that it's about as surprising as that present you found in a cupboard, opened, then carefully re-wrapped and received with feigned astonishment when you were a tiny tot. The Silver Fox also plunders his Santa's Sack of Song to unearth a Yuletide number from the past. He hopes you dig it - because he's going to use it every year from now on. It'll be as established a Christmas tradition as family arguments and chronic disappointment...

Episode 62: Interview With Two Vampires

With one of the chaps trying to pretend they're not bitterly regretting their seasonal sartorial choices, podcasting's premier platonic power-pairing parse the public's politically-polarised post-mortem of THAT interview - and consider the possibility of doing something unprecedented in Discontent Provider's less-than-illustrious history. To have your say, email discontentprovider@gmx.co.uk OR post to @FoxyAndArkham on whatever that fucking imbecile is calling his fast-ebbing Last Stand for the freedom of crypto-Nazi weirdos.

Episode 61: The Good Old Days of Dishonesty

Foxy and Arkham have been handed the murkier end of the stick by both the digital world and the elements this week - but for all that, they still salute their adversaries' open and frank hostility; it is, after all, so much easier to deal with than (to pick an example wholly at random) a political class who see it as pretty much comme il faut to lie to the faces of the parents of murdered children - if not positively de rigeuer.That's right: A-Level French, bitches!
