WHITE WORKING CLASS BOYS - Feat. Simon Evans

Simon Evans is back this week as we ponder why no-one seems especially rattled by the possibility of missiles hitting London and financial armageddon. We also look at yet more research showing white working-class boys are falling behind academically and yet more apathy from those who should care about such things. In the Patron only we discuss the launch of SNL UK and how comedy became a culture war issue.  CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

BREAKING NEWS - Caustic Keir, Ambitious Angela & Dozy Davey           

A lot to unpack from the week: Starmer avoiding questions like I avoid service stations without a Greggs, Rayner on maneouvres, Davey's dodgy dance moves and the comedy radar of Donald J Trump. I also have another rant about men getting their shirts off in TV shows.  CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

INSIDE THE MANOSFEAR - Feat. Marcus Brigstocke

This week Marcus Brigstocke makes a welcome return as we delve into revelations which suggest Keir Starmer is above all else a bit weird. We also wonder if - in the current hyper-active media landscape - a Margaret Thatcher could emerge. We move onto discuss Louis Theroux's new documentary about the manosphere, laughing at the some of the muppets in it but also remembering that it exists for a reason. In the Patron only we talk about plans to have signs warning people of AI content.  CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

Starmer Versus Trump & Blair - Feat. Andrew Doyle 

The brilliant Andrew Doyle returns to talk about coping with bad news and the prospect of everything getting more expensive. We discuss how non-interventionalist Trump intervening in everything is going down with the MAGA base.  We also wonder if the war might save Keir's Job. Then it's a chat about the lack of working-class writers in TV and why female characters all end up being super-heroes.  CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

BREAKING NEWS - 'He's No Winston Churchill'

Plenty discuss even since Monday! We've had Trump and Starmer in a war of words, Kemi Badenoch going in guns possibly too hot the spring statement and the Greens over-taking Labour all in a few short days. Also I hired an electric car and am not impressed, in the same way I wasn't a fan of SNL's sketch on Tourette's.CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.
