Episode 107: It All Gets Easier When You Get A Bit Sleazier 17:19

1d ago17:19

17:19

Is the Autumnal mist a little thicker in the Happy Place than usual today? Do the denuded branches of the trees seem to weep with that touch more melancholy? Hard to say - but certainly the chaps are feeling a touch under the weather. Inspiration may be at hand from an unlikely source though. Perhaps concerning themselves with a potentially massive…

Episode 106: Saying The Loud Part Out Loud 8:34

5d ago8:34

8:34

For reasons they feel disinclined to divulge, the chaps are a day late to the Happy Place this week - but are, nevertheless, almost painfully eager to point out other people's shortcomings. Today, they're looking at how politeness costs nothing - except possibly job security, human dignity, and other insignificant trifles of that nature...…

Episode 105: Pedants' Revolt 16:15

9d ago16:15

16:15

Being a pair of careful, rather close-mouthed coves, the chaps are not perhaps as sympathetic to Prime Ministers who don't sufficiently distinguish one form of ordnance from another - especially when a hostile Nation is just aching for a self-righteous war-wank. This episode also features a moment of self-doubt, a touch of shaudenfraude, a Song At …

Episode 104: What Is There Left To Say? 5:34

13d ago5:34

5:34

Neither the crackling of fallen leaves nor the invigorating sting of autumnal air in the Happy Place can cheer the chaps today as they ponder the dishonesty, insincerity, indifference, and cruelty of both those who promulgate and those who profit from the ever-growing horror of the Middle East conflict. Still; it's only a short one - and they both …

Episode 103: The White Man's Tantrum (And a Fond Farewell) 15:01

16d ago15:01

15:01

While the Britain beyond the leafy tranquility of their Happy Place rings to the anguished howls of post-colonial cretinism, Foxy and Arkham ponder the idiocy of people who LITERALLY didn't know what they'd got 'til it was gone - and then kicked up the most fearful row about it. Also - and on the subject of great songs, the chaps pay musical (near …

1
Episode 102: Snider With Rosie 8:59

20d ago8:59

8:59

Perhaps it's because Christmas is looming ever-closer and it doesn't hurt the more parsimonious to slim down their address books (even if they can claim the cost of cards and stamps back on expenses) but a lot of harsh words are being chucked around of late - or maybe some sort of Seasonally Affected Disorder is just making people say the quiet par…

Episode 101: It's All An Allusion 14:21

23d ago14:21

14:21

Foxy and Arkham find themselves in the distinctly unfamiliar position of defending a British Prime Minister against the slurs of the uneducated lumpen herd. What many people have mistaken for a slip of the tongue was actually a damnably witty literary reference - or was it? Maybe he's just an idiot who hates the sick and disabled - though how likel…

Episode 100(!): Very First Century Boys 10:33

27d ago10:33

10:33

Foxy and Arkham are feeling dreadfully bucked to have arrived at their 100th Episode (give or take a couple of two-parters and "get-aheads" that don't count as canon). Needless to say, events beyond the leafy confines of the Happy Place may receive less than the chaps' usual forensic attention... It's Political Conference Time though - so comment i…

1
Episode 99: Paging The Grim Reaper (A Parable - of sorts) 13:00

30d ago13:00

13:00

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.Door discontentprovider

1
Episode 98: There's Always Somebody Worse Off - And Sometimes Deservedly So 9:16

1M ago9:16

9:16

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 …

1
Episode 97: Star Trekkin' and Health Checkin' 14:16

1M ago14:16

14:16

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.…

1
Episode 96: Chillin' With Starmer 10:09

1M ago10:09

10:09

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 foreve…

Episode 95: Back In The Sadness Again 19:18

2M ago19:18

19:18

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?…

1
Episode 94: It's The Little Things That Matter (Pun intended - albeit with the utmost reluctance) 19:52

2M ago19:52

19:52

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 so…

Episode 93: A Moment of Riot Introspection 18:49

2M ago18:49

18:49

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 …

Episode 92: Hair-Trigger "Heroes" 15:43

3M ago15:43

15:43

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 …

Episode 91: Summer of Love 2.0 - unless we missed a couple. 16:28

3M ago16:28

16:28

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 somebod…

Episode 90: A Right Earful 17:13

3M ago17:13

17:13

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 …

1
Episode 89: Turns Out It Really IS All About Football - Sort Of. 16:16

3M ago16:16

16:16

As the chaps twiddle their respective thumbs and paw-pads in the sun-drenched seclusion of their Happy Place - rather at a loss as how they might best tackle the recent seismic-but-probably-not-very-seismic changes in the UK, a remarkable thought occurs - and one from an even more remarkable source. Over to you, Brian...…

Episode 88: The Party's Over 17:13

4M ago17:13

17:13

The Happy Place is (a bit) Happier than usual this week as Arkham and Foxy see in the formation of a new Government. Needless to say, it's not all larks and untrammeled merriment - and there's still plenty to grouch about. For all that however, it may still be that chaps' most Upbeat Episode Ever - and you'll certainly never see a ventriloquist in …

Episode 87: Squinting Through the Introspectoscope 20:21

4M ago20:21

20:21

After a brief absence - (relatively brief, anyway - in geologic terms) the chaps are back in the Happy Place. As the Nation gears up for the Election, Foxy and Arkham consider crises of conscience, unintended consequences, and the evanescence of a cornstarch coating. Also, exciting noises are made about LIVE election coverage. Doubtless Jeremy Vine…

Episode 86: I Don't Know Much, But I Know What I've "Liked" 17:19

4M ago17:19

17:19

A certain pre-election ennui has caused Foxy and Arkham to retreat to the pastoral splendour of their Happy Place with more alacrity than usual this week. Fortunately, the splendid isolation did both of the chaps the world of good, and provided time and space enough to ponder as to why the Twitters, they are a-changing - as well as realising that t…

1
Episode 85: Warmed-over Warmongers 17:39

4M ago17:39

17:39

Even in the Happiest of Happy Places, the odd speck of ague and/or ennui can somehow insinuate themselves from time to time - hence the shocking lateness of this episode. This week sees Foxy and Arkham appalled - but not all THAT appalled - by the Prime Minister's French Leave, but decide that there are worse things about war-related ceremonies.…

1
Episode 84: Come Rayner Come Whine (Including an unprecedented apology) 15:41

5M ago15:41

15:41

Something of a chivalrous interlude in the lives of Foxy and Arkham this week as the chaps ransack the cupboards for tin trays, pots and pans, and a suitably massive colander in order to ride (well, ramble) to the defence of a lady whose temerity in not knowing her place has incurred the wrath of a bunch of cunts. They're about the most inept and b…

1
Episode 83: Much Ado About Snuffing 18:44

5M ago18:44

18:44

This week, as the never-knowingly United Kingdom goes into premature meltdown over the General Election being called, the chaps in the Happy Place have their minds focussed upon matters that are - to all too many - FAR more pressing than which Centre-Right fuckstump will be giving Larry The Cat his dinner for the foreseeable future. They're talking…

1
Episode 82: One Step At A Time. Well; Six Tiny Steps, Anyway - But To WHERE? 17:02

5M ago17:02

17:02

Though neither Foxy nor Arkham are what you'd call "shoppers" as such, the idea of browsing some carefully-curated political "retail items" held a dreadful fascination for them this week - so they marched up to Labour's counter, called "Shop!" and let Young Mr Starmer show them his wares...Door discontentprovider

1
Episode 81: Scenes From The Gender Struggle In The Woods 17:51

5M ago17:51

17:51

This week finds the grizzled Culture War veterans Sgts Foxy and "Mad Dog" Arkham parachuting into yet another dismal and more than usually grisly (It's a pun - well spotted) campaign. Just when they thought they could sit the damned thing out in relative peace, too. War is hell, cats and kittens - but unlike this rubbish, Hell only lasts for Eterni…

Episode 80b: Don't Let the Door Hit You where the Black and White Dog Should have Bit You 11:22

6M ago11:22

11:22

As the chaps wind up their dispassionate and forensic analysis of the 2024 Local Elections, a certain melancholy seems to have set in. Does it matter? What will the outcome be in the long-term? We've all enjoyed a malicious chortle - of that there is no doubt - and all the signs point to more to come; yet Foxy finds himself wondering if that's enou…

Episode 80a: Algorithm & News 10:53

6M ago10:53

10:53

Fresh from voting, and as suffused with about as much excitement at having exercised that hard-won freedom as you might expect, Foxy and Arkham present the first instalment of a two-part Election Special. Is it too late to prevent computers from destroying Democracy? Could Captain Snort hold his own during widespread Civil Unrest? Will The Silver F…

1
Episode 79: One Little Word 13:03

6M ago13:03

13:03

Poacher turns gamekeeper this week - it's a figure of speech, we assure you - as Foxy casts off years of antipathy towards those that presumed to know better than him (they didn't) to stand up for teachers. Arkham - who has wisely avoided pedagogues of all kinds - preserves a dignified silence on the matter. Lucky bastard.…

1
Episode 78: Smoke Gets Up Your Arse 15:49

6M ago15:49

15:49

This week, the chaps consider the prospect of a Smokeless Future, Foxy tries a psychological experiment that may not be best suited to an audio medium, and both man and dog are left even more doleful than is customary by the thought that Parliament is little more than a posh kindergarten. CW: Listeners of a sensitive nature should be warned that th…

Episode 77: The Penumbra Of The Beast - and Other Delusions 18:48

6M ago18:48

18:48

This week, Arkham and Foxy battle a 200-foot-tall cyborg with all lasers coming out of its eyes and that - it also has chainsaws for hands, and can create a sonic boom just by clearing its throat. That's not entirely true - but as this is the Internet, it appears that one can say pretty much anything one damned well likes because nobody ever checks…

1
Episode 76: Rowling Trolling 18:14

7M ago18:14

18:14

In what - quite unexpectedly and organically - turned out to be the finale of a trilogy of sorts, Foxy and Arkham decide that there are an awful lot of things that are genuinely best left alone - and would earnestly encourage you to do the same. It's sort of like that Simpsons Halloween episode when all the corporate mascots come to life - if you t…

Episode 75: Oh; Those Torrid Tory Knights... 14:20

7M ago14:20

14:20

The usual theological Easter musings threaten for a while to distract the chaps from pursuing their avowed intent to tackle the Issues of the Day for a brief moment or two - but they're soon back on track, and ready to point out that what looks like another Government/donor fuckfest doesn't really matter (and may even contain a silver lining - a TH…

1
Episode 74: A Win For The WASPIs - but for others... 20:48

7M ago20:48

20:48

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…

Episode 73: Battle Him For A Republic (Alt. Title: They Rape All The Apples) 17:19

7M ago17:19

17:19

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…

Episode 72: It's The Way They Tell 'Em. 16:35

8M ago16:35

16:35

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 lates…

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 ma…

Episode 70: Let's Just Call It A "Sunday Supplement" And Move On, Shall We? 16:49

8M ago16:49

16:49

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'…

14:38

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 t…

Episode 68: Good Grief 16:03

9M ago16:03

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 …

Episode 67: Whistling In The Graveyard 13:43

9M ago13:43

13:43

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 abo…

Episode 66: Mr Fox Vs Dickholes That Don’t Listen To Podcasts 14:41

9M ago14:41

14:41

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.…

15:36

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 trickl…

Episode 64: To Inanity And Beyond 10:17

10M ago10:17

10:17

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? Almos…

Episode 63: Christmas (not all that) Special 14:30

10M ago14:30

14:30

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 S…

Episode 62: Interview With Two Vampires 10:12

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 y…

Episode 61: The Good Old Days of Dishonesty 15:45

10M ago15:45

15:45

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 li…

Episode 60: Losing Rights and Perusing A Knight 14:45

As Democracy crumbles away like a frail frost-rimed cobweb on a Winter morn, the chaps in the Happy Place consider the potential of a possible (probable?) Prime Minister. In all honesty, it's not a cheery listen - but what is in these sadly debased times? To bring the week to an end, The Silver Fox attempts to get medieval on your ass with an olde-…

Episode 59: Sheiks, Lies, and Videotape (Alright; the cat is a Sultan - but we stand by our pun, damn you) 10:14

11M ago10:14

10:14

A new week begins, as does a New Era of Honesty in the Happy Place. It's not as though Foxy and Arkham were the most fearful fibbers or anything - but dishonest dealings at the COP-28 bunfight have rather borne upon them the importance of scrupulous truthfulness.Door discontentprovider
