Partly Political BroadcastStaring Into An Imaginary Black HoleKeep the politics out of football they say, something that is easy to do when the World Cup is in a country where they'll execute you for protesting. Still nothing more British than doing nothing about it, which is also how the Autumn Statement is tackling the economic crisis. Rishi Sunak's football wall chart, Swiss deals and who Keir Starmer's been kissing. Plus a return to the podcast from Maurice Mcleod (@mowords) to talk about Labour's undemocratic candidate elections.

Partly Political BroadcastDamp Squibs All Round - Foreign Aid Cuts, Liechtenstein boost time, Jeff Bezos will know about your eczema and Jack Brown on his book The London ProblemYet again the government is being helpful by insisting on not helping lots of people. Though to be fair, based on how rubbish they are at most things, maybe that is actually better than them dealing out foreign aid and getting involved. School budgets, trade deals with Liechtenstein and Michael Gove is Pestilence the Horseman of the Apocalypse and I claim my £5.

Plus Moya Lothian-McLean on the year that has also gone on far too longBrexit talks are still happening. Still. It doesn't matter when you listen to this show, they'll still be going on forever. Much like the coronavirus. Much like 2020 which now must be the longest year in history. And there are gunboats to save fish. Luckily the brilliant Moya Lothian-McLean (@mlothianmclean), Politics Editor at gal-dem (@galdemzine) chats to Tiernan about where we go next on this last ParPolBro for the year.

Partly Political BroadcastMaking The Same Mistake Twice - Even More Tiers, Priti Much A Bully, Green Industrial Revolution and activist Urszula Kuczyńska on Polish politicsDon't worry! The government has saved Christmas, you know in a Munchausen by proxy type way. But you'll be able to share your COVID with all your relatives on December 25th because it is the season for giving after all. Aside from those few days though, we're back to tiers, meanwhile Priti Patel has been causing tears, and Boris Johnson has new green industrial revolution plan that won't work for years. Plus Tiernan talks to Polish activist Urszula Kuczyńska (@urszulakuczynsk) about the Women's Strikes and politics in Poland.Notes From Poland: https://notesfrompoland.com/2020-11-241h 09
Partly Political BroadcastIllegal Mingling - The Rule of 6, Law Breaking Conservatives and immunologist Professor Sheena Cruickshank on COVID-19 vaccine possibilitiesYes its now British to break the law apparently, but also don't see more than 6 friends you'll get a criminal record. Which I think makes you a proper patriot. Or something. It's all very confusing but what we do know is that now its all the EU and Remainers fault that the Prime Minister doesn't like the Withdrawal Agreement he came up and said was fantastic, and coronavirus infections are rising because irresponsible young people followed all the government's advice. This week Tiernan chats to immunologist Professor Sheena Cruickshank (@sheencr) about the real possibilities of a COVID-19 vaccine.2020-09-151h 07
Partly Political BroadcastEpisode 200 - Yes somehow the show has made it this far! Brexit shenanigans again, Extinction Rebellion, COVID rises and investigative journalist Emma Youle on the curious government COVID contractsIt's episode 200! Yes somehow this podcast has survived three prime ministers, Brexit, Trump and that time Michael Gove did a rap and we all felt sick. To celebrate the double centenary of the show this episode includes some guest shout outs, plus the usual gags on the new Withdrawal Agreement shenanigans, everyone being upset they couldn't buy a terrible newspaper and COVID case rises. Plus investigative journalist Emma Youle (@EmmaYoule) from HuffpostUK (@HuffPostUK) about the PPE contracts the government gave to companies that have never ever handled PPE before.READ EMMA'S ARTICLE HERE: https://www.huffingtonpost...2020-09-081h 01

Go out and eat fast food to save the economy, but oh no don't do that, why would you do what we said? Quick lose weight or the NHS will fall over. Its another week of contradictions and assurances that things aren't there because no one's checked. Somehow we've had a whole year of Boris Johnson and he's managed to exceed all expectations by being even more shit than we could have expected. This week's show is on the Spain quarantine, the Russia Report, the Boris Diet and a lovely chat with...2020-07-2856 min

Partly Political BroadcastOver by Christmas - Russian Interference, Vaccines, Brexit Fallout and Dr Oliver Double on the existential threat facing the comedy circuitDon't worry it'll be all over by Christmas, promised the Prime Minister. But he didn't say of which year. Still I'm sure the wars with Russia and China will pass the time. Going back to work, face masks, the constant shitness of Chris Grayling and a little Brexit Fallout because this week's show was released before the Russia Report and I have no idea what will be in it. Plus a selfish interview with Dr Oliver Double (@oliverdouble) where Tiernan asks him all about the existential threat facing the UK comedy circuit. Which is totally political. Uh huh. Definitely.2020-07-211h 17

A recording of Tiernan's attempt to do a live podcast on Friday, using the fun Ramble FM app. None of you listeners called in, and instead he spent ages talking to an interesting random caller going by the name of 'icwiener', but it ended up being a lot more fun than that name might suggest.

I don't know just how to thank them for being ambitious and bailing out the arts after some theatres have already had to close and announcing a new plan that is exactly like the old plan but worse. This week Tiernan looks at the new old deal, Sunak's upcoming economic update and there's a chat with barrister Geoff Whelan (@keep_it_brief) about the backlog of cases due to COVID19 and the changes the government are trying to push through.PLEASE...2020-07-071h 05
Partly Political BroadcastTaking Liberties - Pubs reopening, Resetting Whitehall, being as fit as a butcher's dog and Nicola Branch on Isreal's plans to annex the West BankDon't worry everyone, our Prime Minister can do press-ups. I know you were worried about the state of the country with the coronavirus and collapsed economy, but it's ok because Boris Johnson can heave his inflated carcass off the carpet at least long enough to take a photo, so that means he's healthy. You know, unlike those people that died of COVID19 because they weren't patriotic enough or something. This week is about being as fit as a butcher's dog, resetting Whitehall, and getting angry that people are going to the beaches because you said they should. Plus a...2020-06-301h 18

Got a store loyalty card? Ah great, now you won't get COVID twice. I'm sure that's what the scientists say but who knows as we haven't seen any of them for days. Far right protests, Robert Jenrick doing dodgies and Boris Johnson continues to seem hating being PM. But its ok because now you can queue for 10 hours to buy new pants.
