My name is Aid. I used to do Standup. Then I had two kids. The End.

Between parenthood and the pandemic, I'm finding pretty much the only way to have a social interaction with people is to literally *book in a conversation with them* (and market it as a podcast).

Every guest is going to be real upset when they realise I'm not even recording them, i'm just incredibly lonely.

    #297 // I Will Take Your Wagon

    A Texas Bear has figured out how SH*T everything is. ALSO: The UK Tabloids have a new penchant for talking about terrible Tory policies were - though only through the prism of Labour's inability to recover from them. Meanwhile a Majorca bar gets the Brits Abroad treatment. Sort of. As a crew of Spanish Gypsies ALLEGEDLY terrorise holiday makers.

    #295 // Girl Boss Summercamp

    An Instagram influencer goes to jail for people trafficking while the UK Media jump on David Lammy for his tweets more than they scrutinse Donald Trump's actual crimes. Just another day in TOTALLY NORMAL Britain.

    Labour Cabinet ASSEMBLE! And straight to work as we marvel at the veritable superpower that is just going to work and doing the job you're supposed to do. ALSO: we take a look at the wonder that is modern human beings, who prize being right over doing right.

    #292 // Aid is v hungover

    The Tories are out, Labour are in. It's largely thanks to Tactical Voting and a national vibe of "just get the f****ng Tories out ffs". Let's talk about what happened, the party, my hangover and more... It's a [very hangy] FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE SHOW!

A future leading Radio Presenter

This guy will be successful both as a radio host or comedy show star (when lefty comedians are allowed back)

Daviemoo ,

Brilliant podcast all around

Aid hits the right mix of funny, informed and sweary. That autocorrected to sweaty which is also true but not as relevant. Aid has some fantastic guests and is also a brilliant host, plus his solo rants always hit the right note.

SarahSetters ,

Utterly Brilliant!

Discovered Aid and the podcast recently as I am a huge fan of Daviemoo, I Came to listen to his episode and have stayed because it’s all just so good. 10/10 keep up the good work 👏🏻
