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.

    Enjoying the show? Oi, could you do me a favour… 

    Either join Patreon or Share Me With A Friend (/enemy) 

    With Patreon… it’s a site that deducts £3 a month (price of a coffee) from you, to support the show. I’m having a lot of fun making this shit but it does cost money to host and time (neglecting my children) to make. Honestly: I just work really hard to make it LOOK disorganised and punk-rock 🤣. 

    Anyway, IF you join my Patreon CULT, you’ll get:

    📻 Podcast episodes 2 days before everyone else!

    🍻 Invite to London meet-ups (next one in April)

    🎫 First look at tickets for live shows like the one me and Danny fuckin’ Price’s did in Feb! Next one in July.

    💬 Private/VIP Discord chat

    🎤 Credited (/named and shamed) at the end of shows like this!

    With Sharing Me Around… 

    If you’re not able to join Patreon, all I’d ask is that you click the ‘share’ button on your podcast player, copy the link to the show, and WhatsApp it or tweet it or something - to help me grow this a bit. Word of Mouth is everything and if you know someone who’s into Politics / Dystopia / ranting.. maybe they’ll enjoy it too?

    Fuck me, are you still reading this? Then say HELLO! I’m on Twitter | Instagram | Tiktok. I know we’re all busy and you might prefer to be a silent listener, a creepy watcher on Twitter who very rarely puts their thoughts to paper, sort of thing - but honestly it’s the biggest boost ever to hear from people who are enjoying the shows. If only to know I’m not just ranting into the void. Without you guys I really am just an angry man talking to himself in a shed.

    #160 // Lee Anderson Gets It

    So... I went to the barber's and overheard an old boy and his son (in his 30s) talking about how Lee Anderson 'gets it'. I think we need to move on from this idea that we can't call these people idiots.

Meanwhile the two Sus (Nak and Uella) fight accusations of culture war distraction by launching a "Stop The Boats!" campaign [and bill]. What a country. Can i apply for asylum in Albania? How about Poland?

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 👏🏻

Toby54367 ,

Definitely worth a listen!

Aid is a brilliant podcast host delivering quality content with a different guest each week. I’ve really enjoyed the conversations and the humour added to each episode! Long may it continue!
