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.

    It's a FRIDAY NIGHT SHOW! And tonight we're discussing the ability to change like Elphicke and Russell Brand - but also looking at RFK Jnr's brain AND a bizarre story about an American P.E. (or "gym") teacher framing the school principal with Deep Fake audio.

    #275 // Quaaludes With Mila Kunis

    Tory ideology has allowed China into the UK's Armed Forces payroll systems. What does that say about the "efficiency" of outsourcing and privatisation? Meanwhile "COW CUDDLING" is a craze apparently and it is about to be disrupted by Bird Flu.

    #274 // Metronomes Set To My Punctual Sighs

    It's the Friday night live show and HOLY COW what a week. Swords, Tories, Rwanda and a failed Prime Minister being turned away for not having his own initiative-demanded voter ID. Join me as i - once again - attempt to make sense of the unutterably bat-sh*t, the legitimately insane, the undeniably, unrealistically certifiable mess that passes for "plague island".

    #273 // Talk TV Is But A Whisper

    A London Sword attack sends tabloid Britain into a weird, hyperbolic frenzy. Meanwhile a Mexican Wedding goes very bad. And Ruper Murdoch's Talk-TV goes from terrestrial TV to 150 viewers on YouTube.

    #272 // A Dissonant Orchestra Of Sighs

    It's the Friday night live show and BOY-OH-BOY do we have a belter for you this evening. A guest joins us from a Tufton Street (Right-wing) think-tank, Aid goes out into the wilds of the internet to get a read on the upcoming General Election - and join us in our Communal Cry as we sob at the news stories that have made and broken this week.

    #271 // The St Georges Day Special!

    It's a St George's Day SPECIAL! Where we go through all the amazing great things about England. From our commitment to help the needy (by shipping them off to Rwanda) to a list of ways we excel... in under performing.

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.

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 👏🏻
