EPISODE 1

The Rest is Bollocks

When two of the world's most unlikely cultural commentators, Brian Hnnng and Goatie McWimaway, forge a rare podcast partnership, their seemingly inconsequential political punditry is life-changing for all concerned. Unmissable drama, hilarious off-shoots. All copyright: Neil Fitzgerald Contact the writer; producer and performer for rights, etc: neilsfitzgerald@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

EPISODE 2

Funny Business: Who Shot The Yeoman?

Who shot Stan 'the Yeoman' Yeo? A devastating account of what really happened the night the stand-up comedian was gunned down on stage, which also provides an eviscerating look at the automated future of tomorrow's laughter. Opening music: Black to Comms - Hotel Freund is used with kind permission of the artist in December 2017.

EPISODE 3

A Horseshit Apocalypse of Two Halves

Was Mahler's 9th Symphony inspired by a sighting of the eldritch abomination in the Atlantic Ocean in 1908? Can self-styled cosmic weirdo Cthulhu escape the logics of capitalism by starting an 80s tribute band, Great Dreamer & The Mediocrities? And just what the hell is the spine-chilling "incident" affecting Offalthropp? Written, performed, recorded & produced by Neil Fitzgerald.

EPISODE 6

Consolation is not on the map

No man had made it, that we knew. Not time enough, for it was the work of one night, and not even, but a minute, maybe less. Soft thunder that woke most who heard it as muffled cannon fire or dynamite down a mineshaft in their dreams. A mysterious hole appears in Consolation, which soon draws in prospectors, charlatans, and other poor misguided wretches from all over Zobesland. Then one day, an even stranger stranger appears.

EPISODE 7

Laughter in a Time of Mass Extinction

Delve deep into the roadkill of the A6195. Discover magpie-cop duo, Esco & Orrison. And prepare to shed tears over Barry Higginbottom's 'driver tizer'. In this relic from the future, robot voices recite the exhibition catalogue of 'Laughter in a time of mass extinction', the final work of one-man art collective What About Me?
