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.

    #278 // A Pretty Bad Monday

    It's the Friday night live show and SWEET CHRIST it's been an atrocious week. The election campaigning has started insufferably and it hasn't even actually started yet. Meanwhile everyone lost their mind over a portrait of the King. And - faith in leadership be damned - our Prime Minister has told us we should ALL be scared about basically everything.

Great Funny / Insightful Show

I’ve been listening to Aid’s show most weeks during the pandemic and I can honestly say it’s kept me great company! Sharp/insightful humor that always gets me cackling and a good mix of guests covering a wide array of topics.
