November 17, 2020 00:01 - 1 hour - 67.2 MBDom's gone, Johnson's not allowed outside and everything is because of Lee Cain which you all knew because you all know who that is obviously.

Donnie Got Trumped - US Election, COVID Vaccine possibilities and Samantha Kutner the Proud Boy Whisperer
November 10, 2020 00:01 - 1 hour - 77.3 MBThe Trump has gone! Well sort of, I mean not really. There's still 11 more potentially terrifying weeks left of him as President. But America voted for Joe Biden, or at least a lot of them did. I mean 71m still voted Trump. But it's the first sort of win in ages for anyone who likes politicians who don't instantly seem like cartoon villains. And there may be a COVID vaccine too! But it'll be like jumping hurdles to catch a train or something. So basically some good things which is nice. This...

ParPolBro Minisode - Lockdown 2, EHRC report, Soy Sauce
November 02, 2020 17:19 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBI know I said I wasn't going to do an episode this week but I mean *points to everything* exactly. This is just a mini episode about the lockdown sequel, and some really, boring comedy lite looks at the EHRC report that absolutely no one will like listening to.

Invasion Of The Meal Snatchers - Halloween special, Free School Meal rejection, US election, Gary Sambrook Eats Big Dinners and historian Evan Smith on Cancel Culture
October 27, 2020 00:01 - 1 hour - 77.5 MBA sort of Halloween episode but only sort of, because really what's the point when nothing is as scary as the news anymore? Conservatives being super ghoulish in wanting children to go hungry, a possible four more years of Trump and the worst thing somehow being the word scum. Plus a chat with historian and write Evan Smith (@evanishistory) about if cancel culture is actually a thing.

Not On A Break - Circuit Break, Greater Manchester, No Deal Again and Dr Natalia Pasternak on tackling COVID pseudoscience in Brazil
October 19, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBEverybody's having a COVID break except England. Why are we always the exception to the rule? Well Rishi Sunak says a national lockdown would inflict terrible harm, but he left out that that's because him, Johnson and their stupid government wouldn't want to help anyone very much through it. Oh and No Deal is back on the table, along with very little food and what's there is pumped full of antibiotics or has additives in that make your children try to eat their own faces. The usual despairin...

Levelling Up The North - Three Tiers, Regenaron, COVID stats and Matthew McGregor on the US election
October 12, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBWhich of the three tiers is your area in? Tiers Morgan? Tiers Brosnan? Dave Tiers? A whole new set of restrictions for the same old coronavirus that the government is trying its best to spend lots of money not tackling. Meanwhile in the US, Donald Trump is coronavirus personified, and Mike Pence appears to be dead. Plus some quick COVID stats and a chat with former Obama campaign digital strategist Matthew McGregor (@mcgregormt) on the US election and everything what's going on across the po...
Election Fever - Trump's Got The COVID, Margaret COVID, Excel COVID, COVID COVID, Conference Season and a chat with Ellie Fishleigh about political literacy
October 05, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBWho knew Donald Trump would get COVID? Oh wait, yes everyone. It's amazing its taken so long. And now he's out and about causing actual election fever. Meanwhile the UK government can't use Microsoft Excel, the PM doesn't know what the Coronavirus restrictions are, Priti Patel is still horrible and thankfully no one could watch Michael Gove. A standard week in 2020 then. Plus a chat with Ellie Fishleigh (@_machiavelle_) about why you shouldn't treat comedians like journalists. Oops. CHECK O...
Pulling Together - Winter Economy Plan, Trump's Taxes, the ol' 'rona, and behavioural scientist Dr Andrew Marcinko on how we react to double standards
September 28, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBWe all have to pull together to fight the virus, said the Prime Minister. It's just that you have to do all the pulling with no financial support or help from the government who are too busy imprisoning students, telling schools that kids can't learn about how awful they are and making Kent independent. Another standard week in British politics, meanwhile over the pond Donald Trump hasn't paid his taxes for years. But then whether he's actually ever done any work is also debatable. Plus some...
Everyone's Problem - Second Wave, Test Mess, Conspiracy Dispelling and Dave Powell with a climate change update
September 21, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBIts second wave time even though we all know sequels aren't as good as the originals. What happens with Wave 2? More Wave, more lockdown? Some electric boogaloo? No, mostly it'll probably be just more vague messaging and inaction from the government. Surprise! But actually all of it is your fault for wanting tests, for getting infected a month earlier than expected and generally demanding anything from our poor PM who's only earning half the salary he used to when he didn't have any responsi...
Illegal Mingling - The Rule of 6, Law Breaking Conservatives and immunologist Professor Sheena Cruickshank on COVID-19 vaccine possibilities
September 14, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 61.9 MBYes its now British to break the law apparently, but also don't see more than 6 friends you'll get a criminal record. Which I think makes you a proper patriot. Or something. It's all very confusing but what we do know is that now its all the EU and Remainers fault that the Prime Minister doesn't like the Withdrawal Agreement he came up and said was fantastic, and coronavirus infections are rising because irresponsible young people followed all the government's advice. This week Tiernan chats...
Episode 200 - Yes somehow the show has made it this far! Brexit shenanigans again, Extinction Rebellion, COVID rises and investigative journalist Emma Youle on the curious government COVID contracts
September 07, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBIt's episode 200! Yes somehow this podcast has survived three prime ministers, Brexit, Trump and that time Michael Gove did a rap and we all felt sick. To celebrate the double centenary of the show this episode includes some guest shout outs, plus the usual gags on the new Withdrawal Agreement shenanigans, everyone being upset they couldn't buy a terrible newspaper and COVID case rises.

Moral Duties and Mutant Algorithms - Going Back To Work, Prom Nonsense, Refugee FAQs and Caroline Spalding on schools reopening
August 31, 2020 23:01 - 58 minutes - 53.5 MBThe podcast returns from its summer break, and luckily absolutely nothing has happened over the past 5 weeks so I'm sure you haven't missed it. Yeah? Yeah? The Prime Minister has returned from his 7008th holiday this year to tell everyone else to go back to work or Dominic Raab's only source of food will disappear, meanwhile Gavin Williamson expresses limpet like skills Theresa May would be proud of and the Liberal Democrats elect a leader so dull they should excel in all the political grey ...

No Spain No Gain - Spanish self isolation, Russia Report, Boris Diet, 1 year of Johnson and Nick Pettigrew on his book Anti-Social
July 27, 2020 23:01 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MBGo to Spain but oh no don't! Go out and eat fast food to save the economy, but oh no don't do that, why would you do what we said? Quick lose weight or the NHS will fall over. Its another week of contradictions and assurances that things aren't there because no one's checked. Somehow we've had a whole year of Boris Johnson and he's managed to exceed all expectations by being even more shit than we could have expected.

PARPOLBRONUS - Extra interview clips from recent episodes with Dr Oliver Double and Nicola Branch
July 24, 2020 13:57 - 20 minutes - 18.7 MBI think you deserve a bonus. You've been trying really hard lately and no, no it doesn't matter if you've not actually achieved anything. It's all about making the effort. So as a reward, or rather because I wanted something to do, here's some bonus interview clips that'd I'd removed from in the interviews with Dr Oliver Double about the existential crisis facing the British comedy scene thanks to the pandemic, from the July 21st ep 'Over By Christmas.' Plus a short clip from my chat with Ni...
Over by Christmas - Russian Interference, Vaccines, Brexit Fallout and Dr Oliver Double on the existential threat facing the comedy circuit
July 20, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 70.7 MBDon't worry it'll be all over by Christmas, promised the Prime Minister. But he didn't say of which year. Still I'm sure the wars with Russia and China will pass the time. Going back to work, face masks, the constant shitness of Chris Grayling and a little Brexit Fallout because this week's show was released before the Russia Report and I have no idea what will be in it. Plus a selfish interview with Dr Oliver Double (@oliverdouble) where Tiernan asks him all about the existential threat fac...
Check, Change, Oh - Masks, Let's Get Going, Cummings Cronyism and Laurie MacFarlane on just what was in the Summer Statement
July 13, 2020 23:01 - 57 minutes - 52.8 MBGet ready for the Brexit we told you to get ready for last year then didn't get ready for QUICK BUILD A LORRY PARK. Yes its the time of the year when you have to prepare for a Brexit you don't actually understand while MPs insist you may or may not have to wear a mask on your face or maybe your arse indoors, outdoors or in space. Another week of confusion, a look at how Dominic Cummings gets cash for his pals and a chat with economics editor for OpenDemocracy (@OpenDemocracy) Laurie MacFarla...

PARPOLBROLIVE (BUT NOT LIVE)
July 11, 2020 15:26 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBThis is a bonus episode that you may or may not want but it's here anyway. A recording of Tiernan's attempt to do a live podcast on Friday, using the fun Ramble FM app. None of you listeners called in, and instead he spent ages talking to an interesting random caller going by the name of 'icwiener', but it ended up being a lot more fun than that name might suggest. WARNING: May contain jokes that will get reused on next week's proper show. WARNING: There is a bit where the PPB jingle is play...
World Leading Except For The Rest Of The World - Johnson's not new new deal, opening pubs for the NHS, and Geoff Whelan on how COVID has hit the legal sector
July 06, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 60 MBIsn't it great that the government are doing the bare minimum you'd hope they'd do? I don't know just how to thank them for being ambitious and bailing out the arts after some theatres have already had to close and announcing a new plan that is exactly like the old plan but worse. This week Tiernan looks at the new old deal, Sunak's upcoming economic update and there's a chat with barrister Geoff Whelan (@keep_it_brief) about the backlog of cases due to COVID19 and the changes the government...
Taking Liberties - Pubs reopening, Resetting Whitehall, being as fit as a butcher's dog and Nicola Branch on Isreal's plans to annex the West Bank
June 29, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 72.2 MBDon't worry everyone, our Prime Minister can do press-ups. I know you were worried about the state of the country with the coronavirus and collapsed economy, but it's ok because Boris Johnson can heave his inflated carcass off the carpet at least long enough to take a photo, so that means he's healthy. You know, unlike those people that died of COVID19 because they weren't patriotic enough or something. This week is about being as fit as a butcher's dog, resetting Whitehall, and getting angr...

Money For Nothing - Alert Level 3, Track And Trace Not App'ning and Maurice Mcleod on BLM, the racial equality commission and DfID
June 22, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 59.5 MBI wish I could get £11m to develop an app that doesn't work, I reckon I'd even do it months quicker than anyone Matt Hancock has hired so far. On the up side, we're at alert level 3 now, on account of there being no scientists allowed to tell us otherwise. Plus a special guest star of all the hayfever in Tiernan's face and a chat with Maurice Mcleod (@mowords) about BLM, the racial equality commission and DfID.

Shop 'til You Drop (Dead) - Non-essential COVID catching, racist protesters pissing on statues, Robert Jenrick's cash for favours and Dan Rebellato on coronavirus's effect on the theatre industry
June 15, 2020 23:01 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MBIt's ok you can go shopping now which will totally save you from any germs. Got a store loyalty card? Ah great, now you won't get COVID twice. I'm sure that's what the scientists say but who knows as we haven't seen any of them for days. Far right protests, Robert Jenrick doing dodgies and Boris Johnson continues to seem hating being PM. But its ok because now you can queue for 10 hours to buy new pants. Plus a chat with Dan Rebellato (@DanRebellato) about coronavirus's effect on the theatre...

June 08, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBA different episode again but don't worry, there's still tons of ire filled gags about people who love statues and horses more than human rights. But also this week, I realised slightly too late just how exhausting it must be for black commentators/artists/writers etc to be asked the same Qs over and over again and rather than get a new interviewee for this week, I've put together some clips of past interviews where those same questions were answered over the last few years because not enoug...
Not Moving On - Lockdown Lifting, BlackLivesMatter, everything being terrible, the 5 Tests and no interview because Tiernan is rubbish
June 01, 2020 23:01 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBWow, last week was shit wasn't it? A look at all the terrible happenings from lockdown liftings too soon, racist American cops, and a glance at whether the UK has actually passed the 5 tests or not. SPOILER: No of course not.

May 25, 2020 23:29 - 1 hour - 65.8 MBA tired, later than planned episode because Dominic Cummings can stop not regretting breaking the law. A look at driving to test your eyesight, responsible parenting and more exhausting tedious shit that the government keep getting away with. Plus two interviews!

Owing It To The Kids - Schools, Brexit and a chat with Dr Tony O'Sullivan at Keep Our NHS Public
May 18, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 58.1 MBThe Conservatives say they owe it to the children to get them back in schools during the pandemic, which makes you wonder just what it is kids did to them to now deserve this sort of repayment. Plus immigration bill, all the rest of the week's nonsense and awfulness, Brexit Fallout returns and you know you missed it and there's a chat with Dr Tony O'Sullivan (@drtonyosullivan) from Keep Our NHS Public (@keepnhspublic) on how privatisation of the healthcare service has made the now time even ...
STAY ALERT! - Going to work but not going to work, new lockdown measures and a chat with Applied Futurist Tom Cheesewright on what might happen next
May 11, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBSTAY ALERT! NEVER SLEEP! STAY ALERT! FILL YOUR EYES WITH COFFEE! What does the government's new slogan mean? Why isn't Wales, Scotland or NI doing it? Why does the rest of the world think we're idiots? So many questions and little to no answers. A look at all the new lockdown rules and a chat with Applied Futurist Tom Cheesewright (@bookofthefuture) about just what might happen next.

Getting The R Down - Tests that aren't tests, Baby Wilfred, and a chat with a former COVID19 111 call centre worker and APT Gemma Norburn
May 04, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 57.8 MBThanks to new government methods of numbers not meaning anything, this podcast now has 100,000 listeners a week! You know, if you include all the people who don't listen to it. This week Tiernan (Laddish - The Guardian) looks at tests that aren't, Baby Wilfred BoJo, and the Hancock track app. Plus a chat with a former COVID19 111 call centre worker and another chat (I spoil you I do) with the so very cheery APT Gemma Norburn who talks about being an NHS mortuary worker and cake.

Invisible Muggery - Boris Returns, Deloitte testing, SAGE and Pope Lonergan on issues within the care home system
April 27, 2020 23:01 - 1 hour - 68 MBDon't worry everyone the Prime Minister is back! Oh wait, no, he was here this morning spouting something about a mugger, but where's he gone now? Anyway it doesn't matter because even though everything is terrible it could have been worse if the government hadn't done the absolute bare minimum required to stop it being the absolute worst. Phew! We should all be so grateful. More chat like this on this week's show, plus some COVODDS and COVSODDS and a chat with brilliant comedian and former ...
HEALTH AND THAT - Continued lockdown, PPE supplies, COVID-19 Myths and Pauline Eyre on new parents during pandemic times
April 20, 2020 23:01 - 55 minutes - 51 MBWe are at the peak. Not of coronavirus cases, but of collective stupidity. Badges for NHS staff instead of PPE, a Prime Minister that can't even be bothered to attend meetings and everyone happy that the health service has to now be funding by elderly people doing exercise. A normal podcast episode again, if such a thing is possible anymore, with some COVID-19 myth dispelling and a chat with antenatal teacher and comedian Pauline Eyre (@yespaulineeyre).

April 13, 2020 23:01 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MBA not proper episode as Tiernan is having a break, sort of. So some thoughts on the rather bleak last week of pandemic lockdown times including the PM's recovery, Priti Patel's special maths and the leaked internal Labour report. Plus some bonus audio from Tiernan's twitch stream featuring all the podcast descriptions of Michael Gove, Matt Hancock and some stand up, as well as some very old stand-up from the archives. Hope you are all safe and coping ok and a proper episode will be back next...
Essential Confusion Only - Lockdown, PM in ICU, the new Shadow Cabinet and Sue Tibball from the Sheila McKechnie Foundation on civil society during the pandemic crisis
April 07, 2020 21:35 - 1 hour - 63.4 MBA slightly later podcast than usual what with the PM's coronavirus symptoms being touch and go, which is probably not the term I should use though it is likely that's how he caught it. We now have acting PM Raab, no end to the lockdown and lots of confusing advice about what you should and shouldn't do. Is there an end in sight? Will the new Labour cabinet help or just fight themselves again? All that plus a chat with Sue Tibballs (@Sue_Tibballs) at the Sheila McKechnie Foundation (@SMKCampa...
Not Episode 182
April 06, 2020 23:01 - 2 minutes - 1.97 MBI was going to release this week's podcast, then the PM went into intensive care and I thought it best not. Normal podcasting will resume soon.

Staying Positive But Also Not - Lurgy Lockdown, Positive Things, Every Corbyn Description and Dean Burnett on how our brains are handling this
March 30, 2020 21:50 - 1 hour - 71 MBITS ONLY ANOTHER EPISODE ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS. A sentence that will be this podcast blurb for the next 3-6...years. Its ok though because despite us all being locked down and isolation nation, there is still politics happening. Even though most of it is just which MP has coronavirus today. So this week's show is all about our positive PM, self employed non-help, some actually cheery news, sort of, and a traditional ParPolBro tribute to Jeremy Corbyn of every description of him ever used on ...

March 23, 2020 23:54 - 1 hour - 60 MBSo many things to talk about on this week's show that you can listen to while on lockdown. There's the coronavirus, and the COVID-19 virus and maybe we should also talk about that nasty bug that's going around. No not Michael Gove, I mean the one that makes you cough. Anyway it's all covid up in here with economic historian Chris Colvin (@cliochris) guiding us in what lessons we should take from historical lurgies.

I mean, obviously it's on COVID-19, the Budget and a chat with Mat Lawrence (@DantonsHead) at Common Wealth (@cmmonwealth) but even if it wasn't and was just me repeating the word 'nodules' again and again, you'd still tune in because it's better than staring at the wall till the earth is disinfected.
