Invasion Of The Meal Snatchers - Halloween special,...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/10/27

A 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.READ EVAN'S BLOG HERE: https://hatfulofhistory.wordpress.com/DONATE TO EVAN'S PATREON HERE:

Not On A Break - Circuit Break, Greater Manchester,...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/10/19

Everybody'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 despairing jokes,

Levelling Up The North - Three Tiers, Regenaron,...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/10/12

Which 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 pond.JOIN

Election Fever - Trump's Got The COVID, Margaret...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/10/05

Who 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 OUT SHOUT

Pulling Together - Winter Economy Plan, Trump's...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/09/28

We 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 shitty

Everyone's Problem - Second Wave, Test Mess,...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/09/21

Its 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 responsibility

Illegal Mingling - The Rule of 6, Law Breaking...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/09/14

Yes 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 to

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/09/07

It'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. Plus investigative journalist Emma Youle (@EmmaYoule) from HuffpostUK (@HuffPostUK) about the PPE contracts the

Moral Duties and Mutant Algorithms - Going Back To...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/08/31

The 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 areas

No Spain No Gain - Spanish self isolation, Russia...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/07/27

Go 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. This week's show is on the Spain quarantine, the Russia Report, the Boris Diet and

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/07/24

I 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 Nicola

Over by Christmas - Russian Interference, Vaccines,...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/07/20

Don'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 facing the

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/07/13

Get 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 MacFarlane

PARPOLBROLIVE (BUT NOT LIVE)

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/07/11

This 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 played off

World Leading Except For The Rest Of The World -...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/07/06

Isn'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 are

Taking Liberties - Pubs reopening, Resetting...

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/06/29

Don'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 angry that

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/06/22

I 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.RACE ON THE AGENDA: https://www.rota.org.uk/FOLLOW RACE ON THE AGENDA ON TWITTER:

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/06/15

It'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

Partly Political Broadcast ·

2020/06/08

A 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 enough ever

Wow, 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. Plus there is no interview because Tiernan is rubbish.
