In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with writer and YouTuber Claudia Boleyn, who heckled in support of Gaza during a recent episode of BBC Question Time. We discuss her experiences during Question Time, her motivations, her thoughts on Gaza and more.

Episode 27 - Question Time And Gaza (ft. Claudia Boleyn)

Jack and Yair break down shocking new "smoking gun" evidence that has come to light suggesting Keir Starmer is agent of CIA. Then the rest of the episode is basically about another knight of the realm, Sir Paul McCartney, his various arrests for weed, and he and John Lennon's flirtations with radical politics in the early 1970s.

Episode 285 - Get Hi

Jack and Geraint (@wariotifo) present extremely timely post-match analysis of the "funny" Rochdale by-election. But first, Geraint flies to Mar-a-Lago, Florida to interview somebody professing to be Beach Boys legend Mike Love.

Episode 286 - Rockin' and A-Rollin' At Mar-a-Lago

Special guest Jack joins Geraint, FFF and friend of the show @MarkedAsRed on their weekly wrestling stream Top Rope Deep Dive to discuss the life and career - and watch some great wrestling moments - of Canadian-American wrestler, podcaster, musician and all-round Renaissance man Chris Jericho.

Jack and Yair talk about the unhinged response to Jonathan Glazer's acceptance speech for Best Director at the Oscars, Lex Friedman's five-hour Finkelstein-Destiny debate on Palestine, and the continued efforts by Starmer's Labour to big up Margaret Thatcher.

Episode 287 - Refuting John Galzer

Following his hit appearance on RP co-host Geraint @wariotifo's hit wrestling stream Top Rope Deep Dive the other week, Jack realises he has the ability on Discord to call into, and sabotage, the other guys' streams at any time.

PREVIEW: RP288 Extra - Cleesewatch 2024 (ft. Will Sloan)

RP Corp founder Jack Frayne-Reid and post-2019 junior partner G. Wariotifo bicker for an hour or so about the commercial and creative direction of the show, culminating in the return of classic RP segment "Cop or Comrade", a Nick Cave impressions competition, and the shock departure of half the once-iconic duo.

Episode 289 - The Great Conflagration

Luke Akehurst, the professional apartheid/genocide lobbyist director of "We Believe In Israel" and influential Labour right functionary, is likely to be handpicked by Keir Starmer's dictatorial leadership to run as MP in a very safe seat in the current UK election. In this extract from a much longer episode from 2018, we go through the mad ideological correctness test off his blog, which he apparently still updates and can be found here: https://lukeakehurst.blogspot.com

Recording our first episode proper of the election tomorrow!
