Paul threatens to reduce his word count down to 25 words this week, but Eli is desperately having none of it. He just wants a nice, normal episode of CheapShow. But when as CheapShow ever been nice and normal? On this week’s episode, Eli is obsessed with assonance and tongue-twisters for no good reason, a package from New Zealand offers a lot to munch over and Paul has discovered an old board game based on the career of UK comedian/actor Lenny Henry! Thanks to an online website called Sanza, a very kind listener to the podcast has sent CheapShow some tasty treats from New Zealand and there is a LOT to slurp, crunch and guzzle over. How will they go down with Paul and Eli? For a Gannon’s Golden Games segment, Paul has discovered a “stand up comedy” themed board game, but will playing it actually raise any laughs, or will the usual in-fighting ruin the love of the game? As ever, you’ll find out over the next 75 minutes!

Ep 462: Munchos By Proxy

https://thecommunists.org/2025/10/01/news/industry/the-spark-002/
The first issue of our industrial news sheet examines recent cases of trade union leaderships failing their members and the wider working class. The trade union movement’s servility to the Labour party is the root cause of the inactivity on our union bureaucracies. We need to break all links between working-class organisations and Labour party politicians and bureaucrats, whether ‘old’, ‘new’ or self-identifying as ‘revolutionary’.
Read the October 2025 issue of our industrial matters free sheet as a pdf.

Industrial News Issue Number One


https://thecommunists.org/2025/04/30/news/capitalist-overproduction-crisis-solved-by-socialist-planned-economy/
Only socialist planned production can overcome the crises of capitalist overproduction and deliver wealth, peace and equality to the working masses. Socialist production is planned to meet the physical, social and cultural needs of the people, as seen in the modern cities of today’s DPRK and China.

The worst ever capitalist crisis can only be solved by a socialist planned economy

Although Paul & Eli have sworn off getting anything from Temu, Ali Express or Wish, that doesn’t stop our listeners! Whether that’s for good or for ill. This week, CheapShow HQ has been sent something via the PO Box (details below) and its jam packed with Ali Express (and charity shop) treats and, in some cases, horrors. Not only do the Cheap Chaps have a few awesome presents to be grateful for (thank you Obie!), but there is an Ali Express themed “Price of Shite” to tackle. When the items can be truly random and the prices could be anything, just how many p’twings can Paul and Eli hope to get? Eli has his ideas, Paul has his own… but who will win, not only the game, but the “special prizes” on offer to the winner? It’s another tat filled audio adventure.

Ep 463: Mess Express

https://thecommunists.org/2025/11/01/news/france-epitome-capitalist-crisis/

As another country succumbs to the global economic crisis, ‘the markets’ demand harsh austerity to ‘restore faith’ and try to get spiralling debt under control. Mainstream economists insist that ‘decisive action’ is needed to resolve France’s fiscal crisis – in plain terms, deeper austerity imposed on the working class. Will France’s militant trade unions allow this latest attack to pass? The signs are that they will not.

France the epitome of capitalism in crisis

https://thecommunists.org/2025/11/01/news/rise-of-reform/

Is it likely that Nigel Farage will become British prime minister? And would this really make much difference to workers’ lives? The media has been working hard to cultivate an ‘outsider’ image for Nigel Farage, framing him as an ‘anti-establishment disrupter’ in the hopes that this will entice workers back towards putting their faith in the electoral system and accepting the Farage/Reform (bourgeois) narrative that immigrants and immigration are the cause of all their economic and social ills.

The rise of Reform

https://thecommunists.org/2025/11/18/news/striking-doctors-sent-on-suicide-mission/

Why do the unions continuously fail to make the link between medics’ conditions and the destruction of the NHS? The ritual call to ‘Kick the Tories out’ has long been an essential component of the fake-left’s control over the working-class movement. And this inability to understand the system or recognise the nature of our class enemies in turn explains working-class impotence in the face of the direst threats to our lives and livelihoods.

Striking doctors are being sent on a suicide mission

https://thecommunists.org/2025/11/24/leaflets/newark-leaflet-make-britain-great-for-workers/

We do not have to accept the material and moral decadence of our times as inevitable. A better world is possible. The decline we are seeing in Newark is repeated across the rest of Britain’s former industrial heartlands, and it will not be reversed under conditions of capitalist imperialism. When we wake up and realise the con we have been subjected to, we must work together for a completely different type of society – one where people’s needs decide everything and the economy is organised rationally.

To the workers of Newark: Make Britain great ... for workers

Hey everyone! You’ll all be using the word “Quaffle” soon. All the cool kids will be spouting “Quaffle”, we guarantee it! What does it mean? Does it matter? The fact is that Paul has come up with it and he’s desperately trying to make it stick. In fact, it’s all Paul can do with week, as Eli has been promised he can talk about sauces again. In an all new Sauce Report, Mr Silverman brings along a few new discoveries that have tickled his taste buds. Oh, how exciting! Thankfully, the PO Box received a new little package packed with a whole host of oddities and curios. And Hey, you may even learn something about the UK’s first ever trivia board game and its fascinating origin! Get your Quaffle on, it’s CheapShow time!

Ep 464: Quaffle

Sometimes on CheapShow, things can get TOO exciting at times. This week is probably not one of those times as Paul and Eli put “thick white sliced bread” to the Off Brand/Brand Off test! Four loaves of supermarket basic white bread will be chewed and reviewed by self-proclaimed supertaster, Eli J Silverman! Which will come out on top – the name brand leader or the budget supermarket equivalent? The results may surprise you… But probably won’t. As Christmas once again looms on the horizon, Paul orders the “Grinch” McDonald’s meal to see what makes it so “grinched”. Will it just be a load of green coloured food? Probably, but at least it comes with free Grinch socks! As the year winds itself down, CheapShow marches forward!

Ep 465: The Best Thing

CheapShow is a comedy podcast all about getting the very best out of the worst! Be it Poundlands, Charity Shops, Car Boot Sales or Bargain Bins, hosts Paul Gannon & Eli Silverman poke around in the corners of the high streets and internet to find treasure in the trash.

One week it could be a studio based show, the next, a live comedy event. It could even be a location report or a scripted adventure! A few things it is, however, is rude, crude, silly and drizzled in pop culture, nostalgia and plenty of verbal violence!

It has guests, videos, songs, reviews, games and dares.  We apologise in advance!
