Episode 450 was a big success and Eli and Paul celebrated accordingly. Until they didn’t. Following the live stream party, Paul went way too far with the drinking and is now suffering terribly. This means that the only person driving the podcast this week is Eli, so that means Paul is going to have to suffer through another indignity of Eli’s episode manifesto. As a result, it’s going to be a sauce and snack heavy themed podcast, which maybe isn’t the best course of action for a host who feels deathly ill and nauseous. However, there is one curious note to mention… Does Paul being ill make him a better podcaster? Or is episode going to land near the bottom of “worst episodes ever” lists? We guess you will have to listen to find out!

Ep 451: The Podcast After The Night Before

Once again, the PO Box delivers a cornucopia of crap to CheapShow HQ’s door, and it’s up to Paul and Eli to price it all up… Kinda! Eli is feeling a lot more cocky and confident then usual, and he thinks that he is set for yet another mammoth victory! Paul has a HUGE box of items for an episode long Price of Shite, but although he can’t play along, he also doesn’t want to miss out on those sweet, sweet p’twings! So, Gannon devised a cunning plan. If Eli is wrong on an item’s price, Paul can score his own points. How will this effect Eli’s confidence? Will Paul cheat? We guess you’re going to have to listen to find out! It’s an episode packed with a LOT more random tat than usual and there is a LOT to take in… Let’s dive in!

Ep 452: A Box Of Plenty

we hate alyssa

It’s time to get our platters out on CheapShow this week! Paul & Eli have unearthed a few comedy albums from the once popular Grumbleweeds musical troupe! Who are these gentlemen? Where they any good? Has their material aged well? Will we get annoyed listening to “There’s No Business Like Show Business” over and over and over? A quick listen to their output should answer a few of those questions! Elsewhere in this week’s episode, Paul’s got a Gannon’s Golden Games on the go and is very excited to play it. The game is an early 2000s electronic “eBay auction bidding game” and, as Eli and Paul are sadly about to find out, absolutely doesn’t work as an audio only podcast medium. Just how bad does it get? Listen in and find out…

Ep 454: eBay Gum!

HHR Ep. 479: (Part 2) We welcome back Filmmaker Patrick Rea to talk the award-winning WTF feature "Super Happy Fun Clown" including the balance of underground and classic horror, a family's impact, care of locations and the monsters within, kills, the edit and more!

HHR Ep. 479: (Part 2) We welcome back Filmmaker Patrick Rea to talk the award-winning WTF feature "Super Happy Fun Clown"

It’s an episode of extremes this week, as Eli and Paul battle through the usual segments whilst trying to deal with a whole host of new annoyances. Jimmy Biscuits and Richard Brandoff are back and trying to capitalise on their glorious return to the podcast. Paul is NOT happy to be dealing with an attic full of old and new CheapShow characters and something has to give. To make things worse, a trip to the Snack Palace reveals a very dark denouement for that particular segment. Two crisps enter, but do ANY of them leave this episode alive? Finally, there is a Price of Shite battle for the ages where Eli’s crown might just be about to slip! Can Paul make a glorious comeback? It’s time to find out.

Ep 456: Don't Call It A Comeback

This is not the episode we were expecting to put out! This week SHOULD’VE been a Tat Hunt episode but a technical disaster made it impossible for us to release until the audio was rescued. With a bit of luck, next week we will have the walkabout adventure we were super happy with and sad we may have lost forever! Until then, Paul and Eli had to do something this week, so they dove back into the “recording studio” to somehow pull a new episode out of their arses! Was the effort worth it? You’ll have to be the judge of that as Paul grabs some games from his bulging sack to see if there are any that can fill ONE HOUR of real time, red hot spicy CheapShow action!

Ep 457: This Was Not The Plan

(Stereo Edition)
Once again, it’s time for Paul and Eli to take to the high streets and venture on another Tat Hunt! This week they’ve taken themselves to Broad Street to see what they can get for £10! It’s an episode that investigates the contents of 5 charity shops to fond the treasure amongst the trash. It’s a surprisingly sunny day and the Cheap Chaps are full of excitement for the challenge is… almost. Along the way, they’ll tackle rude shop customers, unwanted flatulence and struggle to find a decent place to wrap up Part One of this random wander. It’s Part Two where the wheels begin to fall off and their best laid plans begin to crumble!

Special Thanks to Tom from The Channel 84 Variety Show Podcast who saved this episode from a digital grave!

Ep 458: Tat Hunt Teddington Broad Street (Stereo)

A Triumphant Year for Indigie Femme

With their ninth album, Just To Be, Indigie Femme invites listeners on a soulful journey of reflection, resilience, and reverence. Each song unfolds like a prayer in motion—woven with ancestral wisdom, contemporary rhythms, and harmonies that speak to the heart of belonging.

Their artistry has resonated far and wide, earning the Native American Music Award for Best Folk Recording, Best Vocal Performance at the New Mexico Music Awards, and a Bronze Medallion at the World Global Awards. Most recently, Indigie Femme’s powerful presence at the Native American Music Awards (NAMA) reaffirmed their role as trailblazers in Indigenous folk music, celebrating the beauty of cultural continuity and creative evolution.

Just To Be

Stand Up by Indigie Femme (3.49 mins)

“Welcome” by A.L.I.A.S.: A Guided Tour Through the Heart of the Hood

“Welcome,” one of the standout tracks from On Top of the World: Chapter 2 – The Takeover, is A.L.I.A.S. at his cinematic best. This song transforms gritty street realities into an immersive, thought-provoking guided tour—part social commentary, part storytelling, and fully rooted in the artist’s signature lyrical craftsmanship. Inspired by the classic “tour bus through celebrity homes” concept, “Welcome” flips the script and brings listeners into the unseen corners of urban life, offering a raw yet compassionate look at the places and people mainstream society rarely understands.

From its opening moments, “Welcome” sets a vivid tone. The soulful female-sung hook acts like a warm greeting at the door: “Welcome to the ghetto, I hope that you enjoy the sights…” Yet behind the harmony lies a deeper intention—to help listeners understand the plight and see the light. This dual message frames the entire song: beauty and struggle, humor and heartbreak, danger and resilience coexist on the same streets. A.L.I.A.S. plays the role of the tour guide, pointing out landmarks that don’t make travel brochures—abandoned buildings, corner hustlers, makeshift basketball courts, neighborhood legends, and daily survival rituals.

The Inspiration Behind the Song

“Welcome” draws heavily from A.L.I.A.S.’ own upbringing in the South Bronx, a place that shaped his worldview, his hustle, and his desire to uplift. The concept comes from noticing how people from outside the community often misunderstand or misjudge the hood. A.L.I.A.S. wanted to create a “cultural bridge”—something that would humanize the environment, honor the people who live in it, and show that even in chaos, there is warmth, humor, love, and pride.

This song also pays homage to classic hip-hop traditions: using vivid imagery, gritty storytelling, and lyrical depth to spotlight marginalized voices. It channels the energy of Nas, the street observation of Kendrick Lamar, and the narrative tone of early Jay-Z, but in a style unmistakably A.L.I.A.S.—sharp, clever, and rich with internal rhymes that reward repeat listens.

Who the Song Is For

“Welcome” is made for anyone who has ever lived in or been shaped by inner-city life. It resonates with those who know the hood intimately and appreciate its complexities. But it’s also crafted for listeners outside the culture—those who want to understand the realities behind the headlines. The track is equally a tribute to survivors and a challenge to outsiders to see the humanity behind the struggle.

Community leaders, social workers, teachers, and activists will find this song especially poignant. It gives voice to lived experiences that often go unheard. At the same time, hip-hop fans who crave storytelling with substance will feel right at home.

The Making of “Welcome”

The production blends atmospheric textures with a steady urban rhythm, creating a backdrop that feels like riding through city streets at twilight. The drums hit with weight, the bassline moves with intention, and subtle melodic layers give the track its emotional pull. The female hook was crafted to serve as an anthem—soft, soulful, and haunting, echoing like a memory.

A.L.I.A.S. structured the verses like chapters of a street novel. Each section reveals a new scene, a new character, a new truth. He intentionally designed the track to progress like an actual tour, with every stop offering another piece of the puzzle.

Final Thoughts

“Welcome” is more than music—it’s a journey. It’s a bridge between worlds, an invitation to look deeper, and a tribute to the places that made A.L.I.A.S. who he is. This track stands as one of the album’s most powerful story-driven records and a reminder that every neighborhood has a story worth hearing.

Step on the bus. Take the ride. Welcome to the ghetto.

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!

In the gritty echo chambers of the underground, where hip-hop remains raw, unfiltered, and real, one name continues to rise above the noise: A.L.I.A.S. Known by fans and followers alike as a lyrical prophet, street visionary, and spiritual soldier, A.L.I.A.S. is far more than your average emcee. He is the embodiment of struggle and triumph, pain and redemption, darkness and light.

Survival in the hood

Rising above your environment

Confronting personal demons

Spiritual warfare and awakening

Love and loyalty

Dreams and destiny

One of the defining characteristics of A.L.I.A.S.’s music is his ability to balance the street with the spiritual, the raw with the refined, and the profane with the profound. Whether he's discussing the hardships of hustling, the pain of loss, or the triumph of self-mastery, you always walk away from his tracks feeling transformed.
