Paul is back from his week away in Los Angeles. It was a chance for him to actually unwind and enjoy himself, free from the burden of his podcast duties. However, he wasn’t completely “off the clock” as he managed to pick a few things up from his vacation for the podcast to nibble on and evaluate! In fact, you could say both Eli and Paul are in very chipper moods, despite one of them feeling under the weather and the other a little jetlagged. Over the course of the next hour, Eli will sample some very tasty, and much loved, mustard as well as some moreish snacks bought from the Little Tokyo part of LA. Paul also has a little taste test he wants to try, as he pits the American branded chocolate bars against their UK contemporaries! There’s a Kit Kat, some Rolos and a Snickers bar to compare to see which is actually better, the USA or UK version? Finally, Paul pits Eli to a Goodwill store sourced Price of Shite, with some items chosen to appeal to Eli’s passions. Everyone is feeling good this week, let’s see how long that lasts!

Ep 410: Hot Gesture Avocado

Beatrice speaks with John Pring about how welfare privatization and calls to cut benefits in the name of reducing waste, fraud and abuse hollowed out the welfare state in the UK and directly led to the deaths of welfare recipients, and about his new book The Department: How a Violent Government Bureaucracy Killed Hundreds and Hid the Evidence.

The Human Cost of Welfare Reform w/ John Pring (11/21/24)

It’s another bag of random nonsense this week, as Paul and Eli bravely dive into a troubling world of second hand treats and terrors. As donated to us by Ash at the October live show (viewable on YouTube now!), it’s a bag with a proper mix of tat. What follows is another typically CheapShow wild ride covering the horrors of TikTok, dog treat toys, VHS based board games, advice from Timmy Mallett, unbelievably awful pun work, pyramid puzzles, and a wallet of DVDs with a grotty surprise! To make things more maddening, Eli is desperate to try out a brand new character but because Paul is poor evil, there is a very good chance this new character will be dead on arrival. If you want to know how old Paul and Eli feel these days, this episode will give you a very clear answer to that question!

Beatrice speaks with Cassandra Kislenko about ethical and political issues with Canada's expansion of MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) laws and how we should understand them as the UK debates its own MAID policy, and as a handful of U.S. states seek to implement similar laws.

Teaser - MAID and Austerity w/ Cassandra Kislenko

Before we end 2024, Eli has been itching to do another Noodle Pot Blitz episode and now is his time to shine! He’s brought along four examples to slurp down and review and it’s quite the mixture. There’s a Maggi Hot Cup, A Bachelors Pasta N Sauce, An Itsu Satay Rice Noodle and a ruddy Chicken Fajita Pot Noodle to devour and only one hour to cram it all in! Will the Pot Noodle be a pleasant surprise or will the Itsu live up to its underwhelming track record? You’ll find out in this instant noodle munch off. If there is any kink in this plan, it’s the fact that maybe, just maybe, Paul is losing his mind (again) this week. He must be overcome with noodle joy or something!

The Cheap Chaps will start their adventure by exploring the charity shops of Muswell Hill before venturing into the crowded, brightly lit streets of central London. Along the way, they’ll meet a grotty old Santa, a pirate, some inquisitive tourists, an angry shop assistant, deafening buskers and a “winter wonderland” that fails to impress! It’s the final walkabout of 2024 and Paul & Eli will have another noisy, rowdy, silly and predictably anti-climactic journey! Ho Ho Ho!

Ep 414: Joy To The Walk (Mono Edition)

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!
www.thecheapshow.co.uk

Marxist analysis of current events and scientific socialist theoretical insights from the CPGB-ML. Get educated and get organised!

Politics, culture, and public policy from the left. Stay alive another week.
