CheapShow is back on the snacks on this edition of the economy comedy podcast. Thanks to yet another brilliant box of goodies from Ivenne, Paul and Eli will get to sample a range of weird and (hopefully) wonderful, flavoured popcorn. There will be some surprises along the way, some good and some very, very bad! One may even turn Paul’s stomach! After all the popcorn has been rated and reviewed, it’s time to pop over to Silverman’s Platter to investigate some “interesting” musical vinyl offerings. They’ll hear more from Black Lace and discuss their self-styled “holiday camp novelty pop” track, “I Speaka Da Lingo!”. It doesn’t end there either! CheapShow discovers the work of Jon Isherwood, Portsmouth’s own godfather of “Polk” music. What starts with “Apple Pie” will end with “The Cucumber Song” and Jon’s own legacy. If all that isn’t enough, Paul and Eli will be visited by food reviewer John Gunty who will give us his own thoughts, as long as his wife stops interrupting… And as ever… Poor Track Bot (you’ll find out why this week)!

Ep 393: Popcorn And Polk

Yee-haw! Howdy Partners! This week, for no reason whatsoever, there is a “Wild West” theme to this particular “walkabout” episode. Paul and Eli are on the run from the Justice of the Peace and have decided to hide out in the woods and guzzle down their illegal moonshine. If the worst happens, they’ll have to shoot their way to freedom! What this actually means is that the Cheap Chaps will be putting on awful cowboy accents, running around Trent Park like idiots and drinking a range of unusual, flavoured Desperados beers. It has all the ingredients for an episode packed with chaos and stupidity. During their epic adventure, they’ll attempt to dangle from a broken swing, hold down that vile booze, abuse joggers under a obelisk and attempt a gun fight finale to see who is best sharpshooter! It’s a hot day and it’s all going to get weird and messy in this 2 hour 30 min odyssey!

Ep 394: A Bagful of Desperados

After weeks of harassment, Paul and Eli finally get their hands on Heinz Pickle Ketchup this week and give their final analysis on the product. Will it be worth the wait? Probably not. It’s a packed episode in general with a Sauce Report, a Charity Shop Showcase and a PO Box sourced Price of Shite to evaluate. Paul’s CSS item was meant to be a showstopper, guaranteed to wow his co-host, but it may be that his offering is a load of old balls. Will it join the Showcase, or will it have No Place? The show wraps up with a truly useless Price of Shite competition, a festival of garbage to price up for those much desired “p’twings”. If all that isn’t enough, the podcast welcomes The King of Pepsi to the show and Eli takes an INSTANT dislike to him, AND Paul says, “the funniest thing he’s ever said”! That’s quite the claim, we guess it’s up to YOU to decide. Enjoy!

Ep 395: The Quid's Gambit

Episode 41: Stu Hennigan

It’s a big old busy week at CheapShow HQ, as Paul and Eli are going to be spending most this week FILMING episode 400. However, this means that Paul doesn’t fancy doing a full proper editing job on the podcast, so demands a “real time” one hour episode. Uncut. Almost Uncut. Despite the tight time limit, the cheap chaps actually cram quite a lot into the episode. They’ll gobble down liquorice chocolate, slurp some odd Irn Bru soda, snack on some truffle chips and attempt to swallow a sour “Warhead’s flavoured” pickle. And that’s just the tip of the overstuffed iceberg. To make things even more “interesting”, Paul and Eli are playing a secret game in the background, but it’s threatening to detail the podcast before the show even gets started. Who will “Get Got”? Find out in this week’s breakneck episode!

THIS is the MONO (Keep it simple) VERSION

(Stereo version of this episode is available!)

Ep 398: Don't Get Got (Stereo Edition)

After all the excitement of 400, it’s back to the usual audio nonsense this week as Paul and Eli are joined by returning guest, Tom Mayhew! In a “much longer than expected” recording session, the terrible trio sample a range of odd fizzy pop and sample some homemade hot sauce! After much fuss, they’ve managed to secure the latest Coca Cola creation which is mixed with the flavour of Oreo cookies! Will it be more effervescent muck? Who knows? They also look into the curious fixation Germans apparently have with orange cola, and so they’ve got their hands on the premier brand to taste. As Tom is a bit of a Snooker fan, Paul’s found a board game based around the multi-balled sport called “Steve Davis Pot Black Snooker Break”! Hopefully it won’t be as dull as it looks. And FINALLY, Tom surprises Paul and Eli with a quiz about their past ventures, who will come out on top? We guess you will all have to find out by listening, won’t you?

Ep 401: How Many Chevys?

https://thecommunists.org/2020/10/22/news/theory/modern-monetary-theory-magic-money-tree-harpal-brar/

Modern Monetary Theory Is There A Magic Money Tree

When the call goes out, we answer! A recent which.com article looked into whether a posh cup of tea is any better than a cheap builder’s brew. When it comes to Tea, Paul and Eli are self-proclaimed experts and they decide to do their own mini taste test. Paul has bought cheap Tesco Own Brand, Yorkshire and Twinings tea to see if Eli can notice any considerable difference! Not only that, what does Eli think is the best? If you really want the answers to these enquiries, then give this podcast a listen! Before all that “science” happens, the cheap chaps have a gift box from New Zealand that contains some hot sauces AND a collection of candy that will delight and appal in equal measure! And finally, in a shocking turn of events, Eli has remembered Paul’s birthday! However, it will soon become apparent that he really shouldn’t have bothered!

Ep 402: Tea 2: Judgement Tea

Paul is not in the mood this week. He isn’t in the mood to be a podcaster. He isn’t in the mood to have a laugh. He isn’t in the mood for Eli. He isn’t in the mood for Eli’s vocal “chuntering” and all he IS in the mood for is a nap. Obviously, Eli loves this fact and is going to great pleasure in soaking up all of Paul’s self-loathing. All we are saying is, it may get personal this week! Luckily, there is some actual content, even if it’s not exactly the content they planned. Before they even get started, they take a tangent into the deeply scatological when they discover “rectal euphoria” is a thing and Eli suggests a new segment that ISN’T going to happen. CheapShow is back on the snacks, when they are introduced to Tayto “Might Munch” and given a taste test challenge. Meanwhile, a limited edition bag of Walkers crisps tries to gain entrance to the Snack Palace, but will it get in? Finally, Paul has a Charity Shop Showcase he believes will not only win Eli over, but also change the way we understand reality! As you can probably guess, it doesn’t go well for him.

Ep 403 An Invisible Touch

Northern Voices explores Northern writers (published and unpublished), storytelling and publishing. The podcast is hosted by Jen Bowden, a writer, editor, journalist and PhD candidate in Creative Writing at Curtin University exploring biases against the North in the UK book industry.
Music credit: 'Water of Tyne' performed by Edinburgh University Brass Band (2009) arranged by Jack Stobbs, edited and scored for Brass Band by David Dye. Used with kind permission of the publisher, arranger and performers.

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!
