Electrical Podcast - Episode 1 of 10

June 26, 2011 • 40 mins
In this, the first Electrical Podcast, Mr. McHale is frustrated at Apple, having just “bought a job” after feeling pressurised into creating a podcast. We meet paranoid aristocrats Hugo and Phillipa at Bromsgrove, their family pile. The slogan on a Lion King poster gets pedantically analysed, Morrissey goes down a storm at his local comedy club, and we try to decide whether Morse or Poirot (but definitely not Tom Barnaby) can claim...

Things To Do In Denver When You're Drunk (2005)

January 10, 2011 • 31 mins
FROM THE ARCHIVES: This was (and still is) a film I made way back in 2005 after a friend told me about the Modern Drunkard Magazine and its annual convention. We had a ball. Another big thank you and hello to Frank, Christa, Luke, Nick, Sid and all you other fruit loops out in Denver. I'll be back to the Lion's Lair one day. Good times.

December 19, 2010 • 41 mins
In this series finale Christmas edition of the Electrical Podcast, we are serenaded by Lancashire’s finest Mr. George Formby as he sings a ditty about his time as a trader of human lives. We look into the idea of homophobic Christmas crackers, raise a glass to one of the stupidest things ever said in a shop, and then settle down by the fire for a Christmas story about the worst gig Mr. McHale has ever done.* Finally, we catch up wi...

Electrical Podcast - Episode 9 of 10

December 12, 2010 • 44 mins
“Nine times….” as the brilliant Jeffrey Jones said as headmaster Ed Rooney in the eighties comedy classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. But was is a classic? Rather, was Ferris, instead of being a hero to teenagers everywhere, simply a spoilt, jumped up little menace? And what’s all this Facebook business? Surely it’s not a suitable environment for anyone over the age of twenty-five? We have a good look at the miserly madness of second...

Electrical Podcast - Episode 8 of 10

December 5, 2010 • 45 mins
For starters, we look at the common lies told by stand-up comedians, followed up with a critique of the rubbish interests people sometimes include on their CVs, and a story from Mr. McHale’s childhood about a trip to Legoland. Doomsday Diana, the flat’s ghost, makes an unwelcome reappearance to answer a listener’s e-mail, before we examine the importance of accents and their effect in the world of business. As if that wasn’t enough...

Electrical Podcast - Episode 7 of 10

November 28, 2010 • 40 mins
This week, we look at the astronomical coasts associated involved when someone is selfish enough to invite you to their wedding. We are interrupted by the unwelcome visit of Diana, the flat’s ghost, who has a talent for looking into the future. Mr. McHale, in an uncharitable mood, them takes aim at people who send postcards from abroad, before opening the bile throttle fully when it comes to the ludicrous way people tend to behave ...

Electrical Podcast - Episode 6 of 10

November 21, 2010 • 41 mins
Why does the Prime Minister, the best person at being a Minister, allow him or herself to be bullied during Prime Minister’s Questions? The notion is proposed that the leader of the UK should be harder. Forget the engagement of Prince Wilhelm and Kate Middleclass, the royal wedding everyone’s looking forward to is that of Princess Beatrice and some rugby player or someone – and we go there LIVE! Next, we explore the beautiful seasi...

Electrical Podcast - Episode 5 of 10

November 13, 2010 • 40 mins
First up, we look in far, far too closer detail at the lyrics to Manic Monday by The Bangles, concluding that it’s a homage to TV show 30 Rock or something to do with fruit picking. Gazza gives any aspiring footballer tips on how to shoot, and we discuss American positivity compared to British negativity. This is followed by a thesis on how we all got our surnames, back in medieval forest dwelling times. Anyone with a surname is we...

Electrical Podcast - Episode 4 of 10

November 7, 2010 • 44 mins
Now better than The Lord Of The Rings, with four episodes, this week sees us delve into the ugly business of paying for two drinks by debit or credit card in the pub as well as the vile habit of men carrying around coins in their wallets. Second, we learn some top football tips from Paul Gascoigne, before discussing the idiocy of nationalism and how William Blake’s hymn Jerusalem is quite ridiculously wide of the mark. Importantly,...

Find a fuse and stick it in! Light the fire and pour some gin! A toast to her, a toast to him! Electrical Podcast! Similarly to The Lord Of The Rings, this podcast now has three episodes. In the third, Mr. McHale forgets about the comedy aspect of this series and sets off on a furious rant against Radio 1 and, in particular, it’s hard to spell, vapid presenter Fearne Cotton. Mozzer turns the air blue down at the Side Splitter Come...

Plug in here, and plug in there! Turn that on and do your hair! Sparks and static, in the air! Electrical Podcast! The second episode contains analysis of the Death Star entry in Wikipedia, another visit to Bromsgrove where Hugo and Phillipa have had a spot of bother with the Dwight-Morgans, and we entertain the idea that blasphemy must be irritating rather than insulting to omnipotent God and Jesus. Further, we’re back at the Sal...
