Aid Thompsin & Other Disappointments

My name is Aid. I used to do Standup. Then I had two kids. The End. Between parenthood and the pandemic, I'm finding pretty much the only way to have a social interaction with people is to literally *book in a conversation with them* (and market it as a podcast). Every guest is going to be real upset when they realise I'm not even recording them, i'm just incredibly lonely.

#411 // We'll Play Together Soon.

On tonight's show we take a look at the impending murder of Prince Andrew, the Xi x Trump Sandwich that Keir Starmer has got himself into - and the kid who faked/acted out his own kidnapping by full-on shooting himself in the fucking thigh. Good times. #breakAleg Here are some links i really hope you click: Patreon <-- if you want episodes 2 days earlier than ev1 else, Discord chat, London meetups, end of show credit, 121-chat with me Write Me A Review <-- on Apple Podcasts, would be amaaaaazing Say "Hullo!" or give me a shout out on one of the usual: Twitter | Instagram | Tiktok

#409 // WEAR THE "GOOD" AS A GET-OUT

On tonight's show Wills and Kate are back to charity campaigning. But what does that get them? Tim Westwood becomes the latest high profile man to get charged for something horrendous but probably see no jail time. ALSO: Kemi's speech has apparently saved her. I'm not sure how/why.

#408 // Suella Braverman Is Actually Insane

#406 // A "HEY!" And A HANDJOB.

#404 // Buyers Remorse

Donald Trump has given a speech at the U.N. decrying the state of the UK and the lawlessness of the aftermath of London. Even though he just left the UK and had the time of his life here. Meanwhile: we have a new Far Right Watch for you. AND: Noel Clarke has to pay the Guardian £3m for their legal costs. What does his case tell us about modern misogyny, growth and the archetypal sex pest?

#400 // Signatures, Nonces, Polling, BLAOW!

On this week's mid-week show we take a look at the Green Party's uptick in polling thanks, seemingly, to new leader Zac Polanski. ALSO: a far-right watch segment that looks at various protest group's inconvenient penchant for kid grooming and child porn. ALSO: The Trump Signature shit is really heating up. Is Trump, himself, a paedophile? Maybe this is a paedophilia special? With the exception of Polanski whose only crime is to share the last name of a man who ravaged a child. But there is no suggestion that Zac himself is or was involved. Cannot stress that enough.

On this mid-week show, we wax lyrical about THAT Kirsty Alsopp tweet i put out. The infuriation of people who don't understand childcare and the pressures of parenthood.

#393 // Fauxtest At The Bell Hotel

On tonight's mid-week show we look at the online and media reaction to the Epping protests which have definitely NOT been infiltrated or coordinated by the Far Right and are - as they go to great pains to point out - just local "legit-concerns" parents. ALSO: Is Sharia Law REALLY Coming To The UK? LMFAO Nope. AND: a Christian teacher convinced his congregation to invest in his own personal crypto and went on a luxury spending spree with their money. Will he go to jail? Or get hired as a commerce Zsa for the Trump Administration? WE JUST DON'T KNOW.
