Ship Full of Bombs

Antigen Internet Radio - Episode #39 - Realm of Twilight

After a decade of cuts, a new photograph of the king brings hope to public sector workers in the UK, prompting Jason to reflect on the role of the monarchy in 21^st century Britain.

Can Prince Andrew teach us the true meaning of friendship? Does the king really think dolphins are fish? And will a last-minute celebrity intervention save support for care leavers in Suffolk? Enter the realm of twilight to find out.

Plus, Xolile Madinda tells us why he contributed to Cease Silence, a new album of music by artists opposed to Israel’s military action in Gaza.

He bonds with immigration minister Robert Jenrick over their shared hatred of cartoon bears and orphans.

Antigen Internet Radio - Episode #31 - Needle Time E

Two hours of tunes and no jokes about dropping an E.

Antigen Internet Radio - Episode #30 - Seaside Special

It’s the Antigen Internet Radio Seaside Special! And that can only mean one thing – an hour and a half of mermaids, masturbation and motorised lawnmowers. Join Jason as he helps the people of Southend-on-Sea City celebrate Brexit’s third birthday with salty tales of saucy pinnipeds and raunchy ride-on lawnmower action. Puzzle over whether a pint of Brexit is half-full or half empty, and find out how Jacob Rees-Mogg made leaving the EU suck more than ever. Tune in now to discover the most effective way to deter mermaids from illegally entering the UK to seduce our menfolk with their abnormally developed breasts.
