Ship Full of Bombs

Antigen Internet Radio - Episode #26 - Bin Fire of Insanity

Hear how one man’s love of testicles almost brought down a government. And, after Borexit, what next? As the PM goes AWOL, eleven potential successors face trial by public humiliation. Who can distance themselves furthest from everything they’ve endorsed for the last 12 years? And who will claim the ultimate prize – a country they’ve helped forge into the foodbank capital of Europe? It's up to 160,000 swivel-eyed lunatics to decide. Join Jason as he seeks the essence of pure Conservatism that fuels this bin fire of insanity.

And we celebrate the music of Swanfest, the greatest festival ever held in an Ipswich pub.

Antigen Internet Radio - Episode #25 - Kakistocracy

Jason takes a deep dive into the Westminster cesspit to fish for cheap laughs in a quagmire of ministerial depravity.

Hide the gin, lock up your tractors and whatever you do, don’t uncross your legs, as the Antigen Internet Radio show heads to Westminster for a Bacchanalian orgy of sex, drugs and rock and roll.

Pole dancers, porn, cocaine or confused underage boys? Jason shares party tips for entertaining your local MP.

And, as Red Wall Conservatives are forced to choose between eating, heating and being racist, he counts the cost of Priti Patel’s new people-trafficking initiative.

Antigen Internet Radio - Episode #21 - Poking a Bear

Was Ukraine asking for it, by flirting with NATO, like a filthy slut? Jason wonders why the hard right rejects the #MeToo metanarrative of Russian aggression. Are they confused over their sexual feelings towards Vladimir Putin? Perhaps Nigel Farage can help – he tells us what he won’t do for love.

And we examine the UK government’s response to the crisis, praising Priti Patel for saving Ukrainians from a life under an authoritarian regime. Find out the easiest way to tell a good oligarch from a bad oligarch. And discover how we can turn a humanitarian disaster into an opportunity to solve the UK’s post-Brexit pig overpopulation problem.

It’s whine time ALL the time at Antigen Internet Radio, as Jason breaks out the Blue Nun to celebrate one year without being sacked from Ship Full of Bombs. Join him for a party mix packed with political poison and carelessly curated music from around the globe.

Expose your ears to the electronic sounds emanating from Kampala, with music from the Ugandan underground. Marvel at petri-dish culture minister Nadine Dorries, as she pushes eating an ostrich anus for cash further down the list of her top 10 most embarrassing TV moments.

Antigen Internet Radio - Episode #19 - So Last Year

Pantomime season may be over, but the low-brow levity continues, as Jason jeers from the cheap seats at a year packed with political slapstick. He mourns the loss of the show's most reliable content providers, bidding adieu to statue-loving Robert Jenrick, exams fiasco mastermind Gavin Williamson and cash-for-gropes health spiv Matt Hancock.

We find out what life is like for Red Wall Conservative voters in the freezing North, who rejected heating and eating, in favour of fart-in-a-jar promises from the clown prince of Brexit. We puzzle over the Tory party threat index, which identifies wokeness as more of a danger than hunger, hypothermia and hospital waiting lists.

And what exactly will Boris Johnson do when the party is over? We look at the transferrable skills he could bring to a new job.

Antigen Internet Radio - Episode #8 - 2020: Eat, Shit & Die

Jason is attention seeking with COVID, so there’ll be no new show tonight. Instead, he has dug out an old episode from December 2020, when the show languished as a podcast in the Mixcloud ghetto. Will anyone notice?

In CE 100, Juvenal wrote that all a government needs to do to retain power is to satisfy the public’s need for circuses and bread. Here in the UK, we took this literally and elected a pie-in-the-face clown who entered the ring with his pants around his ankles. While over 2000 food banks provided the bread, to starving families on Universal Credit

Yes, it is time to feast your ears on the gastronomic delights of the antigen internet radio end-of-year review show, as your host Jason recounts the many highlights of 2020, in a sarcastic voice.

From famine relief in Watford to food fun with Matt Hancock's guide to Filipino cuisine. Find out what's on the Christmas menu for Michael Gove, Tom Hunt and Priti Patel.

And we discover the sinister reason Jacob Rees-Mogg is leading the fight against childhood obesity.

Antigen Internet Radio - Episode #18 - The Blue Pillar

Hide the Ship Full of Bombs swear jar*, Jason goes curse-word crazy as he contemplates the belief-forming mechanisms of the Conservative voter. The 37% of people so impressed with the government's handling of Brexit and the pandemic, they would vote for another five years of Bullingdon Boy buffoonery.

He shares his top tips for navigating the hazardous reality of post-Brexit Britain. And asks the questions we’ve all been asking ourselves over the last two years: Are these the bright sunlit uplands? Or am I standing ankle-deep in shit waving a tiny flag? How can I tell if this old man made of cake? Am I a brain in a vat?

It's time to hold your nose and prepare to dive head first into the sewer of sleaze, for episode #18 of the antigen internet radio show.

* At £1 a swear, he owes the station £28 after this show.
