CheapShow

The award winning podcast returns for another episode packed with cheap thrills and cheap laughs! This week, Paul and Eli are dipping their toes into the murky waters of “Silverman’s Platters” to review three strange musical charity shop discoveries. There is quite the variety ranging from cheesy Dutch Moog arrangements to soul sapping ballads sung by a soap opera loser! There is even time for a dash of post-punk novelty too. Which will be a “platter” and which will be a “splatter”? Only time will tell. There is also the opportunity to revisit an often neglected segment, “Tales From The Shop Floor” which promises the usual confounding stories with the usual dirty denouement. Whilst it’s the same economy comedy as usual, there is a lot of emotional manipulation at play. Eli is forced into making more than his fair share of apologies and Paul is in full on gaslighting b*stard mode, which can never end well.

ALSO: We launch the pre-orders for the CheapShow Album, celebrating 10 years of the podcast!

Somehow, against all the odds, CheapShow has finally won something! Paul & Eli are in high spirits this week as they celebrate their recent “Golden Lobes” podcast awards win! It was a fantastic moment that was only 10 years in the making. This success probably won’t go to their heads. At all. It’s a bit of a wordy episode this week, as Paul is supplying two books for his “Page Turners” segment. His charity shop discoveries involve one book based on the kids TV show “Bangers & Mash”, and the other is a story puzzle book from the legendary “Usbourne Publishing”. The Cheap Chaps dive into them both to learn more, and if you are lucky, you’ll get some story time action from Eli himself! Finally, Gannon pulls out another “Golden Game” to play. For this edition, he’s brought along an electronic game based on the popular 1980s ITV game show “Name That Tune”. Sadly, as in most episodes, Eli will find a way to ruin the fun. Whether that’s by pretending to be a Scouser or by simply opening his mouth and letting the madness spill out. No matter how dumb or gross this week’s podcast is, remember it won a ruddy award! Unbelievable!

It’s been a month of walkabout adventures, game shows and another character retrospective, so it’s about time that Eli and Paul got back into CheapShow HQ for another 75 minutes of cheap laughs! It’s a “back to basics” episode where Eli gets to have his way with the content, forcing more sauces and snacks into the show than Paul can tolerate. CheapShow gets to sample a new and unusual flavour of Pringles that has a high bar to clear, there is a nice Price of Shite to amuse and bemuse and (because Eli demanded it) the episode closes out with a bumper Sauce Report. It’s taken us a little longer than expected, but we finally have our hands on the “Peperami” sausage brand of hot sauces that demand judgement! It’s a tat packed show with grotty toys, naff books and did someone mention something about gummies?

MONO EDITION

When the sun is shining this brightly in the London sky, Paul and Eli refuse to stay cooped up inside CheapShow HQ… So, they are out and about (yes again!) to go on an aimless wander through another corner of London. This time they’ve decided, for no good reason, to explore Nunhead Cemetery, one of London’s “Magnificent 7” cemeteries. It’s a gothic, spooky, heavily wooded area packed with tombs, crypts, gravestones and unusually named deceased folk. As they stroll about, they’ll aim to be respectful but at some point, Eli will want to get the booze out and Paul will want to get the hell out of the place… And once they reach Peckham Rye Common, things will get a little bit more unhinged. In possibly one of CheapShow’s more directionless walkabout episodes, join the Cheap Chaps on one of the warmest and sunniest days of the year… in a ruddy graveyard!

The sun’s out so Eli and Paul decide to escape CheapShow HQ and head back to Hampstead Heath for another barely acceptable picnic adventure. This time out, they have a reason for roaming around the heath on a wonderfully warm Spring day. Inspired by the accidental discovery of a Geocache box back in Ep 342 (Gannon's Golden Quest The Third), the Cheap Chaps are going to make a full day of it, using a free to use Geocaching phone app to hunt down as many boxes, tubs and bottles as they can before the sun sets. They may be hidden anywhere, so Paul and Eli are going to have to keep their wits about them to find them all. As ever, the lure of cheap picnic snacks, free booze and “extreme” flavoured drinks and candy may derail all their best efforts. In this 2 hour and 35 minute epic episode, join CheapShow has they, once again, find a way to be busy doing nothing!

After two weeks away in America, Eli arrives back in one piece and ready to go with a grab bag of tat and tasty treats to foist upon his co-host. He’s brought with him a few snacks to wrap their tongues around and a special USA flavoured “Price of Shite” … Sorry, “The Cost of Crud”, as Eli would prefer to call it. To make matters more pointless, he decides that points are not “p’twings” this week and instead they are “p’twangs”. Whatever they are, Gannon wants them, and he’s going to try his very best. However, Paul may have gone a bit doolally whilst he had no co-host for a while, so please bear that in mind as he continuously threatens Eli with his “Chobber”. What is this “Chobber” of which he speaks? I mean, it’s obvious, right? But you better listen in just to check.
