Happy birthday Bob! With Jack and Yair joined by our boy Emmett Cruddas @roof_access, of the band Phil Graves and the Film Graze podcast, we review Bob Dylan's 2003 foray into motion pictures, the Larry Charles (Borat, Bill Maher's Religulous)-directed Masked and Anonymous. This episode was actually recorded precisely a year ago today, on Bob's 79th birthday, but after some delays in the production we decided to hold off til now. Let's hope we're doing another one of these in another 80 years!

Farages Fucked Face @soldierpaypig returns to the show for our worst election coverage yet. TV debates ("Starmer dropped the ball"). Scurrilous gutter press gossip. Highly targeted character assassinations. It's all here and it's all a fucking mess. This extract deals with two of the most influential Labour psychos of recent years: Luke Akehurst and Mike Katz.

PREVIEW: Episode 294 - Redacted (ft. Farages Fucked Face)

In light of news that Labour plan to put shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves at the centre of their general election campaign, we are re-releasing this choice half-hour from an episode last year (RP271: Shoe Factory), in which we conclude a run-through Keir Starmer's then-new ultra-Blairite shadow cabinet with nods to key Reeves allies Pat McFadden and sister Ellie Reeves, before reading a truly weird Guardian profile of Rachel by Simon Hattenstone, which she insists be conducted at a shoe factory her grandparents did not work at.

In a shock intervention in the 2024 UK general election, Jack (@FrayneJack34043) and Geraint (@wariotifo) are joined by Reel Politik herself, Juliet Jacques (@ZinovievLetter) to call for the resignation of Sir Keir Starmer as Leader of the Labour Party.

Another major figure from RP history, Sinan Kose (twitch.com/SKTheCrusader) joins Jack, Yair and Geraint to talk all things UK general election. In addition to Starmer's pledge to destroy the world with a nuclear bomb, and Farage's effective endorsement of Starmer, we introduce new RP segment "QUIZ THE YANK", in which America-residing traitor Y.S. Rice's knowledge of the arcane and British is put to the test. Plus some of our regular faves including White Mike Rapaport, Luke "the Nuke" Akehurst, and Paul"s and Shaft" Mason.
