May 12, 202345 minSeason 2Ep. 12

Flies

Introducing the all new ark spin-off show, Films We Haven't Watched. Talking about movies we couldn't be arsed to see.

Tigers

This week, Joe's being haunted and Elliot's high as a kite. But it's Tony the trouser-ripping tiger in the spotlight. You know that dude's over 70 years old and still creeping into kiddies' homes on cereal packets; definitely not giving off any paedophile vibes. 3, 2, 1, clap. Bye! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Apr 21, 202350 minSeason 2Ep. 9

Owls

Joe thinks owls are dead boring. Elliot spent a month in France saving their asses. But whoever said fight for what you believe in didn't while away his finite time before the grave recording drunken ramblings about space arks and raining cats. That's a fact. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Apr 14, 202350 minSeason 2Ep. 8

Moths

They're the mortal enemy of sharks, bees, elephants, Godzilla and Elliot. But special guest Leanna's determined to get them a space on the moth-ership. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Apr 07, 202355 minSeason 2Ep. 7

Jellyfish

They don't have eyes, ears, noses, brains, hearts or anuses. What do they have? A Welshman who self-identifies as a kettle to defend them. Good luck jellyfish. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mar 31, 202337 minSeason 2Ep. 6

Sloths

In this 10-year-old's wet dream of an episode, we talk about poo smells, sex screams and sliding down poles. You know, the usual Tuesday evening deal. Joe reveals intimate insights about his bowel movements. You don't wanna know. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mar 24, 202338 minSeason 2Ep. 5

Snails

Snails. They're like slugs with houses. Or seahorses after 15 minutes in the blender. Or sloths if you're Joe. So come ye come ye and hear us two spineless suckers moping about dishing the dirt on these garden heroes. With all the energy of a snail. Seriously. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mar 17, 202343 minSeason 2Ep. 4

Tardigrades

This episode: tardigrades, the tiny little indestructible micro-bears with eight legs and a vacuum cleaner bag body. Why tardigrades? You asked for them. Nerd. Now see these superpowered microbes torn to shreds before your very eyes. Except it's a podcast so you won't actually see anything. Just imagine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mar 10, 202335 minSeason 2Ep. 3

Sharks

You asked, we answered! Rattling off your audience requests to kick off TNA series 2, we're taking sharks to town. Which sharks can walk? Which die if they stop swimming? What idiot would put them on board an itty bitty space ship they're flying? That last one's Joe by the way. But please, please listen anyway :) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mar 03, 202343 minSeason 2Ep. 2

Rhinos

Earth hasn't exploded (yet) so we're back! Well... Elliot is. Saf got eaten by fungi and in his place it's Welshman Joe being overly nice to bastard animals. First on the chopping block: rhinos. [Boo hiss!] In this ep, Elliot tries to break Joe and almost succeeds, extracting the choice phrase: "Life is shit." Fun times! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Feb 24, 202354 minSeason 2Ep. 1

Frofunsnak

The royal rumble rematch: closing out The New Ark series 1 in style with a three-way showdown between frogs, snakes and fungi. Can we break the podcast by letting a non-animal on board? Yes we can!! Our first 'happy' ending for the show and plenty of pizza-based discussion. Series 2 coming this September to a device near you! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jun 07, 202255 minSeason 1Ep. 30

Jaguars

Is Black Panther any good? What the f*** is a panther anyways? In the series' penultimate episode, we take a jackhammer to jaguars' reputation and reveal why God mucked up with camouflage. Do jaguars deserve a spot on the ark? Head to @newarkhives to leave your vote... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

May 31, 202248 minSeason 1Ep. 29

Meerkats

Saf's chance to take his revenge on cats being left for the coming apocalypse. Elliot's chance to rant about annoying ads and murderous nymphomaniacs.

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

May 24, 202242 minSeason 1Ep. 28

Earthworms

This episode, Darwin and God team up to help worms worm their way on board. Elliot resorts to Star Wars' giant sandworms and the Mongolian death worm. And we discover the miracle of the transient anus. Head to @newarkhives afterwards to vote whether earthworms deserve a ticket to Earth 2.0. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

May 17, 202253 minSeason 1Ep. 27

Chameleons

This episode: a starfish of chameleons in an aquarium. Also Saf misspells chameleon. Elliot plays the race card and reveals God's OG rules for animals on the ark. No longer will chameleons blend in and escape keen eyes- now they're out, exposed in the spot light, all their crimes laid bare for judgement. Do they deserve to make it on the ark? You decide. Cast your votes @newarkhives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

May 10, 202251 minSeason 1Ep. 26

Bears

So they killed 26 little children in the Bible, but never mind- bears are great, right? Then again, how did Goldilocks die? And what's up with the sloth bear ripping out peoples faces whilst they're still alive? Are bears hairy Chewbacca jedis or will they join the dark side? Head to @newarkhives afterwards to cast your vote on if bears get the golden ticket to Earth 2.0 or if farcical fire and brimstone better suits their crimes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

May 03, 202252 minSeason 1Ep. 25

Bees

In this un-bee-lievably bee-eautiful episode, the honey-tongued Saf defends bees against Elliot's lambasts. Inventors of democracy or imperialist autocracy? Hive mind or mindless bombing suicides? And what kind of bee makes hallucinogenic rainbow honey? All this and more- head to @newarkhives afterwards to cast your vote on if bees merit a spot on our space cruise. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Apr 26, 202258 minSeason 1Ep. 24

Wolves

How do you catch a wolf with one hand down its throat? Listen in to find out. Fairy tale villains or misunderstood cretins- all will be revealed as Elliot and Saf sink their teeth into the gritty business of wolves. And supervolcanoes. Because why not? Head to @newarkhives afterwards to vote on whether wolves deserve a place on the all new and improved ark. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Apr 19, 202251 minSeason 1Ep. 23

Fungi

Saf's been eaten by fungi and now they're here to claim their mouldy old spot on the ark. They're not even animals but hey- who cares? They're serial killers anyway, so it take a very stupid person to get on their bad side. Like Elliot. Special guest Marika Bell wisely defends them. Head to @newarkhives afterwards to cast your vote: fungi friends or foes? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Apr 12, 202242 minSeason 1Ep. 22

Bats

They rhyme with cats, which is always a bad omen, but will bats make it on the ark? Only time will tell. And a rant or two from Elliot along the usual lines- bats being responsible for both COVID and World War 3, of course. Listen closely then head to @newarkhives to vote if bats get that golden ticket to a new world... or not. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Apr 05, 202252 minSeason 1Ep. 21

Raccoons

Raccoons are obese good-for-nothing big black-and-white rats. Or are they? In this marvellous episode, Elliot fails abysmally to find a more popular Marvel film than Guardians of the Galaxy and we discuss whether raccoons can really talk- very, very, briefly. Head to @newarkhives after listening to vote on whether these critters deserve a spot on the ark. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mar 29, 202258 minSeason 1Ep. 20

Anglerfish

Anglerfish: dope or deep sea shit? Rapists or celibate saints? Slave drivers or shining beacons of hope? In the first and only episode of The New Ark not to reference Jurassic Park, we dive into the angry devils that are anglerfish and Saf almost drowns. Do they deserve a spot on the ark? Leave your vote @newarkhives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
