On November 7th 2016, Verbal Discharge set out to Make Nottingham Great Again with another live show, this time from the Malt Cross, in Nottingham's city centre. It's our US Election special, from a room near a flooded cave in Nottingham! On this week's show, we have Trump-themed music by our special guest, the Midlands' finest wielder of a ukulele, Edi Johnston ! We then have two hours of tremendous satire, just excellent satire, many people have said that it really is the best satire, it made ...

He's there. Over your shoulder. Lurking. Waiting. Ready to pounce at any moment. You can't see him, but he lives in your shadow. Watch out. These are your last moments. So use them wisely and listen to this week's Verbal Discharge podcast. This week! On the podcast! What happens? This happens: Jordan speculates on Middle Earth fetishes, James analyses a stranger danger video from 1980 and Robbie is in a mystery location. All this, and a decision as to whether or not Stranger Things was any good ...

Welcome to the spookiest podcast of the year, where spooky songs are sung and dead spooky podcast hosts are channeled through living spooky podcast hosts... That's right, folks, it's almost Halloween, so time for us to do a vaguely Halloween-themed episode again! On this week's show, Jordan becomes a spirit medium, James freestyles some Halloween raps, and Robbie writers six new episodes of Black Mirror. It's a podcast that, in thousands of years time, is going to have people still talking, and ...

Earlier this week, we posted a seemingly-innocent poll. It asked which critically-panned sitcom should we try to marathon, and record our slow descent into madness? Well, The Big Bang Theory was the run-away winner, and the descent was anything but slow. Listen in as James, Jordan, Robbie and Ben tear the show atom from atom! Continue listening as they begin to lose their minds and grow to resent everything in the world! Think about hitting pause and never coming back just in case one of them re...

My name is Discharge. Funny name for an English podcast, I know. My hosts to be were on the same plane when it crashed. That's how they met. They named me after the name of the plane. Not many people are named after a plane crash. The plane is a metaphor for our experience recording this week's podcast. When you wish upon a podcast, you get a podcast. Like this week's podcast. This week, we dissect the theme of wishes, of wanting, of hoping, of dreaming. On the show, Ben wishes for superpowers, ...

This week Team Discharge sets out to explore Youth, and the big questions that surround it: What is Youth, where does Youth go, how do you experience Youth, and what happened in the film Youth starring Michael Caine? An entire podcast all about the idea of youth, and how it slips between your fingers. Amongst recounting our yonderdays, James dips into his shallow bag of impressions, Jordan is terrified of a TV, and Robbie steals from a school. What a show your ears have ahead of you......

normal guys normal podcast Oh my good lord, they've let them do another podcast. And look what they've done as a result. Jordan argues the case for biros in the world's most captivatingly dull debate, Robbie tries to write a sequel to Charlie Bit My Finger, and James has some, shall we say, interesting genitals. And far more, obviously. Only a show with far more would generate this week's podcast art.

I am a DJ, I am what I play. Can't turn around now, can't turn around. I am a DJ, I am what I play, and what I play is mostly this week's new Verbal Discharge podcast. After last week's spectacular, bumper-length sold-out live show, did you think we'd rest on our laurels? Yeah, so did we. But, alas, Discharge is back, and with a very special guest to boot. This week, we're joined by Radio One presenter and one of the country's top DJs, Danny Howard, who talks getting started as a DJ, his iTunes ...

Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Verbal Discharge, there lived a little podcast... Looks like a little podcast squeezed out of us, no need to look away, it's a perfectly natural process. This week, Robbie tests us on our Welsh, James becomes a frail old lady and Ben speculates over more celebrity deaths. Well, if that doesn't sound like the best show ever, I don't know what does...

Forewarning: There is no comedy in this week's episode of our comedy podcast, but please don't let that put you off. It's a looser show this week, as Verbal Discharge grapples with the big questions. What is comedy? Can you tire of the widest universe? How big a hack is Ricky Gervais? This week, Ben fails to fix a car, Robbie feels proud of a joke he didn't make, and James should feel ashamed of a joke he did make. Some fun, some food, it's all in this week's Verbal Discharge......

It comes bursting through the door. Discharge. It screams at you. You scream back, but it does no good. The Discharge has no ears. Only a mouth, a screaming comedy mouth. You take a deep breath and settle down. There's only one thing for it: You need to listen... So what's going on this week? We'll tell you what's going on this week. Robbie writes to his one true love, James gets attacked by a kid with a piece of paper, and Ben begins a new career managing a comedy shop. All this and probably mo...

The greatest novelist residing in the living world, Scandinavian genius Jorben Bowen, has written a brand new novella.

Yes, that's right! After generously writing a pilot script for Ducky McDuck , the man who makes people think "This guy is really good at writing" himself, Jorben Bowen, has kindly donated...

Every week, the Verbal Discharge team produces some comedy and some other stuff. Every week, the Verbal Discharge team slaves tirelessly over a new podcast, like a tireless slave. Most weeks, Verbal Discharge has a team of four, working on new content. This is not one of those weeks. This week, we are looking for fresh blood. Do you think you have what it takes to join the Verbal Discharge team? Well if you do, you're too late, because we've already narrowed the field down to five. On this week'...

Discharge returns from hiatus, without actually returning to a studio to record in. We spin back into the podcasting circle live from Markeaton Park, Derby, as we try to catch up on a whirlwind few weeks... We're back, and recording an episode outside! This week, James has something to say about Brexit, Ben almost gets himself arrested by a sunless underling and Robbie joins a hopeless political party.

Hey, nothing went wrong with the recording this week! It's a minor miracle! And just in time for the Euros, the close of voting registration and the 6th anniversary of an average romcom! We're back with relatively little thirst vengeance, as we celebrate the most important week of the year, depending on your priorities. This week, Jordan frets over his porn habits, James debates the EU referendum, Ben shouts over the top of everyone as normal and Robbie recounts Letters to Juliet starring Amanda...

Hello to anyone listening on iTunes! The show is actually called "Milking Dust from a Fox's P****. Fox's P**** is rapper. A very successful rapper, I can't believe you haven't heard of the ol' StarFox before. So, another week, another studio mishap, but another Discharge. We're all crammed around one mic this week, which is why James sounds really far away, but also still the loudest of any of us, because he's James bloody Bosson. This week, Robbie exhibits his Leicester City fandom, James specu...

It's podcast time again, gang! Only yesterday we found ourselves unable to record this week due to the old technical difficulties, so instead we present half an hour of NEVER BEFORE HEARD bits and pieces from the Verbal Discharge archive! This week, only Robbie is really present, but you can also hear Jordan wait for Natalie Bennett, Ben forget how to use a microphone, James speculate on what Mel Gibson's up to. All this and a few more bits and bobs, carefully curated from everything we've ever ...

Live show over and done with, it's back to business as usual with Team Discharge. By which we mean, Ben isn't here and we talk about George Osborne again. It's another podcast for your best friends in the whole world. This week, James has a hellish job interview, Jordan eats an old woman and rides a horse, and Robbie questions Nicholas Cage's sandwich choices. All this and some other nonsense, in a podcast that felt like a bit of a comedown from last week. By which we mean it's really good and y...

So what did we get up to this week? We had a special intro from Derek Acorah! We had a whole audience! On this week's show, Robbie speculates ...

Cheap holiday in other people's misery, I don't wanna holiday in the sun, at not without a really good podcast. Like Verbal Discharge. Maybe not this episode, but certainly an episode. OK. This episode it is. It's our final live show on Phantom Radio, and as such we set out to celebrate our time as we burn any and all bridges in sight. We also, on the live broadcast, played All Star by Smash Mouth eight times, which might explain one of the links. This week, James gets angry about the Karate Kid...

Mysterious. Adjective. From French mystérieux . (1). difficult or impossible to understand, explain, or identify. (2). (of a person) deliberately enigmatic. (3). this episode of Verbal Discharge. This week, Verbal Discharge launches head-first into the world of mystery. All four members tell the tale of the most (Or not, in Ben's case) mysterious, spooky thing that ever happened to them. We solve the cases of Flight MH370 and Madeline McCann. We troll the World of Warcraft subreddit. All in a da...

"I haven't missed it!" you exclaim, and head hurriedly to your iPod. There's a new episode of Verbal Discharge to download... And what do we have to take your mind off the dead kid on your driveway?

You have lived a good life, a full life, a sin-free life. You state your case to the creator, and he looks back upon you. And he speaks, in the most broad and wonderful voice, he speaks. "You have lead a model life," he says. You clench a fist in semi-celebration. "But you did not listen to Episode #44 of Verbal Discharge." And without so much as an...

"Darling!" your mother shouts "Your friends are here!". You rush to the door. It's those Discharge boys again. "Hey man," says the eldest one, with no respect for the grammatical laws of speech "You wanna come out for another podcast?". Your mother turns and looks at you disapprovingly. She doesn't want you to go, but she knows you're a big boy now. She wants to let you make your own decision. You take one look at your mother and, as the guilt trickles into your mind, you bound out the door, and...
