We’re back. No, it’s not a mirage. Oli and Arthur are back in your ears and less able to follow their own trails of thought than ever! In this episode, we discuss environmental issues, political turmoil, inter-generational conflict, mental health, and eggs. Obviously. Want to hear more? Then listen. It’s a podcast, duh. https://anxiousandinsecure.f…

In the first episode of Pride Month(s) – we’re taking 2 months because we sort of can and also we just want to – we’re not at all shocked that Trump is refusing to acknowledge it. However, we’re pleasantly surprised that Roseanne’s racist tweets had such a major negative impact on her career. Meanwhile, in the UK, there appears to be some sort of I…

We’re back with another special guest! This week, we’re talking about the policing crisis in the UK, featuring some iffy gun opinions and American Logic. We’ve also just had Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK, so we stopped in for an update on everyone’s health (spoiler alert: it’s bad). Over in the US of A, Hawaii is exploding. But more import…

This week, we’re talking about the Royal Baby (because who isn’t?) and the Windrush Scandal (because more people should). Meanwhile, maybe Kanye should stop talking so much, and Facebook is taking on dating. Good thing they have all our data already, right? All this, and more! Including things you didn’t want to know about us, but we’re telling you…

This week we all try to wrestle with our abandonment issues as Arthur leaves us again and Ollie steps in. In the UK, there will be no politicians at the royal wedding, but that’s probably because they’re all busy being antisemitic all the time. These two stories may not actually be linked. Across the pond, Paul Ryan is bowing out of Congress at the…

This week we start off light-hearted with an in-depth discussion of gun violence, the Black Lives Matter movement, and how systemic racism still reigns in the USA. Then we take a trip back to primary school, or elementary for some, and revisit lessons about sharing and being nice that some people haven’t quite hung onto as grown-ups. In the UK, we …

This week we have an extra special episode that we definitely did on purpose and totally wasn’t a last-minute accident! Okay, so we had some technical difficulties that rendered half our original episode worthless. But on the plus side, y’all now get to experience a full episode of UK vs USA culture clash debate. Giving you some insight into how mu…

It’s our super-special, unsurprisingly-late, International Women’s Day episode! Is it bigger than Christmas? We say so. We have some fun news stories for you, like assassination attempts and alligators in public, but we also talk a lot about lady rights. So prepare yourselves for that. IWD has been big this year (yay!), and a whole bunch of brands …

This week, Arthur makes a “triumphant” return, just in time to watch the Brits absolutely lose their shit over the weather. The UK has been ravaged by not one but two major storms this week, crippling all infrastructure and causing actual death. But most importantly, there was frozen poop in the street. Have you ever wanted to hear a couple of 20-s…

This week, Arthur buggers off and ditches us all. So Oli and Ollie have to interact and things get messy. Okay, not that messy. At least they’re a more cohesive team than the UK government, who took a special retreat to Chequers so they could discuss how badly they’re messing up Brexit. There’s also talk of the biggest crisis in the UK – the KFC ch…

In a pretty devastating week, we’re bringing you good news! Just kidding, everything is terrible all the time. Another sex scandal rocks the UK, this time involving Oxfam, because even charities are full of bad people sometimes. Meanwhile, a campaigner goes full 3 Billboards to remind everyone that Grenfell Tower is still without any sort of justic…

This week, Trump insults the struggling NHS because American healthcare is so flawless they can get away with it. The UK celebrates 100 years since the first little batch of women were allowed to vote, and Arthur will not stop singing at every opportunity. Meanwhile, we express a clear and unsurprising preference in the Superbowl (it’s that we pref…

This week’s top story (apparently) is CHER featuring in Mamma Mia 2. On a less happy note, a convicted paedophile who happened to be on a TV show for a while commits suicide before a ruling can be handed down. By the way, did you know there are still Blockbusters? Well, not in Texas as of now! Here in the UK, we’re PM-less for a bit while Theresa M…

In which Oli croaks and mumbles throughout, Arthur believes another obvious lie, and Ollie suffers totally unwarranted character assassination. We also do some real news discussions, at some point. In the UK, we talk about the (probably unwise) release of convicted rapist John Worboys, and come to the conclusion that having fewer sex attackers on t…

This week we address two very different but still both important cases of sexually predatory behaviour – Aziz Ansari and Larry Nassar. Then, we hear about a sorority girl who said some racist things. Nobody is surprised by it. In the UK, we explain the Carillion downfall and how capitalism is gross and ruined. Guess they won’t be building that gian…

This week we make a concerted effort to stay unbiased when talking about our national leaders. We fail. In the UK, we’re talking about the most anticlimactic reshuffle in living memory, and the knees that hold up the nation. Across the pond, youths are eating laundry pods and playing with dangerous zoo animals, so Natural Selection isn’t quite dead…

This week, featuring another special guest, we’re talking a whole lot about climate change, which is totally real and believed in by everyone (unless you’re the sort of person who listens to Trump. But then, why are you listening to this?). We address Logan Paul’s, to put it lightly, bad behaviour and the toxic tourism of travelling for likes. In t…

It’s a 2017 roundup! Trump’s still here, everyone’s a sexual predator, Brexit’s a mess, May is hanging on. With Arthur absent, Producer Extraordinaire Ollie fills in (and brings guests) and Oli struggles to stay even a little bit calm about anything. Listen now: https://anxiousandinsecure.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/episode-8-bitcheroonies.mp3…

This week, we get sexy. Actually, no, it’s just more sexual offence scandals. We’re talking Met Police and tourists (spoiler: we hate them), then we try to talk about Damien Green but end up just talking about porn for longer than made the final cut. In the USA, we chat war (their favourite) and veterans (less favourite), and also the only nice bit…

Welcome to episode 6, where we completely give up on sticking to the point! This week, we (try to) talk about Harvey Weinstein and Trump’s Jerusalem recognition. Then, Arthur teaches everyone that murder is – wait for it – bad, and our attempt at discussing Brexit very quickly becomes a conversation about the pill and contraception controversy. Fin…

It’s episode 5! After a short Thanksgiving break, we’re back with our usual looks at Brexit, Trump, and someone shooting people in the USA. Plus universities, schools, the Royal Engagement (of course) and much much more. And don’t worry, there is definitely more attempted English accent… Listen now: https://anxiousandinsecure.files.wordpress.com/20…

Episode 1 is live!! We are so excited to share this with you, and we’d love to hear your thoughts. In this episode, we discuss United Airlines, London pollution, tea controversy, and drinking games. We also learn that some presenters haven’t exactly got a knack for accents. Listen now: https://anxiousandinsecure.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/episode-…
