Ben Baker hosts a retrospective look back at one of his biggest loves and influences: Viz, the adult comic founded by teenage cartoonist Chris Donald which has made people laugh, guffaw, chuckle, snort and wheeze with its mixture of comic strips, newspaper spoofs, rude words, bottoms, bollocks and general buggering about since issue one, sold as The Bumper Monster Christmas Special, first appeared at a gig in the Gosforth Hotel pub on the 10th December 1979.
Musician and podcaster Paul Abbott joins him to discuss that first issue and where it sits in the UK's comic history, reflecting as it has over four decades of fads, trends and Macc Lads revival tours. Although mostly they're just going to laugh a lot at rude words. Enjoy.
WARNING: Contains very bad language....though you'd be sad if it didn't.

NEW PODCAST! Ben Baker's Christmas Box
Welcome to Ben Baker's Christmas Box, a seasonally swanky trip through television's present-wrapped past. In each short episode of my new series I talk to a guest about something that represents the Christmas period to them and today I'm joined by musician, podcaster and composer of my amazing new theme tune Paul Abbott who has brought to the turkey-stained table "Peace On Earth", a 1939 Christmas cartoon all about the very least festive subject imaginable. He's here to expunge some childhood terrors and pass them onto us...Merry Deathmas!

Ketchup and Rings (May 18th)
Do you want to listen to a podcast about rotten Draculas, strange handprints, Pope swapping, TV monkey homing, New Zealand's unusual chart toppers, the art of Star Trek Captain naming and Tom Mix's horse Tony among things? Well, this was indeed the series for you!
Sadly this is the final regular episode of "Don't Lets Chart". We've really enjoyed our two and a half years of creating silly list trivia but we both feel we've done as much as we can under the current name. We will return with something different soon but for now its goodbye and a huge thank you for listening to our daft series.
Love and Robots,
Ben and Phil
