From Ancient Rome to modern day Pizza Express, greed has always been a cornerstone of human society. Walk with us through the ages and have a look at greed through a political, sociological, historical and psychological lense. Join us in criticising and fantasising about wealth. Trigger warning for any Tories listening.

EPISODE 4 - HALLOWEEN
After a break that entailed a shiny new job, even shinier ring and a poll - Mock The Bleak returns (at your request) to have some fun at the expense of Halloween.

EPISODE 3 - TRANSPHOBIA (probably part 1 of many)
Kitty & Dom are back to discuss Transphobia with particular attention to TERFs and other such nasties.
With this in mind, we do belief this will be a two-parter (at least) but we wanted to cover aspects that as cis-people we could comment on until we can hopefully be joined by one of our trans* pals who can shed more (and better) insight.
As always we are here to educate, not offend (unless you’re a TERF) and we also realise the multifaceted nature of this issue and do not feel that we have covered all bases in this episode.
