"Roll over, Mr. Pancake!" (SERIES 1, EPISODE 5)
Here we go…the very long overdue Episode 5 of Series 1! The lads discuss one of the most bizarre arrest videos out there on YouTube (shoutout to the amazing EWU Bodycam YouTube Channel), Lou’s trip to Lytham, and Lou’s burgeoning cult ‘Beckettology’ takes on a new life as we break down the potential tricks he could use to draw-in the masses in ‘The Gospel According To Lou’. Also, Sinead O’Connor is inducted by Paddy into ‘The Bald of Fame’ while Lou sits there and sulks. As ever, email your ‘Hate The Show’ messages to nevermindthebaldness@gmail.com.

A Lesson in 'Louis Love' (SERIES 1, EPISODE 4: PART 2)
Series 1, Episode 4, Part 2 This one gets ridiculous quite quickly… After inducting Kojak into the 'Bald of Fame' in Part 1, ‘The Gospel According to Lou’ really ramps up a gear with the lads discussing other tyrants and cult leaders who could inspire Beckettology (with a few of North Manchester’s finest elaborating on the genius of the man) and the ‘When In Rome’ trip to Tiraspol (Transnistria/Moldova) pushes the boundaries of unintentional homoeroticism and violent civil conflict.

“KOJAK WOULD BEAT THE SH*T OUT OF COLUMBO!” (Part 1)
Another 2-parter (aren’t you so freakin’ lucky?!!), this being Series 1 - Episode 4, Part 1. We witness the opening of ‘The Bald of Fame’ with Lou inducting our first shiny-headed hero, Lou disappoints Paddy with a questionable ‘Guantanamo Bay Beats’ selection and they discuss bizarre musician Tiny Tim’s role in a deadly fire in Australia… As ever, email your ‘Hate The Show’ messages to nevermindthebaldness@gmail.com. SHARE THE PODCAST TOO! PART 2 OF THIS EPISODE RELEASE (featuring the rest of ‘The Gospel According To Lou’ and the ‘When In Rome’ trip to Tiraspol): Tuesday 28th October 2025.
