The show’s funny and frivolous and the chaps have a genuinely unique chemistry which will entertain you if you work on the web and even if you don’t.

A possible logo emergency
Andy, Jon, Marcus, and Paul are back for another silly episode. They talk about Paul’s new caravan, Andy’s semi-retirement, and Marcus giving up beer.

Contorted in a Nissan Qashqai
Back after their summer break, the four chaps decide whether each other’s improbable stories are a lie or the truth. Jon talks about his new car, Andy brings up his gout, and neither are at all cross about Paul and Marcus restarting the Boagworld podcast. This episode of One Footer in the Grave is appropriately sponsored by Allopurinol, the gout medication for when your big toe hurts like a b@stard.

Vote for me or the baby gets it
It’s UK General Election time and the chaps have gathered to discuss it, but without mentioning politics. What would their top policies be if they were running for office? What do they think of novelty candidates like Count Binface? Plus, why are political party websites so terrible? Andy tells his story about being in the audience for BBC Question Time and the strange tale of designing for an intergalactic space warrior.

Scarlett Johansson is in the room

Votre saucisse est très plastique
The nerds of a feather are back for another episode. They talk about whether social media is now either dead or useless for promoting our work and whether old-fashioned email is replacing it.

Roasted Chestnuts with the Dreamtime Electric Blanket
The intention was that this would be our Festive episode. We get there eventually, but only once we've finished discussing:
Andy's new Dreamtime Electric Blanket, the sponsor of the show
The new Dr Who - What do think? Were they right to change Davros?
Andy's shock DNA test results means he's not who he thought he was.
Marcus's intense suffering at earning lots of money.
Jon's Festive Sandwich Reviews (https://mastodon.social/deck/tags/FestiveSandwichReviews)
Fact check footnote:
Jon mistakenly pronounces 'Ncuti' as 'Chooty' rather than 'Shooty')
It was Jo Grant (not Sarah Jane) that was in The Green Death, but it wasn't her first story (that was Terror of the Autons)

A thing for Bouvier des Flandres
In this delayed-release episode (recorded in May 2023), the chaps talk about Paul and Andy's joint seven week adventure in Recreation Vehicles around the United States of America earlier in the year. Did they fight or fall out? Or did they get along just fine in a way that doesn't make very entertaining listening? Paul also gets to witness a 'Malarkey Regeneration' first hand!

AI talks to my wife
It’s a new year, the year of artificial things. In this episode, the four chaps talk about artificial intelligence and artificial hips. Andy has a (painful) bone to pick with Paul but all he got in response was an AI-written apology. Finally, the talk Mastodon and why it’s better than Twitter.

Tebbit was a monster
After a fabulous summer of fun, the four fellas are back with an extra-long episode. Even though it’s only October, they talk about Christmas and Andy’s plan to escape to Costa Rica. The chaps discuss which celebrity we’d elect to parliament and which cabinet position we’d want most. Then, they talk about whether ghosts exist or Andy was just drunk. (This episode was recorded before Liz Catasussrophe was beaten by a lettuce.)

Savoy cabbage and the kalettes
It’s a new year and a new episode where the chaps make excuses about why they haven’t recorded recently. They discuss Paul’s impetuous decision, which vegetables can go to hell and why plenty of people we know are leaving freelancing and taking proper jobs.
