It's the difficult second episode of Bazookaaah. It's kicking off in Georgia, Syria and of course there's no harmony with the outgoing governments of France and the USA. Greece are getting their camp clothes in a twist about their Elgin marbles not being sent back so they're in a strop and of course so are middle class celebrities of a 'certain age' due to a greengrocer allegedly behaving like a child. 20 minutes of trying to make jokes out of all of it from Gavin Webster Get in touch with Bazookaaah by passing stories or funny news pieces or even personal anecdotes to gav@bazookaaah.co.uk | |||

Yes it's the lucky 7th episode. Back to the humdrum and slow news or so we thought then this whole Elon Musk squabble started and the main lampooning comes from the chaos created by that story. Also Scottish news and Anglican church lampooning. You can't beat a bit of January blues lifting Bazookaaah!

Trump, Streeting, Burns Night, The Sunday Mirror deputy political journalist, they're generally top of the charts on this one. Obviously the Farage family get a mention and Badenoch gets a shout as well as the characters involved in the nasal government. To be fair, the nasal chancery chancer and king of the NasalsI'm not making it clear Keir gets off from the Bazookaaah treatment this week, mainly due to his growing irrelevance.

The Australian leader of the opposition, the great European deal and reaction to it, the deals that Trump is doing worldwide and of course reaction to the people trafficker that made a load of money from shipping asylum seekers across the Mediterranean.

Chaos at the end of the week Not to mention defence spending, the expanding of the light railways and trams and of course Thames Water being in the shit...no pun intended. It's all here. Do tune in!!

| Bazookaaah Number 24 | 13 Jun 2025 | 00:24:15 | |
Yes we're up to 24! This is the best one yet in my own humble opinion. Assisted dying gets the Baz treatment and it's a bit of riot special for most of the show, Northern Ireland and of course LA where the police think it's all fair in love and war to shoot Australian journalists in the leg. Do please enjoy!! Get in touch with Bazookaaah by passing stories or funny news pieces or even personal anecdotes to gav@bazookaaah.co.uk | |||

Our 25th show, Spanish tourism demonstrations and would you believe it 'touristaphobia'. Finally white middle class can feel like they're a victim. Closer to home ironically enough the Pakistani sex abuse scandal or as the BBC would say the Asian sex abuse scandal or as GB News would say the Pakistani Rape Trails get a Bazookering, also Kate Foxcroft resigning the whip and of course we get into the whole uranium enrichment taking place in rural Iran or not as the case may be. The IAEI, the International Atomic Energy Agency or the Iiiiaaaeeeiiii as I like to call it have made several statements that are at odds with the golf playing, tweet addict Orange satsuma that runs America. No other topical satircal pod has this range!! We also don't shy away from the assisted dying bill and the Liverpool Care Pathway that used to take place, we also surmise what 30p Lee might think about it. It's all here and we're hoping to go twice a week very soon!! Get in touch with Bazookaaah by passing stories or funny news pieces or even personal anecdotes to gav@bazookaaah.co.uk | |||
| Bazookaaah Number 26 | 27 Jun 2025 | 00:23:43 | |
Alex Brummer, no that's not a typo gets a kicking, by the way he's a Daily Mail expert which sounds like a contradiction in terms. Apparently Red Rayner, that's Angels Rayner according the everyone in this country, well according to Why Don't You Mail On Sunday reporters Glen and Calum, apparently we're 'sleepwalking into recession' and Rayner is 'taking a wrecking ball to the economy', it's like Daily Mail union bashing bingo. Conservative shadow minister Andrew Griffith joins in with the stereotyping, yes the Tories are desperate for a hit single and it all gets the Bazookaaah treatment Trump doesn't escape the North Tyneside box room satire with his three 'direct hits' into the living rooms of the uranium enrichment plants and Liz Kendall is lampooned too.

Yes 27 the year of course that Hendrix, Cobain, Joplin, Jones, Morrison and Winehouse got to before they checked out. We're here to stay though and we've got a new guest character, Big Lev who is a soldier based in the Ukraine, but Reeves and Starmer get it and we've got a take on Sultana leaving the Labour Bin Fire. Of course we've got some stuff on the whole Bob Vylan affair at Glastonbury the silly overreaction. Lots of gems in there. Listen in!

One in one out for channel crossers, Macron and Starmer and their 'plan', Brexit once again, Trump of course and his Liberian investment. Rayner and the head of Birmingham City Council get the Bazookaaah treatment and the hosepipe ban is very much covered alongside a host of other things. Get in there and listen to it!

We're back with polluted water satire care of Thames, Southern and Yorkshire, Grant Schapps or whatever his name is this week and his secret deal with Afghans and the special forces, the voting age being lowered, Dianne Abbott's 'racism' and of course there's the latest Epstein shenanigans. Plenty of jokes in there and lots of attitude. All from our box room in North Tyneside.

Here we are, Scottish news heavy, Mail on Sunday award winners, Zarah Sultana and the man we dare not mention's new party. Crap trouser suit Reeves gets the Bazookaaah treatment, the Palestine lobby, John Swinney and that strange bloke Iain Dale who interviews his friends with cosy interviews. Tune in tell your friends.

| Bazookaaah Number 31 | 21 Aug 2025 | 00:25:05 | |
Trump and his trips to the island, Alaska talks, Oasis, Summerhall at the Edinburgh fringe and the Kate Forbes row, free speech, Reeves and her alleged hike in taxes that she's allegedly thinking about. It's all here. I'm still at the fringe and between the Britpop invasion of middle aged men to the onslaught of the pensioner rockers and sharpies in town to see AC/DC. Another ranted Bazookaaah classic. Get in touch with Bazookaaah by passing stories or funny news pieces or even personal anecdotes to gav@bazookaaah.co.uk | |||
| Bazookaaah Number 32 | 29 Aug 2025 | 00:26:04 | |
Back home and Bazookaah is back!! It wouldn't be Bazookaaah without Trump and his 'great idea' to deploy the national guard to clamp down on illegals in Washington DC. Farage get's the Bazoinks treatment due to his hypocrisy over conflicting comments regarding the House Of Lords. We've got Scottish news and Colin Smyth's toilet antics. Peter Hebblethwaite gets a Bazookaaah send off after he quite as the CEO of P&O ferries, however the big news is the red crosses on the mini roundabouts that's a phenomena sweeping the nation at the moment.

| Bazookaaah Number 34 | 11 Sep 2025 | 00:24:18 | |
Number 34 and it's the Labour deputy post that has overweight northern women all over it. Even ones that Keir sacked last week. To be fair the woman from Reform who burst into song last week isn't from the north however the 1 minute clip of the song she composed herself is a minute I won't ever get back. Of course Mandelson gets the Bazookaaah treatment as does the Christian right in America after the Utah shooting. We have a special guest this month as well. Robin Ince is my first ever talking guest as I interview him in the mezzanine of Newcastle Stand Comedy Club. Another good one!!

| Bazookaaah Number 33 | 04 Sep 2025 | 00:23:44 | |
Yes we're at number 33! Jesus's age when he shuffled off this mortal coil despite being immortal, it's the speed of the long playing record that made prog rock so boring and it's the correct amount of tax in the pound to have a proper society that isn't fucked. Anyway Tice, Farage and of course Nottingham's Reform council get bazzokered as does Graham Linehan and JK Rowling, but don't get your knickers in a twist, Yvette Cooper gets a bazookering as does the working class landowner Angela Whiner, sorry Raynor. We're rocking along and I'm sure we'll go to two a week in October. Get in touch with Bazookaaah by passing stories or funny news pieces or even personal anecdotes to gav@bazookaaah.co.uk | |||
| Bazookaaah Number 35 | 19 Sep 2025 | 00:24:07 | |
Number 35 and of course after a quiet couple of weeks we had to get stuck into Trump and of course his trip to the banquet. Of course there was his usual denial of all this island stuff whatever that is, then the dressing down of the Australian journalist for....asking him a question however the biggest Trumpy meltdown was due to Jimmy Kimmel being cancelled because of woke and this lefty suppression of free speech, oh hang on a minute. Starmer gets a bit of a bazookering as do the marchers at the weekend which is a brave thing to do because there was 3 million you know, definitely 3 million, there was a drone up in the air showing the what looked like just over 100,000 people on the streets but it was definitely 3 million.

| Bazookaaah Number 36 | 24 Sep 2025 | 00:25:01 | |
Trump! Talking at a funeral but using it to announce new government proposals and yes we're talking about taking mild painkillers and it's link to autism even though the time frames don't tally up. Doesn't matter to Trumpy though. Wes Streeting our esteemed health minister who once....no of course he didn't gets the Bazookering treatment and his strategic distancing himself from the president of the USA just like he distanced himself from Corbyn when his colleagues were sticking the knife into him. A terrific interview with TikTok Sweary Scottish News star John Scott takes place in two parts where we bring up Dick Cheney, Mick Lynch and of course the enigma Farage. Also I explain how I, like Donald Trump have stopped Seven wars and we both haven't had enough credit for it. Enjoy!

Labour conference special. Yes I'm there!! Starmer's speech, Yvette Cooper's speech and all the other speeches that supposedly took place. Obviously the world still turns round so there's obligatory Trump stuff and various other odds and sods but it's full on conference this week. I hope you enjoy it.

Party conference season and we've got 2 for 1 this week. The Greens were somewhere Green last week and Zack Polanski, the head of the Greens that sounds a bit cockney rhyming slang was giving it big licks in a Marxist old fashioned industrial style talking about chains and stuff, mind you it's very different to the executive attitude of the Unite The Colours movement that had their patriotic bucket hats made in Bangladesh. Yes we covered the Tories as well, Robert Jenrick who is great value got the Bazookaaah treatment as well as Chris Philp (a speech defect sufferer's nightmare) and their insistence to outlaw Sharia Law, it'll be awful to break it to them that it's already outlawed. Gary Neville and the backlash brigade get Bazookered as well, this includes people like Jeremy Kyle, who's fleeced the underclass so much he might as well own Wetherspoons.

Chris Philp!!!! I can't say any more. Yes his 'stand up comedy' at the Conservative Party Conference was audio to behold. The rest of the conference was part comedy, part cringe and almost a feeling that I didn't want to gatecrash private grief. Not to be outdone after we covered the ridiculous judges puppet speech by Robert Jenrick last week, he followed this up with his comical stance on the Aston Villa v Maccabi Tel Aviv forthcoming 'European' match. We cover the Scottish National Party conference as well and how they were all squabbling like 'nats in a sack' apparently. Ant Middleton gets his first Bazookering, no doubt my fingernails will be ripped out next week and maybe a waterboarding might put me back in my box. It's our longest Bazookaaah yet, tune in!!!

| Bazookaaah Number 40 | 26 Oct 2025 | 00:23:28 | |
We're 40, and what a 40th!! We imagine Tice as a communist, we have the bombshell about inflation....staying the same, we hammer national treasure and obviously we couldn't go without mentioning the chaotic performance of Reform cheerleader Nadine Dorries on Question Time, yeah...sure...well...no..you may laugh. Sorry but we had to cover the bore fest Labour deputy leadership contest but we cover it in fun detail. There's an oblique reference to the risible orange men, Sadiq Khan and Khan Younis get the Bazoinks treatement as does Blair, JD Vance and even General Armstrong Custer. Tune in and tell your friends and here's to 40 more!! Get in touch with Bazookaaah by passing stories or funny news pieces or even personal anecdotes to gav@bazookaaah.co.uk | |||
