A Show Called Hate

Hoo boy! Are you ready for the hot new novelty game show that's sweeping the nation? It's 482 degrees centigrade in the studio and we're pretty damn certain we are. Either that, or the heat exhaustion is setting in. For the hates this week: fake Labradors, Big Break and jigsaws. For the loves: Keanu Reeves, disconnecting and racing games. Got a love or hate you'd like to share with us? Get in touc...

What could be a greater listening experience that hearing three men chow down on artisanal cured meat in a hot room? It's a salty summer foodfest, folks, and we're bringing the thunder. In the hate corner this episode: taxidermy, Antiques Roadshow and Heston Blumenthal. For the loves: erotic dragon fantasy, prosciutto and Tenable, the hot new game show that's sweeping the land! Got a love or hate...

Well, it's official. Jon's a bad person. He just doesn't get this 'Les Miserables' business, and deserves to be hated for it. Maybe it's the sinister media mogul Big Lez Miz who's turned him off this beloved franchise, who knows? Also on the docket: movie taglines (who needs 'em?) and captcha (what am I, a robot!?) Got a love or hate you'd like to share with us? Get in touch at ashowcalledhate@big...

With Rayman absent and in absolutely no way phoning it in, it's down to Nich and Jon to set the world to rights, starting with an update on Soulja Boy's tech company (we wish him the best) before moving on to the serious matter of inferior newsagent confectionery. What would YOU do for a scumby bar? Got a love or hate you'd like to share with us? Get in touch at ashowcalledhate@bigpunchstudios.com...

Join us as we brainstorm the summer’s hottest new horror property. Creepy children laughing? That’s SO last season. Also on the hate docket: McDonald’s Table Service and paintballing. But don’t worry, the love flows freely thanks to our interactive efforts to kill Bear Grylls. Listen, why not, and be healed.

The sun is shining. The sky is blue. So what better way to celebrate an encroaching heatwave than to lock yourself in a darkened studio and rant about what's ailing you? On today's docket: superstitions - who needs 'em? The Joker? What's that all about? Cat litter? Peeeeyew... get that outta my face.

You know what really grinds our gears? How you can't go caring about things any more without that hideous phrase 'social justice warrior' being banded around? Also, boo. Jump scares. Rayman doesn't like them, but how does Jon feel about bitcoin trading apps? There's really only one way to find out.

Nearly three years of despair culminate in this, our first political broadcast. Yeah... it's a Brexit episode. We're so sorry. Format goes right out the window as the hate boys ponder the insanity that their lives have become.

The hate boys return for what might just be *checks disclaimer* 'quite a good episode'. Join us, why not, for a discussion of the perils of free soloing and what happens when everything in marketing looks like a... you know...

Is there anything more sickening than man flu? What about hipster babies? Those smug, naturally talented hipster babies, lording it over us with their man flu. Gah!

Neigh, 'tis true! We may well have solved some of those pesky audio issues that were plaguing our podcast. Celebrate by stepping into our horsepital, and letting Peyo the Horse cure what ails you. Also on the table: weird videos of people eating online, the return of life hacks and electric shocks. Hay now!

After a mid-season break of (*checks watch*... five months!?) the boys are finally back, and ready to love and hate in equal measure. Join them as they cover topics as diverse and wondrous as public apologies, Raynaud's Disease, and that thing where a cartoon animal doesn't wear pants but all their relatives do. Also, there's a lot of talk about Sonic's muscular thighs. Do enjoy - and please pardo...

The hate boys are back at full steam for what was (genuinely) a super fun episode to record. Normally it's one hell of a chore... we can't imagine what listening to it must be like. Anyhow, join us, why not, for a thoroughly entertaining discussion about just how awful equations in adverts are, how not being horrible to people is NOT censorship (you jerk), and how Rayman doesn't actually like fant...

Breaking, scandalous news! Nich Angell leaves podcast under cloud! Jon distraught. Chris Ray seen 'drinking heavily, in public, in a state of undress and disarray'! What does it mean? Tune in, gentle listener, for all the sordid details.

Have you heard the word? It's coming home! Home, you say? Why yes, sir. It's been gone far too long and now it's back - home - where it belongs! Are you excited? Are you excited yet!? Home! It's coming home! No one will be spared when the time comes!

Be warned, there's an unhinged edge to this episode. Maybe it's something in the air, or maybe it's the single bottle of artisan Dutch beer the boys each consumed before going on air. Who knows? I mean, we're not scientists. We're idiots. So do enjoy us talking people who don't like fiction, expanded (yet limited) universes, and why you can't just tell people to F*** off. SPOILERS: because we live...

How do you feel about garbled activism? Does 'design by committee' get under your skin? Hardly a fan of video games? If you've answered yes to many of these vitally important questions, then maybe we can help you. Let us take those hates, process them thoroughly, and express some much-needed love in return.

Jon's age-old rivalry with summer escalates this week, with summer holding back his arms while pollen works the ribs. Despite one third of the hosts nearly dying on air from his allergies, the hate boys soldier on in the sweltering heat for a pretty good episode, all things considered. Apologies for the delay. We've been off doing things, like making comics.

Well, if ever the hateboys were deserving of sponsorship, it's after today's episode. You want brands? We got 'em! Big brands! Small brands! Some as big as your head! Sponsor us, you soulless multinational conglomerates! Ah, ahem. We hope you enjoy this latest instalment of charmingly benevolent complaints. You're welcome.

The boys are laying it all out in the open on today's show, as Nich comes clean about some shocking curbside incidents that he may or may not have instigated. Also, Jon's imagination gets the better of him, leaving him jumping at shadows, and Rayman has a bit of a rant about Facebook and the concept of a 'friendiversary' - which is most definitely not a word. Thankfully, however, we round it off w...

Wow. That Nich fella really likes vinegar, eh? And talking over people. What is he like, I ask you? Coming in here with his vinegary mouth, dominating the conversation with his vinegary opinions. I tell you, it's a good thing this might just be our best episode yet, otherwise he would come across as quite rude. Quite rude indeed!

Well, a new episode of A Show Called Hate is now online, and what can we say about? No, really. What can we say about it? Our entire memory of this episode has vanished into the ether. There was something about manly brands, we think? And then Rayman repeated himself. Hmmm. Hope you enjoy. We guess... (Also, apologies for the slight audio issues. Jon's working on it.)

So Peter Rabbit dabs now. What's not to like about that? I hear he's also pretty sick on a skateboard, doing olivers or whatever, getting crunk. Yeah, all's well in the hate cave this week. Also, why can't big brands just stay on familiar territory? We don't need Peter Rabbit rawl plugs or log flumes. And what's up with Peter Rabbit's sexy, sexy feet? Let's log on and find out together.

The hate boys are back, finding joy in the darkest of places and the sensation in what, otherwise, should be pretty mundane. Have you ever taken a long walk in the middle of the day, just for the heck of it? What about fixing things or making lists? Such sweet, simple pleasures. Have we mentioned how nice this podcast is? Have a wonderful day.

Wow. Look at us, recording a podcast and everything #adulting #lifegoals #notachild Tear yourself away from your Instagrams and your Snapchats for one second, and join us as we rant (in comical fashion) on the topics of charity muggers, being 'an adult' and twee autobiography titles.
