Matt Hancock's Antique Wardrobe of Gruesome Death 09.11.2023 25:09
It's the final episode of our second series of sketches, comedy, and bumfoolery. We catch up on James' recovery from his breakdown, watch an oddly stress-free episode of Question Time, trial a new running app, catch up on another early Bob Dylan demo, and savour the literary brilliance on display in The Home Secretary Wrote A Porno? Then, this being a season finale, we end on a sickeningly...

Sushi & the Banshees 02.03.2023 24:29
Rejoice, my friends. The second series of the electric sodcast is finally here. This all-new episode contains such wonders as: The New Adventures of Matt Hancock, Spelling Bee, Youtube's hottest fashion influencer, the Victorian Father, Looking Up and Inside with Ptolomy Botolph , and my own Hospital Gift Shop sketch which I rather like. It's the sort of thing Fry & Laurie might have done, if...
Coming Soon? 26.01.2023 5:17
It was going to be the biggest blockbuster of a "Coming Soon" trailer EVER, with a budget of over $1 million U.S. dollars. But dickhead over here didn't switch his phone off, so the take was wrecked. I'm sorry. But please stay tuned for series two of our sketch show, the electric sodcast. For it is coming. Soon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Look Out, It's the Christmas Special 25.12.2022 9:55
Some podcasts really throw everything at their Christmas episode, pulling out all the stops to bring you sonic delights, festive whimsy and yuletide editing all bullet-sharp and pin-point. We didn't. We knocked this out in about five minutes then we naffed off down the boozer like MEN. Cos it's Christmas, yeah? It's Christmas. It's all about going to the pub and drinking beer. It's what Jesus woul...
Sodsgiving 24.11.2022 13:01
Like a chocolate box, we present a festive selection of random goodies. But which sketch will be the hugely popular orange creme, and which sketch will prove to be the inedible atrocity with a fucking brazil nut hidden in the centre, just waiting to trigger a fatal bout of anaphalactic shock in some unsuspecting allergic listenist? From the rain-soaked jungles of Costa Rica, and the piss-tinged wa...
Hallowe'en Special 2022 31.10.2022 10:22
A nightmarish tale to chill the blood and shrivel the plums of even the bravest of skeptics. Don't say you haven't been warned. Mwahahahaha!

Little England News 23.10.2022 11:36
Join Glenn Benjamin (and producer Olly Capon) for the launch of Little England News, Britain's all-new TV News channel that tells it like it is. Broadcasting live from a very reasonably-priced studio in Chiswick, funded by Russian oligarchs, and produced by a Philosophy graduate from the University of Kent, this is the anti-woke, snowflake-free information you've been waiting for. With added Keane...
An Obitchery 15.09.2022 16:11
Softly-spoken toff-botherer Nicholas Quim of our Royal News Desk mops up his damp, voluminous grief and gets on with his job. His report, which was fuelled by gin, is wildly inaccurate and was cobbled together over a weekend during rare breaks in his hysterical, performative distress, with the help of our long-suffering audio producer Mina. And if he thinks he's distraught now, wait until he check...
The Witness vol.1 01.09.2022 7:15

Will of the People: Fête Accompli 09.06.2022 13:15
The satirical political comedy from the electric sodcast. You might think it's been a tough week for the Prime Minister, but spare a thought for lowly backbencher Will Bellingham, MP (James Burton) who is currently hurtling away from London to avoid the shame and indignity of the #masturgate scandal he seems to have become horribly embroiled in. Did he really get his #Johnsonout in the House of Co...

The satirical political comedy from the electric sodcast.
