The Epstein List & Redacted Justice 10.04.2026

The term conspiracy has suffered a tough time as of late. Can one even claim to wear a tin-hat anymore, when such widespread and societal-shattering evidence to the reality of a demonic, paedophilic global order running the world have been released for all to see?  Eyes Wide Shut immediately springs to mind. There is so much to unpack here and endless ramifications to chart in the immediate fallou...

The Trumps of a Big Stinky Orange Goblin 16.02.2026

In what has been a barnstorming, no-holds-barred first year of Donald Trump's second term as President, a lot has happened. Not much of it has led to any joy or societal parity. Much of it has indeed engaged the laser focused ray of The Jeremiad Podcast and we thought it only fair to call to attention the raft of ill-intent and havoc wreaking to spill from those dastardly orange hands thus far...

Game's Gone 5: Bungs For Goalposts 26.01.2026

In the latest episode of The Jeremiad Podcast's Game's Gone series, we are conducting a mid-season review. 2025/26 has brought its fair share of nonsense, faith-shattering developments and downright institutional blasphemy. It is our divine right to ensure these do not go unnoticed as the beast that is modern football dovetails ever further into being an implausible circus holding the hearts of th...

Dam-Busting Scandals: The Murky Water Business 07.11.2025

So essential to life, yet so perpetually maligned. Perhaps our approach to water best shows the impending downfall of humanity. In this cheery pop-sensation of an episode, The Jeremiad Podcast spills the beans on just how damaging the state of UK water supply is and lifts the lid on the long-reaching ramifications of this. We are naturally 70% water ourselves, but by listening to this episode you...

Traipsing The Hollow Path Hiking Has Become 15.09.2025

The great outdoors have for time beyond our times provided sanctity, respite and treasure to human and animal kind alike.

Game's Gone: The VAR Farce 25.06.2025

We here at the Jeremiad Podcast suspect VAR may be offside in this instance, so in this episode we're pointing out the myriad of convoluted flaws VAR stinks of.

Are We Facing an Ozempic Epidemic? 05.06.2025

Ozempic and other associated medical weight-loss jabs are the latest modern phenomenon to incite the wrath of the Jeremiad podcast. A poignant, concurrent symbol of the shortcut society we slip ever further into, this growing trend evokes the culture of misuse modernity propagates and threatens to obscure what it means to be human.

How Vanity Is Crippling Society 28.11.2024

Who knew the silent murderer was sat there comfortably installed in our homes, just biding its time. Waiting to give us what we desire, to watch our vanity grow into an uncontrollable monster hellbent on devouring all that's pure in life. A bit harsh?

The Business of Music and Subliminal Subversion 01.10.2024

Highly nauseating regurgitated fodder. Sound familiar? Because you've definitely heard it - we are all subject to the ills and ear-wriggling fungus modern mainstream music exists as. What even is chart music? Why must real art suffer at the hand of fallacy? These questions have proved something of an illusion. Until now. The Jeremiad podcast cocks the hammer and lets fly at the faking and the forg...

MPs Behaving Badly 29.08.2024

The political landscape is little more than a bourgeois minefield that garrots and gashes all it comes into contact with. But why is it so continuously riddled with outrage and scandal - what iggly spirits have wiggled into those right and honourable sleazebags employed to provide diplomacy yet who only seem to threaten it? In this episode, the Jeremiad podcast is rolling around in the mucky field...

Game's Gone: Too Many Fixtures Killing Football 26.07.2024

Further into the cavern we delve, against all sense and odds. The game today is a mutated, blithering husk of the beauty formative minds fell in love with.

AI Is The Plague We Can't Stop 19.06.2024

The question of 'what is real' has become more strained over past decades, yet now it elicits more stringent and estranged conversation than ever before. More than any of the many simulative aspects contorting modern existence, Artificial Intelligence is the overarching presence clouding the question. This episode of the Jeremiad podcast is dedicated to discussing the inescapable plague AI represe...

Everyday I'm Suffering 20.05.2024

If waking is a pain then we are the beleaguered. A thorn in the side, a pebble in the shoe, it is the minor irks that manifest as malicious wriggles under the skin. The battering ram of idiocy that beats one down without remorse is all the more pugnacious for how easily it could be avoided. In this episode of the Jeremiad podcast, we dissect the maledictions we must battle against each day in this...

The Facebook Eye 22.04.2024

Social media is everywhere these days. You cannot escape it. It lurks around every corner. It has weeded itself into the psyche of modern society with malicious intent, and to a worrying extent, it has become the apple of many eyes. So much so, folk now view the world through a pixelated-social-media-first lens. The Jeremiad podcast is aware of the dangers this poses and in this episode we set abo...

Game's Gone: Dramatisation of The Not So Beautiful Game 24.03.2024

Such a befouling fall from grace, is it now past any hope of reprieve? We dissect the gruesome dramatisation of football, pepper the episode with some simply remarkable impressions and lament the theft of something pure and wholesome from the people who it rightly belongs to, by the greedy few stood on the touchline with greasy fingers. Some say the game's gone - others stick with increasingly ext...

The Sacrosanta Violation 19.02.2024

A wicked befouling. Unrepentant plunder. Bankrupt Grandma. Yes of course, we here refer to Yuletide, or the sour, sore defiance that has become of the sacred winter rite. Christmas is a commercial holiday. A merry tradition increasingly mired in materialistic depiction as plastic trees burn in the nearing distance. Join us on this episode of the Jeremiad podcast as we cross-examine the pillaging o...

The Trickery and Treachery of Corporate Altruism 19.01.2024

Shrouded in guises of charity and selflessness, the heralds of Corporate Altruism cometh to extoll their fraudulent virtues and wash the blood off their hands.

The Origin of Rant 19.12.2023

Mankind’s time is at hand. The bells of hell ring out all around, and only doom appears on the horizon. Felled are the trees we once loved, black clouds become our lungs. Are we so far lost?

This is the Jeremiad podcast of upturning stones and calling out society’s woes. Hum...
