• The Scottish One - Live Stream (31 May 26) 03.06.2026 54min

  After a brief hiatus, M&B are back with more esoteric insights, toe-tapping tunes and rallying cries of rage in this era of late-stage capitalist chaos. Don't forget, you can head to YouTube and watch the catch-up version of these live streams, and you'll get to hear Bernard's songs that get cut from the podcasts! Songs in this episode: Chappell Roan: Hot To Go, Talking Heads: Once In A Lifetime, The Proclaimers: Sunshine On Leith. Join us this coming Sunday for the next stream! 7th June, 8pm UK time (3pm ET). Watch on YouTube here. And you can still support this week's campaign! You can find the link here.

• Your Favourite Marsupial - Multi-Charity Live Stream (10 May 2026) 12.05.2026 53min

  It's another multi-charity special! Plenty of Muppet-talk in this week's stream, along with a pondering on whether Waterworld is a maligned classic, and some distinctly unhelpful spiritual guidance from Jilly Cooper and this week's guest publication, The Medieval Traveller by Norbert Ohler. And of course, we helped raise money for a host of charities: PCRF, Medical Aid For Palestinians, Trans Lifeline and Amnesty International. And you can still donate to the charity of your choice via this week's campaign page. Join us on Sunday 17th May at 8pm UK time (3pm ET) for the next one!

• Good Gollum Miss Mollum - Live Stream for PCRF (3 May 2026) 05.05.2026 49min

  Good Gollum, Miss Mollum! It's another M&B charity live stream, raising money for the PCRF - Palestine Children's Relief Fund. A very body-positive episode this week (with no thanks to our star bibliomancy text, Pandora by Jilly Cooper). Head on over to the YouTube recording of the livestream to hear Bernard play Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell) and Boy Child (Scott Walker), which of course can't be included in the podcast for copyright reasons. But they sounded very nice! Join us on Sunday May 10th for our next multi-charity live stream! And you can still support this week's campaign for the PCRF, here.

• Mr Brain and Aunt Bessie - Multi-Charity Live Stream (26 Apr 2026) 28.04.2026 49min

  On this week's episode of "half-remembered things and dubiously named British foodstuffs", M&B discuss the phenomena of Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Puddings, the Fray Bentos Meaty Pud, the Double Decker, and of course, Mr Brain's Pork F*****s. Join us next week, when M&B promise to eat at least one (1) of those foodstuffs on air! Watch the next stream on Sunday 3rd May, at 8pm UK time (3pm ET), here. We will be raising money for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. Donate to this week's charity campaign, here.

• We're leaving Spotify. Let's keep in touch! 08.04.2026 2min

  Here's the link to our Bandcamp page And here's the link to our Ko-fi page Hello, listeners! It’s us again. Hopefully you listened to our last message. If you didn’t, it was about how we’re taking all our shows off Spotify. And now, that time has come: as of today, we’ve requested their removal. Spotify makes the process as opaque as possible, so we don’t have a definitive date for when they will disappear, but it is imminent. So, where can you find us once we’re off Spotify? Where are we putting our brand new season of Mockery Manor? Are we making sure there’s always a free way to listen to it? Firstly, yes, there are many ways to listen to our shows for free. They will continue to exist on almost all podcast platforms - except Spotify. The free versions include adverts, although we try to keep those to a minimum. If you’d prefer to listen to Mockery without adverts - and who wouldn’t - then the most ethical way to do that is one we’ve just launched, where for only £3.49, you can purchase a whole season of Mockery on Bandcamp. And if you’re wondering why we chose £3.49, that’s because that was the average cost of a CD single in around 2002, when I started buying music. All our scripted podcasts are now available on Bandcamp, and they sound much better. The audio quality of a podcast is higher there than on any other online platform. MUCH higher. That’s because podcast platforms use compressed MP3s, while on Bandcamp, everything is CD-quality, high definition lossless audio. And unlike other online services, Bandcamp pays artists fairly. In a world that seems to be trying to destroy creators, services like Bandcamp means we can keep going. Also, Bandcamp’s profits DO NOT go into the pockets of mass murderers! What a world, where that’s even a thing. We’ve always given our monthly supporters free access to our music albums on Bandcamp, but going forward, they’ll also have access to unlimited plays of our podcasts in high definition, so join us over on Ko-fi for that delicious perk. Mockery Manor season 4 is due out this summer, so please do listen to it for free on any other podcast platform, or for £3.49 on Bandcamp. See you on the other side!
