Lie Hard With A Vengeance

Paul Blakeley and Rick Allden

Two ‘men’. Four lies. Two truths. Why not take a break from the real world and come wrap your ears round this weekly comedy gameshow? It’s clean too, so your kids and pets can listen and, add this to the sales pitch, it’s British; so that’s fun. Marvel at the morsels of pirate knowledge you never had, gasp at hitherto ungrasped info about bees and, best of all, why not play along yourselves? Keep it down if you’re on the train mind, don’t be that guy.

Hoaxes and True Crime

Lie Hard With A Vengeance

10/18/18 • 21 min

Used to be that a Granny liked nothing better than a grisly tale of true crime; but it's a realm no longer reserved for the octagenerian.

Why, even the boys are having a bash.

So, this week it's true crime up against hoaxes. Conspiracies, lies and the Loch Ness Monster. Hoaxes? We would say that wouldn't we?

A comedy podcast.

Winston Churchill and Pokémon

Lie Hard With A Vengeance

Harry Potter and The Cold War

Lie Hard With A Vengeance

06/20/19 • 29 min

Alas not the communist remake featuring Capitalist pig dogs as dementors. but rather the two subjects for this week's episode. In no way cashing in on the impending release of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, we have three facts on that smug, rich four-eyed troll-botherer. We follow this, comrade, with three facts about to that frostiest of battles, the Cold War. Nope, not the good episode of the last season of Game of Thrones, but Russian and American spies chasing each other about and that. A weekly clean comedy gameshow podcast. Play with us comrade! Or else dissipate. Or Expelliarmus. Or something

Hemingway And The Occult

Lie Hard With A Vengeance

06/13/19 • 26 min

Ernest Hemingway. The man. They myth. The bearded, sadistic bullfighter. Proof that it's not only the nerds that write the books. For Whom The Bell Tolls, Old Man and the Sea and The Importance of Being Ernest Hemingway fired from his pen like beer from a blunderbuss.

Then it's the Occult! Ooga Booga! Pentagrams! Ghosts! Witches! Ouiji Boards! The fact that The Rolling Stones are still gigging! Is ANY of this stuff to be believed. Think about it now. No-one reads these bits though YOU are. You think it was your choice. Was it though? Was it? JEEPERSBUTLOOKBEHINDYOU! OK - enough of that. A weekly clean comedy gameshow podcast. Play with us! We DARE you mwahahahahaha.

Gandhi and The Industrial Revolution

Lie Hard With A Vengeance

08/08/19 • 26 min

This week sees peaceful, circus strongman-faced Mahatma Gandhi up against the whirring and whistling, soot and smog, and all round alliteration of The Industrial Revolution.

Gandhi. Salt-marcher, peaceful protester and Churchill-baiter. But underneath that simple robe beat the heart of a London-chiselled lawyer who may, once, have served food to Adolf Hitler.

Then it's the Industrial Revolution that'll tar your inner ears. Did Dickens really ply guttersnipes with alcohol for their stories? Would you even say Dickens wrote during the Industrial Revolution? Ask Paul!

Titch And The Enchanted Snowglobe

Lie Hard With A Vengeance

12/20/18 • 23 min

In a world of Trump, Brexit and I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, behold an act of such wanton arrogance that even a peacock would blush.

For, this two man podcast, for one night only, turns all theatrical.

A live-recorded Christmas Play - as a young Dickensian urchin finds himself imprisoned in a snowglobe.

Featuring a cast of Santa, The Snowman and a teenage/antler-y Reindeer, plug this direct tap to festive cheer right into your lugholes.

Happy Christmas Everyone!

If you think there was anything civil about the civil war you'd be quite wrong. If you were alive in England in the 1600s you ran a real risk of losing your head! Are you Team Roundhead or Team Cavalier? Spoiler, you probably lose either way.

But what about drummers? Bang bang tish bang, that's right, much nicer to be a drummer, especially if you like trains, sausages or turkey's.

So whether you're into drummers or the civil war, we've got a safe for work friendly fun podcast just for you!
