Be it Poundlands, Charity Shops, Car Boot Sales or Bargain Bins, hosts Paul Gannon & Eli Silverman poke around in the corners of the high streets and internet to find treasure in the trash. One week it could be a studio…

    Ivy Insights

    The CheapShow podcast is a little ray of crude sunshine in a somewhat dismal world. I find myself listening to a lot of episodes while working and often come back to my favorites just to hear a certain line or joke and fall into a fit of laughter all over again. The one downside is that, due to its explicit nature, I can never tell people what I'm laughing at! But that's part of what makes CheapShow so special - it's not afraid to push boundaries and delve into the absurd.

    One of the best aspects of CheapShow is the dynamic between hosts Paul and Eli. They are an amazingly funny duo who work well together and bounce hilarious comedy off one another effortlessly. Their chemistry is magnetic, and it's clear that they genuinely enjoy each other's company. The show also has an array of entertaining segments, such as Paul's Page Turners, Gannon's Golden Games, Tales from the Dance Floor, and Tales from the Shop Floor. Each week's episode somehow manages to go off on a funny, rude, and hilarious tangent. It truly is a unique podcast that blends low-brow humor with surreal Pythonesque nonsense.

    Now, let's talk about the worst aspects of CheapShow. Yes, there are dick jokes, heavy streams of toilet humor, and sometimes utter nonsensical shouting matches over god knows what. Some may find these elements off-putting or juvenile. However, beneath the surface lies what amounts to a very intelligent podcast that is often informative and revealing while never losing sight of the fun and humor at its core. It is humorous in the most unconventional ways possible but still manages to make you think and appreciate the craft behind it.

    In conclusion, I cannot recommend CheapShow enough. It is pound for pound the best value podcast on the market. There isn't anything else quite like it. If you're a fan of silly, witty, plain ol' daft humor, then I'm sure you'll have a whale of a time listening to this podcast. Paul and Eli have built a rich and fun-filled world for us all to escape into in these trying times. CheapShow is an experience that you will not get anywhere else, and it is well worth the time investment. So hang in there and give it a listen - you won't regret it!

    The award winning podcast returns for another episode packed with cheap thrills and cheap laughs! This week, Paul and Eli are dipping their toes into the murky waters of “Silverman's Platters” to review three strange musical charity shop discoveries. There is quite the variety ranging from cheesy Dutch Moog arrangements to soul sapping ballads sung by a soap opera loser! There is even time for a dash of post-punk novelty too. Which will be a “platter” and which will be a “splatter”? Only time will tell. There is also the opportunity to revisit an often neglected segment, “Tales From The Shop Floor” which promises the usual confounding stories with the usual dirty denouement. Whilst it's the same economy comedy as usual, there is a lot of emotional manipulation at play. Eli is forced into making more than his fair share of apologies and Paul is in full on gaslighting b*stard mode, which can never end well.

    Somehow, against all the odds, CheapShow has finally won something! Paul & Eli are in high spirits this week as they celebrate their recent “Golden Lobes” podcast awards win! It was a fantastic moment that was only 10 years in the making. This success probably won't go to their heads. At all. It's a bit of a wordy episode this week, as Paul is supplying two books for his “Page Turners” segment. His charity shop discoveries involve one book based on the kids TV show “Bangers & Mash”, and the other is a story puzzle book from the legendary “Usbourne Publishing”. The Cheap Chaps dive into them both to learn more, and if you are lucky, you'll get some story time action from Eli himself! Finally, Gannon pulls out another “Golden Game” to play. For this edition, he's brought along an electronic game based on the popular 1980s ITV game show “Name That Tune”. Sadly, as in most episodes, Eli will find a way to ruin the fun. Whether that's by pretending to be a Scouser or by simply opening his mouth and letting the madness spill out. No matter how dumb or gross this week's podcast is, remember it won a ruddy award! Unbelievable!

    It's been a month of walkabout adventures, game shows and another character retrospective, so it's about time that Eli and Paul got back into CheapShow HQ for another 75 minutes of cheap laughs! It's a “back to basics” episode where Eli gets to have his way with the content, forcing more sauces and snacks into the show than Paul can tolerate. CheapShow gets to sample a new and unusual flavour of Pringles that has a high bar to clear, there is a nice Price of Shite to amuse and bemuse and (because Eli demanded it) the episode closes out with a bumper Sauce Report. It's taken us a little longer than expected, but we finally have our hands on the “Peperami” sausage brand of hot sauces that demand judgement!

    Sometimes Paul and Eli make mistakes, and that's fine. That's part of the cut and thrust of making CheapShow. However, sometimes they need to ask themselves just how many mistakes they should really be making in one episode alone. This week, they make a lot. Eli annoys Paul right from the start and the resulting fall out will only prolong their collective agony. Things begin innocently enough with two new chutneys to sample that both prove to be incredibly hot mommas! It gets a bit wobbly when Eli reveals his cheap soft drinks that all prove to be much less than they'd hoped.

    With Special Guest: Nick Helm Holy F***! Comedy starlet Nick Helm is back on CheapShow and he isn't messing about. He joins Paul and Eli at the Soho Radio Podcast Studios for what turns out to be 90 minutes of rants, shouting, repulsion, audio torture and awkward conversations. Once again, Eli seems to be feeling poorly as he croaks and squeaks through the recording session. The upshot of this is that he develops the most adorable laugh we've ever heard. As for Paul, he's a bit grumpy before things even kick off and his inability to control his co-host and his guest will drain the life from his soul. As for Nick, he's has to endure some unusually flavoured crisps from Finland, Kit Kats from Japan, the Rambo themed music of an ex-BBC radio presenter (no, not that one) and a party game that is only going to make the already volatile atmosphere worse!

    Last week, Paul and Eli gave themselves the challenge of finding six typical pieces of CheapShow tat in just a few hours, in the charity shops of Watford High Street. This week… they are going to share and review their findings. It's a little more random than usual as the items range from the mundane to the bizarre. Along the way, they'll bounce from toy cars to kitsch porcelain statues, via 1980s light entertainers and cheesy dance party albums. After an exhausting day of CheapShowing, the cheap chaps are finding it hard to find the right words, so they decide to invent a load of new ones instead! Who got the best tat, who failed the task?

This week, Paul and Eli take to the mean streets of Watford to scour the charity shops for 6 items to bring into next week's charity shop item face-off! In CheapShow's history, most of the items discovered in charity shops fall into six categories and it's up to the Cheap Chaps to rustle them up in a few hours beating the streets. They need to find a Book, a Game, a Toy, some Kitchenware, a Trinket and a Party Album, but time it tight and the weather is awful.

Whatever you call it, Weed. Marijuana. Bud. Grass. Ganja. Nug. Reefer. Mary Jane. Blunt. Dank. Hashish. Doobie. Pot, CheapShow is talking about it. It's no secret that the Cheap Chaps enjoy smoking weed, but in this slightly different episode, they're going to talk about their relationship and personal history with it.

    MONO EDITION: There's a pointless, nagging question in Paul & Eli's minds… How many bridges span the whole length of the Regent's Canal in London? A popular YouTuber suggested around about 40, but the Cheap Chaps aren't convinced and decide to find out for themselves. So begins a near 9 mile journey right through the middle of London that will delight, confuse, upset and annoy them both. Beginning in the East at The Limehouse Basin, they're going to travel West all the way to the Paddington end. How long will it take and how many bridges will there actually be? You'll find out in this 2 hour epic episode. Along the way they'll vent about joggers, marvel at the graffiti, reveal some history, tackle some Eli supplied snacks, share some personal stories and ONE of them will have a very unpleasant bathroom experience.

    Due to circumstances beyond Paul & Eli's control, they're recording this week's episode from inside the original House of Pickles… And Eli couldn't be happier! To “celebrate” the Cheap Chaps are going back to basics with some good old fashioned content. To get things going, Eli has a red hot Sauce Report in more ways than one. He's sourced two sauces from a nearby convenience store, which was handy, as its conveniently down the road from his place! Paul delivers another Page Turner segment with a book he's been trying to get into the show for ages. As it transpires, this book got a bit more of a reputation following its appearance in a recent Ghostbusters movie! This publication promises a world of “Strange But True” stories guaranteed to confuse the podcast hosts. In other news, CheapShow invents a new pet and, sadly, it's exactly what you think “Nougat The Saucy Horse” is!

    It's an old school episode of CheapShow this week as Eli has collated the “Silverman's Platters” and Paul has crafted a “Price of Shite” challenge. There is plenty of tat to sift though and some of it happens to be a little bit techy. Eli will have to guess the cost of a charity shop sourced neck fan, a tinker's magic set, a nifty little magnifying glass and a weird radio with a great big pair of ruby red lips on it! What do they do? You'll be sorry you asked! Making things extra annoying for Eli is Paul's need to brute force a new character into existence. Will this miserable sod become a new hit, or will Eli lose his temper quickly? When it's time for Eli to show off his latest vinyl record discoveries, he's grabbed two very odd ducks. The first is an utterly shocking charity single designed to raise money for the UK's Children In Need charity. What makes it noteworthy is the fact it is sung by two actors from the British soap opera Eastenders! The second offering from the record box is an odd couple of tracks from the beloved Joe Tex. They are certainly… something! But will they be considered a “platter” or a “splatter”? You can find out by listening to Ep 404 of CheapShow!

    Paul is not in the mood this week. He isn't in the mood to be a podcaster. He isn't in the mood to have a laugh. He isn't in the mood for Eli. He isn't in the mood for Eli's vocal “chuntering” and all he IS in the mood for is a nap. Obviously, Eli loves this fact and is going to great pleasure in soaking up all of Paul's self-loathing. All we are saying is, it may get personal this week! Luckily, there is some actual content, even if it's not exactly the content they planned. Before they even get started, they take a tangent into the deeply scatological when they discover “rectal euphoria” is a thing and Eli suggests a new segment that ISN'T going to happen. CheapShow is back on the snacks, when they are introduced to Tayto “Might Munch” and given a taste test challenge. Meanwhile, a limited edition bag of Walkers crisps tries to gain entrance to the Snack Palace, but will it get in? Finally, Paul has a Charity Shop Showcase he believes will not only win Eli over, but also change the way we understand reality! As you can probably guess, it doesn't go well for him.

    When the call goes out, we answer! A recent which.com article looked into whether a posh cup of tea is any better than a cheap builder's brew. When it comes to Tea, Paul and Eli are self-proclaimed experts and they decide to do their own mini taste test. Paul has bought cheap Tesco Own Brand, Yorkshire and Twinings tea to see if Eli can notice any considerable difference! Not only that, what does Eli think is the best? If you really want the answers to these enquiries, then give this podcast a listen! Before all that “science” happens, the cheap chaps have a gift box from New Zealand that contains some hot sauces AND a collection of candy that will delight and appal in equal measure!

    After all the excitement of 400, it's back to the usual audio nonsense this week as Paul and Eli are joined by returning guest, Tom Mayhew! In a “much longer than expected” recording session, the terrible trio sample a range of odd fizzy pop and sample some homemade hot sauce! After much fuss, they've managed to secure the latest Coca Cola creation which is mixed with the flavour of Oreo cookies! Will it be more effervescent muck? Who knows? They also look into the curious fixation Germans apparently have with orange cola, and so they've got their hands on the premier brand to taste. As Tom is a bit of a Snooker fan, Paul's found a board game based around the multi-balled sport called “Steve Davis Pot Black Snooker Break”! Hopefully it won't be as dull as it looks.

    Often, the “Paul's Page Turners” segment of the show can offer up some wild and unfathomable books to investigate, but this week's choice is a truly mad experience. Paul and Eli may be skeptics when it comes to all things supernatural, but they're willing to hear a story out if it shows promise. The book in question was sold in Cancer Research Charity Shops across the UK and is entitled, “The Show Must Go On: Book Two”. Written by a possibly naïve believer, Malcom Thorogood's proof of life after death comes in the form of visitations from one of the UK's most notorious 1980s light entertainers… Freddie Starr! The man who allegedly ate a hamster (!!) and dealt in high energy, near crazed comedy is now back from the dead to offer some mindboggling experiences from beyond the grave. Paul is gobsmacked and Eli doesn't believe one bit of it! But hey, if you don't like ghosts there's an “Off Brand Brand Off” segment to enjoy. Eli must rank FIVE orange soda brands to see if the Fanta or Tango brands are up to scratch compared to some considerably cheaper alternatives! See? There's something for everyone!

It's a packed episode in general with a Sauce Report, a Charity Shop Showcase and a PO Box sourced Price of Shite to evaluate. Paul's CSS item was meant to be a showstopper, guaranteed to wow his co-host, but it may be that his offering is a load of old balls. Will it join the Showcase, or will it have No Place? The show wraps up with a truly useless Price of Shite competition, a festival of garbage to price up for those much desired “p'twings”.
