Ungagged!

The gang have escaped ICE in Seattle (but for how long) and head to Portland. There's good local microbreweries but what else awaits our crew as they stop at a Bikers Bar on the outside of town> And not wanting to give anything away but... may there be personal disappointed for Prick?

There IS a solution to poverty... Richie interviews SSP candidate COLLETTE BRADLEY who goes to the heart of the issues facing people in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse.  "IT'S ABOUT WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION."      

ICE have found Prick, Reggie & Chuck! Will they get away, will they end up in El Salvador? If they do get away where will they go? The answers to these questions and more is all in this action packed Part 4 of "A Prick in America".

Prick is still evading ICE and arrives in Seattle. What becomes him and his crew in the city of Grunge, fish markets,  Boeing & Microsoft?

Prick continues his journey in the USA. Travelling in Beryl and land yacht of a Cadillac from NY to Seattle. What will become him this time? 

Prick Knobinson sends a spicy report on his visit to Manhattan. Warning: It's not for the faint hearted! But a seriously good listen.

Our occasional contributor Prick Knobinson reports in his own inimitable style the current situation on the state of fascism in the country today. Be prepared for a telling off!
