    This is it, folks. The golden, shining Episode 100. It's the Discharge Review of the Year, recorded live as part of Nottingham Comedy Festival! With thanks to Furthest From the Sea, it's our century episode, as we look back on 2017 in all it's dead baby glory! On the show, James celebrates just how weird our old favourite George Osborne is, Robbie prepares a puppet show on the new UKIP leader, Jordan has some suggestions for Word of the Year, and Ben presents a world-exclusive look at the new Star Wars film.

That's right, podcasts two weeks in a row. We spoil you lot.

This week, Robbie has been to Canada, Jordan has a fun story about shit, and James has not got any more time for hearing about the My Little Pony movie. Now, all that remains is for you to settle in, and hear a golden podcast of somewhat-reduced audio quality.

It's time Team Discharge familiarise themselves with the TV event of ITV2 between 9 and 10:30 on the evenings it was on. This week, James and Robbie binge Love Island, and see how closely it fits their predictions going in. Join them for a voyage of rapist, twats, and a woman who's probably Andy Cerkis covered in ping-pong balls*. That's right, ladies and mildly disinterested gentlemen, it's time for our Love Island special!   *This is a joke Robbie came up with immediately after finishing the show, and regrets not making, so has squeezed in here.

    When the polling cards go away, the dick jokes come to play. Last week, Britain went to the polls, and put into motion events that could last years, strengthening the political discourse and creating endless amounts of things for us to talk about. So instead, we spent an hour and a half talking about dicks and Flubber's sex life. This week, Ben has some big questions, Jordan has very few answers, Robbie has some career suggestions for Tim Farron and James has some great ideas for new video games. All this and more! More! We somehow managed to fit more in this podcast!

    Disclaimer: The following podcast contains so much politics, it contains a disclaimer warning you about how much politics it contains. There's one week to go until the UK's general election, and we won't let you forget it. James, Robbie and Jordan discuss the highs and lows of the still-unfurling campaign, and tackle each of the five parties jostling for your vote. Plus! Robbie does his best Paxman as we attempt to find a new Podcast PM, we make some outlandish rumours about Caroline Lucas, and play some music by Tim Farron's old pop group (No, really). It also gets angry and impassioned. But can you blame us? There's only one week to go to the election...

    We try really hard to talk about things other than the election this week, honest. A half-strength but absolutely full-fat podcast this week, but don't let that put you off as James and Robbie venture alone. This week, one of them uses a women's toilet and watches Hotel For Dogs, whilst the other is stalked by a man with a carrier bag and celebrates Mental Health Awareness Week. It's quite a show. Quite a show.

    This week, Verbal Discharge celebrates Europe's favourite bucket of tuneless wonder in a glorious live show as part of Derby Comedy Festival! And by that we mean Eurovision, not Nigel Farage. Our Eurovision special comes from the Guildhall Theatre Clubrooms, as a LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE joined us for a celebration of the best and worst of Eurovisions past. On the show, James is confused by UK geography, Jordan recovers from a mental breakdown, Robbie almost chokes to death and Ben wears a frankly remarkable piece of clothing. That you can't see because this is an audio podcast. Never mind. It's a good show. Listen to it. You can find the assorted videos we played during the show in the 'Eurovision Referendum' playlist on our YouTube Channel. The show makes sense without them, but you may want to see them anyway.

Beyond that, Robbie eats a sandwich, Jordan drives a magical musical scat bus and James starts a restaurant. And some more things. Some more strong and stable things.

    Well it's safe to say quite a bit has happened since our last podcast. An election was called, George Osborne stood down, and a new Peppa Pig movie came out. Time for us to deal with it all. There's a lot to tackle this week, in a show many people may describe as 'bumper'. On this week's show, Ben constructs a new political beat 'em up, James finds himself sold into slavery, and Robbie has seen another Peppa Pig movie, and is willing to let history repeat itself. That and we talk about the election. And Brexit. And George Osborne. And Jeremy Corbyn. And the election. And Theresa May. And Brexit. And Nigel Farage. And Vikings. And Brexit. One day we might get over it.

They try their hands as branch assistants at a W.H.Smiths store, stop to ponder the wider justifications for full-scale war with all manner of sovereign states, and even take a moment to infringe on all kinds of copyrights and land themselves in an inevitable heap of legal bother. Expect a Jordan, a Robbie and a James.

This week, Ben does his research, Jordan does his research, James does his research and Robbie does his research. They also discuss ET's sex life, deliver some delicious alternate facts and produce and release, in full, the upcoming Gerard Butler movie Geostorm.

And, as such, Discharge is looking back on our last year in full, as we reflect on each podcast from 2016... In the first of three parts, join us as we relive what has been a frankly busy year for Verbal Discharge. We present the best moments and out-of-context audio clips from episodes 36 to 50 of the podcast, which saw the introductions of Ducky McDuck, Grak and other lovable Verbal Discharge characters, we interview the leader of the Green Party,  personally victimise George Osborne and all kinds of other nonsense! Basically, it's better than a normal podcast because it's just the good bits. We've also got the Verbal Discharge team introducing their favourite bits, plus a supercut of us saying our favourite phrase of the year, "Keith Chegwin's Penis".

James investigates a web of lies, Robbie plays a game of Pin the Tale on the Donald, Jordan stands for election and Ben uncovers a grand conspiracy. Enjoy it, considering the way the election's looking, it might be your last chance.

This week, James attempts to rewrite some classic movies, Robbie gets bored of being a topic podcast, Jordan says poo and Ben showcases once more his remarkable knowledge of early-noughties children's TV. What a wonderful hour you have in store.

    Forewarning: There is no comedy in this week's episode of our comedy podcast, but please don't let that put you off. It's a looser show this week, as Verbal Discharge grapples with the big questions. What is comedy? Can you tire of the widest universe? How big a hack is Ricky Gervais? This week, Ben fails to fix a car, Robbie feels proud of a joke he didn't make, and James should feel ashamed of a joke he did make. Some fun, some food, it's all in this week's Verbal Discharge...

    It comes bursting through the door. Discharge. It screams at you. You scream back, but it does no good. The Discharge has no ears. Only a mouth, a screaming comedy mouth. You take a deep breath and settle down. There's only one thing for it: You need to listen... So what's going on this week? We'll tell you what's going on this week. Robbie writes to his one true love, James gets attacked by a kid with a piece of paper, and Ben begins a new career managing a comedy shop. All this and probably more. If you want to find out for certain, you'll just have to listen, won't you?

    The greatest novelist residing in the living world, Scandinavian genius Jorben Bowen, has written a brand new novella. It's a mind-bending thriller about a podcasting dog, with a thickening plot and twists aplenty. And the only place you can access it is here, in audiobook form, on the Verbal Discharge podcast. Yes, that's right! After generously writing a pilot script for Ducky McDuck, the man who makes people think "This guy is really good at writing" himself, Jorben Bowen, has kindly donated his latest masterwork, Life's a Dog, to the Discharge cause. In the place of a podcast this week, we instead present the Verbal Discharge cast reading the new novella from the acclaimed author of Concord Swordfirewolf and the Monster That. Listen as James, Robbie, Ben and Jordan read the gripping story of Gnarls Shingler, a dog hell-bent on keeping his gaming podcast going after the death of his partner. It's a story full of twists, turns and totally coherent storytelling that was definitely really honestly written by one really talented author with a grand plan for where it was going.

    Every week, the Verbal Discharge team produces some comedy and some other stuff. Every week, the Verbal Discharge team slaves tirelessly over a new podcast, like a tireless slave. Most weeks, Verbal Discharge has a team of four, working on new content. This is not one of those weeks. This week, we are looking for fresh blood. Do you think you have what it takes to join the Verbal Discharge team? Well if you do, you're too late, because we've already narrowed the field down to five. On this week's show, James and Robbie go on the hunt for two new team members, as they conduct five jobs interviews with five potential new Discharge cast members to see if they have what it takes to star on an award-winning comedy show...

    #56: A Brexit in the Park

    Discharge returns from hiatus, without actually returning to a studio to record in. We spin back into the podcasting circle live from Markeaton Park, Derby, as we try to catch up on a whirlwind few weeks... We're back, and recording an episode outside! This week, James has something to say about Brexit, Ben almost gets himself arrested by a sunless underling and Robbie joins a hopeless political party. All of this and more from the only British satirical podcast that is only just getting round making 52% jokes... *Also: Whenever he speaks, Robbie is really quiet this week. If you're wondering why, it isn't anything to do with recording outside, or a post-Brexit vocal depression, he just forgot to turn his microphone on. Idiot.

    Welcome to another installment Verbal Discharge In The Morning, Britain's premiere light entertainment show broadcast before 12PM! This week, The Jam frontman Paul Weller stops by to tell us about his new album My Name is Paul Weller, Gerbal Steinfeld has all the latest from what pundits are calling 'The Football', celebrity chef Liam Gallagher teaches us another delicious recipe you could cook in prison, we read out your tweets on the big Europe issue, our resident amateur film man Robbie Owen ruins the ending of Miracles From Heaven starring Jennifer Garner and glamorous weatherman Ben Knight gives a glamorous weather report about the glamorous weather. All this and more on the greatest breakfast show to ever definitely be broadcast every morning on a major TV station all the time and not be one bloke doing silly voices for 40 minutes because we couldn't record a proper podcast this week.

    Hey, nothing went wrong with the recording this week! It's a minor miracle! And just in time for the Euros, the close of voting registration and the 6th anniversary of an average romcom! We're back with relatively little thirst vengeance, as we celebrate the most important week of the year, depending on your priorities. This week, Jordan frets over his porn habits, James debates the EU referendum, Ben shouts over the top of everyone as normal and Robbie recounts Letters to Juliet starring Amanda Seyfried. We do also talk about the Euros, so if you like football then you should totally listen to us. We're really funny and handsome and charming. Not particularly modest, but nobody's perfect.

    Hello to anyone listening on iTunes! The show is actually called "Milking Dust from a Fox's P****. Fox's P**** is rapper. A very successful rapper, I can't believe you haven't heard of the ol' StarFox before. So, another week, another studio mishap, but another Discharge. We're all crammed around one mic this week, which is why James sounds really far away, but also still the loudest of any of us, because he's James bloody Bosson. This week, Robbie exhibits his Leicester City fandom, James speculates on penis dust and Jordan avoids talking about his brand new employer. Some fun, some food. It's all inside this week's podcast.

    It's podcast time again, gang! Only yesterday we found ourselves unable to record this week due to the old technical difficulties, so instead we present half an hour of NEVER BEFORE HEARD bits and pieces from the Verbal Discharge archive! This week, only Robbie is really present, but you can also hear Jordan wait for Natalie Bennett, Ben forget how to use a microphone, James speculate on what Mel Gibson's up to. All this and a few more bits and bobs, carefully curated from everything we've ever recorded without putting on the podcast.
