John Walker's Electronic House

In our 222th ever Rum Doings, our topic has been removed due to offensive language.

We discuss why Twitter should have been an open protocol, the opening of the Olympics, and then an extended argument about trampolining. We learn about the complexities of imaginary private beaches, the arrival of Olympic baseball and as you’d imagine, a dissection of Radio 4’s Loose Ends.

In our 221th ever Rum Doings, our topic is, the British Summer, eh?

We talk about the subject that is at the forefront of the English-speaking world’s current interests: a vintage bus rally. And this tattoo and this image leads us to considered the delightful Nazism of Disney. Nick grills John on Toby’s pink pram, and then we consider Owen Jones’ latest peculiar twist.

John tells a story that means no one will ever touch him again, we attempt to understand Pokemon GO and the potential of augmented reality gaming, and consider just how awful are the Cornish.

In our 220th ever Rum Doings, our topic is, wouldn’t making refugees work at Sports Direct kill two birds with one stone?

The big headline! Nick’s broken his foot! Hear all the background to the story that’s rocked the nation.

We then move on to talk Corbyn, as you might imagine. We talk Trident. We talk Owen Smith and his problematic ways. We talk May’s evil cabinet. And then we’re invaded.

In our 219th ever Rum Doings, our topic is, isn’t it time to nationalise Taylor Swift?

We make some predictions for the future. All of them will come true. So better get your stuff in order, Queenie. We talk YouTube, and then obviously get into the hilarity of the Labour leadership coup, and the monstrousness of Theresa May.

What news might we have read if Britain hadn’t gone bonkers? Do you remember the Chilcot enquiry? Do you wear shoes? Is there a single ugly cello player?

In our 217th ever Rum Doings, our topic is, poor old Cliff.

So, yeah. Recorded at 7.30am, this is our immediate reaction to Britain’s voting to leave the EU. We discuss the possible consequences, the devastating impact, and ponder best case scenarios for the future. Which is tough, at this point. Worth noting that Cameron announced his resignation the very moment we stopped recording, so we only speculate that he will.

In our 216th ever Rum Doings, our topic is, is it now time to introduce the death penalty for those who record a song that sounds a bit like another song?

This week we talk about Brexit vs Bremain, and as you might imagine a week before the vote, that’s about it. We look at some of the arguments, we discuss some of the potential consequences, and we implore people to get off their bums on Thursday to vote for things to stay the same.

In our 215th ever Rum Doings, our topic is, if we have a healthcare lottery, why isn’t it self-funding?

We’ve got a pamphlet! This week you can learn all about The Original Copper Heeler Registered Trademark, and the panacea it presents to the universe.

We ponder on immigration and the EU referendum, and Nick’s impressive encounter with some Brexiteers. And Toby’s tact.

In our 214th ever Rum Doings, our topic is, shouldn’t Elton John’s husband David Furnish be entitled to the same privacy as all of us.

Entirely separately from our topic, because what would it have to do with those two?, we discuss privacy and the peculiarity of injunctions. We come up with Stewart Lee’s next live show, and then move on to looking at the new television programmes that we’ll be flying over to America to watch this Autumn.

In our 213th ever Rum Doings, our topic is, if ghosts don’t exist then how do you explain all the wind?

We discuss John’s adventures in hospital, the new London mayor, and the snottiest of MSPs. We also ponder how technical mishaps can so easily lead to attending anti-Semitic rallies, and laugh at stupid readers of RPS.

In our 212th ever Rum Doings, our topic is, wouldn’t the money spent on the Rio Olympics have been better spent on the NHS and the kiddies and the old folk?

We talk London’s mayoral options, the death of Prince, and return to the topic of national price vs nationalism.
