Recorded at the modestly sized West Beth Centre in New York City, this album is Eddie's first recorded outside the UK. It is a brilliant tour de force on empire, religion, and the relationship between Europe and America.

Hello my little quibblers. This week, Proops invites you to listen real close and then disregard every f***** thing you hear.

Greetings, tiny mooses! In this episode, Proops takes a trip to that non-fascist American counterpart to the north, Canadia. Proops also explains the populist appeal of talking about sports, as well as how Howard Dean, the man whom Dick Cheney said no one ever liked, managed to win the governorship of Vermont five terms in a row.

US comic Scott Capurro has been a frequent visitor to the UK since the mid '90s. Generally described as 'outrageous' and even more generally as 'gay', Scott has worked every comedy club and comedy festival in Britain without achieving the national recognition that his mom thinks he so richly deserves! But so what? That's his problem (and hers). Listen to this controversial performance to make up your own mind.

The Night War Broke Out was recorded live in Edinburgh on the evening the US and UK military started the invasion of Iraq, with the bombing of Saddam Hussein's palace.

Lunchtime that day saw a massive turnout of anti-war protestors taking part in civil disobedience by blocking the main streets of the city.

Time for a change, Stephanie thinks. Time to find the kind of job her mother can tell her friends about without making the sign of the cross. So Stephanie Plum quits. Resigns. No looking back. No changing her mind. She wants something safe and normal. As it turns out, jobs that are safe and normal for most people aren't necessarily safe and normal for Stephanie Plum.
