Episode 114: Art for Art's Sake
29/06/2022 Duración: 24minOur fixee loves to draw, but, tired of waiting for the muses to strike, they turn to us for help. To fix it, if you will. To fix them, if you’ll permit me to be so bold. Speaking of muses, have you seen Xanadu? Demented film. A word of warning: the final fix in this episode is especially spicy, so maybe don’t listen to it when the kids are around or if you suspect you’re under surveillance by the po-po or similar.

Episode 112: Satisfaction
29/03/2021 Duración: 24minThis week’s fixee has taken upon themselves the thankless task of caring for and aiming to improve the lot of a sexless chap from the internet.

08/03/2021 Duración: 18minThis week’s (year’s?) fixee has demanded we shake off the dust, cram our plague masks with posies and set off into the world in search of fixes. The problem? They fancy their best friend’s ex. The solution? US.

Episode 110: Work, Bitch
30/03/2020 Duración: 10minIt’s a tale as old as time - you’re doing a work because capitalism demands you sell your dignity at the market rate, when your boss starts to micromanage everything you do. Of course you’d turn to us. Because we’ll fix it. And we’ve got a chart!
-
Episode 109: I Touch Myself
16/03/2020 Duración: 16minIt happens to us all - a slip of the pen or keyboard, and quite the wrong message is conveyed. In the case of this week’s fixee, they are locking themselves away to meditate, only to later say it was something… quite different. Can we help? Oh, but we’ve got three robust and sinewy fixes waiting to go.

Episode 108: The Pee Tape
10/02/2020 Duración: 20minLook. You don’t like it, we don’t like it, but sometimes people need help with other people and their inability to pee correctly. Just… in the right place. At all. The big porcelain bit. So yeah, here we are. Helping. With all the pee.

Episode 107: Every Day I Write The Book
13/01/2020 Duración: 15minWhen we were young, we were taught that it would be the most important thing in the world to have clear, neat handwriting as we would be doing so much of that in our important adult jobs. Well now we have those and it turns out the only writing we do is cryptic graffiti about wasps on the toilet walls. But I digress, this week’s questioner wants to return to their writing stamina of old. Can we, even in these technological times, return them to the strength of the scriveners of old? You’d better fucking believe it, treacle.

Episode 106: Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long
30/12/2019 Duración: 12minThis week’s listener doesn’t know when to stop clicking on Twitter’s recommended accounts, and through plenty of fault of their own is now in a race against Twitter’s algorithm and their own capacity for “erotic joy”. The Algorithm may destroy their horn, and they have turned to us, in the dying days of 2019, for help.
-
Episode 105: Eat It
16/12/2019 Duración: 14minThis week’s listener knows that particularly modern malaise that comes from having someone confuse their email address for your own. The gift cards, summonses and death threats meant for a total stranger are piling up and so they turn to us for help. And help we shall!
-
Episode 104: Tell Her No
04/12/2019 Duración: 13minBut every single time, every single person is going to ask them, so teeth-achingly politely, for what they’re proposing as an alternative that one of two things will happen.
-
Episode 103: Sonic Youth
18/11/2019 Duración: 15minOur listener is concerned about their nephew, who has recently developed a fascination with the ceaseless rows of teeth found in beloved mascot Sonic The Hedgehog. They would like us to do something about this, and we’ve come at this one from all angles, medical, spiritual, doing nothing - all bases are covered.
-
Episode 102: Your Time Is Gonna Come
28/10/2019 Duración: 23minThis week’s questioner has only gone and got themselves a bona fide nemesis - truly the dream of the dramatically-inclined podcast intro text writer. And yet, this nemesis is shit. Just really not up to the task. What are some low-key revenge-based activities one can engage in when your nemesis isn’t really up to snuff?
-
Episode 101: The Time Warp
21/10/2019 Duración: 18minWhere does the time go? It seems like only moments ago that we were declaring ourselves “on sabbatical” and walking into that suspiciously large gap in the trunk of that lightning-blasted tree, and now here we are, back, seemingly refreshed, and with absolutely no knowledge of the intervening months. Our questioner suffers from this too, though it seems unlikely that they too were found wandering, naked and alone in that fog bank. No, they just find that no matter what, they don’t seem to have as much time as they used to. Can we fix that? Dear listener, you’d better fucking believe that we can.
-
Episode 100: Sign O' The Times
01/07/2019 Duración: 17minThis week’s questioner hates the rash of “humourous” signs that accompany British protest culture, and they insist that we do something about it. And while we don’t make the laws - yet - there are some things we can offer to help get this infestation under control. And with 100 episodes under our belts, the powers that be have given us a few months, a handful of precious days to slip back into the forest to rejuvinate ourselves. We’ll see you soon, and keep sending those problems for us to fix.

Episode 99: 99 Problems
25/06/2019 Duración: 01h50minA very special episode this week, as we fix 99 of your niggling problems LIVE, unrehearsed, rapid-fire, except when we go on a long digression about bums or something, with no notes or nothing, with too much to drink, with categorically the wrong equipment to attempt this, with severe technical issues, and more. Ladies. Gentlemen. May we present: 99 Problems. Amazingly it gets to about 25 minutes in before it all breaks down completely. At one point, there was a small fire and we styled it the fuck out, because we’re professionals. Live recording is hard at the best of times, let alone when you’re shitfaced in three different cities. As a result you may hear a loud bird, the odd bump, bang, scream, descent into madness, and, of course, the po-po.
-
Episode 98: All Work and No Play
04/06/2019 Duración: 20minThis week’s questioner has taken on a job that perhaps they should not. It’s giving them the right proper fear - the wobbles, the yips, all that bad stuff. It might look like there’s no way out, but when have we ever let you down?
-
Episode 97: Soup For One
06/05/2019 Duración: 13minOur listeners, you may surmise, can be delicate. Oh, they put on a brave face, but they get in a tizzy over all sorts. This week’s wants to navigate the tricky and previously unknown etiquette of how to pronounce “pho”. Is it “fuh”, “fur”, or “foe“? Whatever it is, if it’s between our tender listeners and a steaming bowl of soup you’d better believe we’re on the fucking case.

Episode 96: Takin' Care of Business
22/04/2019 Duración: 16minOur questioner, one of the rats fleeing a sinking ship, would like to do something nice for their boss before they leave this job - they’d like to make sure their boss lands on their feet with a nice new job somewhere else. How are they - are we - to achieve this? Let’s find out, together.
