You heard it here first. By the end of 2025 we will be ceasing all operations and bringing the Reel Politik podcast to a close after 9 years in an amicable "conscious decoupling". We intend to drop a few more episodes, then it's over and out. It's been real!

Episode 325 - The Beginning of the End

<description>In 1973, Mike Gapes returns from a relaxing "Gape Year" in Swaziland to find that his beloved Ilford South has changed beyond all recognition. What was once a paradise of Real Labour Values has succumbed to entryism at the hands of the sinister forces of Trotskyism, and only Gapes and his trusty team of Gape Goon Generals - including fascist borstal headmaster Frank Young, escaped fascist war criminal Stormzy, newspaper editor Jimothy Baker Sr., notorious rock and roll innovator Johnny Polio, GapesMobile chauffer Gorgeous Georgie, Graham Goodnonce, Dr. Geoffrey Garmer and Geraint Gestapo - can save it from certain ruin, in what is easily in the top hundred bloodiest military campaigns ever supported by Michael John Gapes.

In this companion conversation to S02E01 - RAP AGAINST GAPE, we talk satire in the age of Gapes, not giving a fuck about Britain's relationship to the European Union, and dropping Easter Eggs for the real hip-hop heads.

TALKING GAPE E01 - Rap Against Gape

<description>In the first new GAPECAST since the start of 2021, we travel back in time to the 1980s to follow a young-ish Mike Gapes - still yet to be elected MP-For-Life of Ilford South - as he crosses the Atlantic to bring his golden touch to the city of Los Angeles, California, by creating the crack epidemic and inventing the musical subgenre of gangsta rap. Narrated by retired CIA operative and Gapes handler Felix Lieterman (Yair Rice), this exclusive audio documentary features brand new interviews with Gapes himself and the actor and Israel spokesperson Michael "White Mike" "Milk" Rapaport, famously defeated by Gapes in the rap beef of the century.
