WHAT IS OFFAL?

Offal is a mysteriously produced 'audio zine' transmission, lovingly crafted from the finest literary leftovers and satirical scraps, pressed with warm tranches of absurdist monologue, all set to a soundtrack of the outer reaches of ambient, jazz, techno, hip hop, jungle and electronica, and occasionally interrupted by corporate transmissions from its sinister parent company Offal Industries.

Since launch in 2023, Offal episodes have been individually delivered via WhatsApp on a virtual phone number in a laboriously hacked together digital facsimile of pirate radio to anyone who asks for one, but the growing audience has made this increasingly impractical and caused arthritis in one Offal editor's thumb.

All episodes are now available online & via RSS, featuring old faves such as Kenneth & Dear's ongoing adventures in codependence and Gabriel Clickbait's incisive news reports, as well as demented one-offs like SlipMatt & Lime's Rave Detective Agency... plus occasional 60-minute DJ Offalmixes, and special episodes for Halloween, national elections, royal coronations and other events we deem of great importance.

IN PRAISE OF OFFAL

‘A hilarious yet hauntingly uncanny Blue Jam-style fusion of horror, sketch show and soundscape.’ – The Guardian

‘Bit mental innit. Like DJ Food meets Ratpack 90s rave tapes overdubbed with Radio 4 on acid’ – MG

‘Like a Radiophonic Workshop from a dystopian future.’ – CN

‘While the Blue Jam comparisons are irresistible, where I think their collective sits is closer to the constituents of ‘New Weird Britain’… It’s stimulating and interesting, and a very British way of wreaking havoc with AI tools… All six episodes taken as a whole serve as a perfect piece of performance art on the bleeding edge of the here and now.’ – Dazed

‘Honestly, this is wonderful – surreal, funny, dark, intriguing, confusing… and the closest thing to Chris Morris’ Blue Jam that I think I have ever heard. I can’t stress enough that you NEED to listen to this. This deserves to be famous and win awards and stuff… because this is ART.’ – Web Curios

‘Is it a Podcast? Is it a Radio Show? No! It’s Offal! And it really is wonderful.… Go on. Get Offaled!’ – Storythings

‘Loved it. Felt like listening to all my favourite childhood TV and radio programmes while they were melting. Tomorrow’s World and The Good Life on deep skunk.’ – JM

‘Some believe the tortured flesh is becoming our own. Some just want to watch the world burn… Some just want to listen. Listen to this.’ - The White Hotel

‘Discombobulating and utterly wonderful.’ – SLL

‘Psychedelic and troubling and laugh-out-loud funny’ – AT

‘A fusion between man and mangled machine, blending a psychedelic dark satire reminiscent of Blue Jam with a warmth of character that harks to the best of the Fast Show… A ride of bizarre imagery, non-sequiturs and unexpected loop-the-loops that make you forgive for the moment the impending Endtimes. At least with Offal in your ears, you won't hear the screaming, and you might just go out laughing.’ – IT

‘Excellent! Played to my one-year-old. He said he enjoyed the funny voices and squelching sounds but ultimately felt like he’d been cast adrift into a deep lake of manic techno-pessimist ennui.’ – J

‘The Archers meets Monty Python on acid’ - JB

‘Wogan on Mogadon’ – JM

‘Burroughs with the Internet plugged in.’ – AS
