The New Ark

Earth hasn't exploded (yet) so we're back! Well... Elliot is. Saf got eaten by fungi and in his place it's Welshman Joe being overly nice to bastard animals. First on the chopping block: rhinos. [Boo hiss!] In this ep, Elliot tries to break Joe and almost succeeds, extracting the choice phrase: "Life is shit." Fun times! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The royal rumble rematch: closing out The New Ark series 1 in style with a three-way showdown between frogs, snakes and fungi. Can we break the podcast by letting a non-animal on board? Yes we can!! Our first 'happy' ending for the show and plenty of pizza-based discussion. Series 2 coming this September to a device near you! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Is Black Panther any good? What the f*** is a panther anyways? In the series' penultimate episode, we take a jackhammer to jaguars' reputation and reveal why God mucked up with camouflage. Do jaguars deserve a spot on the ark? Head to @newarkhives to leave your vote... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Saf's chance to take his revenge on cats being left for the coming apocalypse. Elliot's chance to rant about annoying ads and murderous nymphomaniacs.

This episode, Darwin and God team up to help worms worm their way on board. Elliot resorts to Star Wars' giant sandworms and the Mongolian death worm.

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode: a starfish of chameleons in an aquarium. Also Saf misspells chameleon. Elliot plays the race card and reveals God's OG rules for animals on the ark. No longer will chameleons blend in and escape keen eyes- now they're out, exposed in the spot light, all their crimes laid bare for judgement. Do they deserve to make it on the ark? You decide.

So they killed 26 little children in the Bible, but never mind- bears are great, right? Then again, how did Goldilocks die? And what's up with the sloth bear ripping out peoples faces whilst they're still alive? Are bears hairy Chewbacca jedis or will they join the dark side? Head to @newarkhives afterwards to cast your vote on if bears get the golden ticket to Earth 2.0 or if farcical fire and brimstone better suits their crimes. Hosted on Acast.

In this un-bee-lievably bee-eautiful episode, the honey-tongued Saf defends bees against Elliot's lambasts. Inventors of democracy or imperialist autocracy? Hive mind or mindless bombing suicides? And what kind of bee makes hallucinogenic rainbow honey? All this and more- head to @newarkhives afterwards to cast your vote on if bees merit a spot on our space cruise. Hosted on Acast.

How do you catch a wolf with one hand down its throat? Listen in to find out. Fairy tale villains or misunderstood cretins- all will be revealed as Elliot and Saf sink their teeth into the gritty business of wolves. And supervolcanoes. Because why not? Head to @newarkhives afterwards to vote on whether wolves deserve a place on the all new and improved ark. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Saf's been eaten by fungi and now they're here to claim their mouldy old spot on the ark. They're not even animals but hey- who cares? They're serial killers anyway, so it take a very stupid person to get on their bad side. Like Elliot. Special guest Marika Bell wisely defends them. Head to @newarkhives afterwards to cast your vote: fungi friends or foes? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

They rhyme with cats, which is always a bad omen, but will bats make it on the ark? Only time will tell. And a rant or two from Elliot along the usual lines- bats being responsible for both COVID and World War 3, of course. Listen closely then head to @newarkhives to vote if bats get that golden ticket to a new world... or not. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Raccoons are obese good-for-nothing big black-and-white rats. Or are they? In this marvellous episode, Elliot fails abysmally to find a more popular Marvel film than Guardians of the Galaxy and we discuss whether raccoons can really talk- very, very, briefly. Head to @newarkhives after listening to vote on whether these critters deserve a spot on the ark. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Anglerfish: dope or deep sea shit? Rapists or celibate saints? Slave drivers or shining beacons of hope? In the first and only episode of The New Ark not to reference Jurassic Park, we dive into the angry devils that are anglerfish and Saf almost drowns. Do they deserve a spot on the ark?
