The Paleface Parabola - 10-06-2026 It was a close call this week. The Mystery Man was playing hurt and he, being a co-essential key in the Parabolic scheme of things, the programme was uncertain. But he, like me, observes the showbiz tradition of ‘if you can walk, you can make the gig’. He walked to Studio A, we had a gig! Party on, world! And a hearty Oooba Doooba for good measure. Speaking for myself, my week would been far less if we lost the opportunity to lay on you the likes of The Rock n Roll Trio featuring Johnny Burnette (the greatest Rockabilly band of all time I submit to you boldly and without fear of contradiction). Adding to the thrills, Ken Nordine, Slim Gaillard’s Quartet, the Mighty Diamonds, The Grip Weeds, and Be Bop Deluxe. The Mystery Man put the cherry on top to finalise the fracas with music from Estonia as supplied by Trad Attack and their punky, spiky joy. Dare I say it? Why not? This week’s tour de farce is more fun than the law should allow. Listen

Equal Agenda Series 4 Ep 6 – Delving into the Manosphere Delving into the Manosphere Romain and Immy dive into the unsettling world of incel culture and the wider “manosphere,” exploring how online spaces can turn loneliness and insecurity into misogyny and control. They look at figures like Andrew Tate to unpack how men are encouraged to dominate and police women’s bodies, framing their behaviour as strength or masculinity. The episode also examines how incel culture, toxic masculinity, and violent extremism often target women, while questioning the difference between misogyny and misandry and challenging myths about patriarchy versus matriarchy.
