Show overview
One Footer in the Grave has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 19 episodes. That works out to roughly 15 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 48 min and 55 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Comedy show.
The show is still active — the most recent episode landed 2 months ago, though releases have slowed compared with earlier in the run. Published by Paul Boag, Andy Clarke, Jon Hicks, and Marcus Lillington.
From the publisher
With one foot in the door of their retirement home for senior web designers, Paul Boag, Andy Clarke, Jon Hicks, and Marcus Lillington get together once a month to distract eachother from everyday life and work. The show’s funny and frivolous and the chaps have a genuinely unique chemistry which will entertain you if you work on the web and even if you don’t.
Latest Episodes

Three podcasts for the price of one. One Footer in The Grave, Troika, and Unfinished Business. In this special crossover episode, Andy, Jon, and Marcus are joined by Rich Rutter to discuss which three tracks they’d want with them if they were marooned on a deserted planet.
Ep 18The dot of shame

Ep 17A possible logo emergency
Andy, Jon, Marcus, and Paul are back for another silly episode. They talk about Paul’s new caravan, Andy’s semi-retirement, and Marcus giving up beer.

Ep 16Contorted in a Nissan Qashqai
Back after their summer break, the four chaps decide whether each other’s improbable stories are a lie or the truth. Jon talks about his new car, Andy brings up his gout, and neither are at all cross about Paul and Marcus restarting the Boagworld podcast. This episode of One Footer in the Grave is appropriately sponsored by Allopurinol, the gout medication for when your big toe hurts like a b@stard.
Ep 15Vote for me or the baby gets it
It’s UK General Election time and the chaps have gathered to discuss it, but without mentioning politics. What would their top policies be if they were running for office?

Andy tells his story about being in the audience for BBC Question Time and the strange tale of designing for an intergalactic space warrior.
Ep 14Scarlett Johansson is in the room
>Andy, Jon, Marcus, and Paul are back—sooner than expected—for another fun-packed episode.

Then, inevitably, they discuss what they think about the new Dr Who.
Ep 13Votre saucisse est très plastique
The nerds of a feather are back for another episode. They talk about whether social media is now either dead or useless for promoting our work and whether old-fashioned email is replacing it. Paul explains his monthly newsletter strategy and how, for him, it’s replaced social media. Then, the boys discuss what they should do next, as they’ve (obviously) reached the pinnacle of their careers.
Ep 12Roasted Chestnuts with the Dreamtime Electric Blanket
The intention was that this would be our Festive episode. We get there eventually, but only once we've finished discussing:Andy's new Dreamtime Electric Blanket, the sponsor of the showThe new Dr Who - What do think? Were they right to change Davros? Andy's shock DNA test results means he's not who he thought he was.Marcus's intense suffering at earning lots of money.Jon's Festive Sandwich Reviews Fact check footnote: Jon mistakenly pronounces 'Ncuti' as 'Chooty' rather than 'Shooty')It was Jo Grant (not Sarah Jane) that was in The Green Death, but it wasn't her first story (that was Terror of the Autons)
Ep 11A thing for Bouvier des Flandres
In this delayed-release episode (recorded in May 2023), the chaps talk about Paul and Andy's joint seven week adventure in Recreation Vehicles around the United States of America earlier in the year. Did they fight or fall out? Or did they get along just fine in a way that doesn't make very entertaining listening? Paul also gets to witness a 'Malarkey Regeneration' first hand!
Ep 10AI talks to my wife
It’s a new year, the year of artificial things. In this episode, the four chaps talk about artificial intelligence and artificial hips. Andy has a (painful) bone to pick with Paul but all he got in response was an AI-written apology. Finally, the talk Mastodon and why it’s better than Twitter.

After a fabulous summer of fun, the four fellas are back with an extra-long episode. Even though it’s only October, they talk about Christmas and Andy’s plan to escape to Costa Rica.

Ep 6Savoy cabbage and the kalettes
