  • Trains, planes and autocracies – The Starmer World Tour

    Trains, planes and autocracies – The Starmer World Tour
    Nov 22 2024
    • Get your tickets to our live show at the Comedy Store on Tue 10 Dec here! Keir Starmer’s global adventures have grabbed headlines – and while some think he should spend more time at home, others say he's doing what he needs to do to revive the UK’s international image. Our panel wades into the debate. Plus, is local media dead and buried or can upstarts revive it? Jim Waterson was the Media Editor for The Guardian before setting up London Centric, a “modern outlet for London”. Can you have a healthy national media without strong local roots? And in the Extra Bit for Subscribers, Trump 2.0 is the sequel nobody wanted. We discuss sequels that were actually good to distract our minds from the story unfolding in the US.

    What comes after the Age of Twitter?
    Nov 19 2024
    • Get your tickets for our Christmas Live Show on Tue 10 Dec at the Comedy Store London. The X-odus continues – but if we all quit the platform everyone still calls Twitter, are we handing a powerful social media engine to the worst of the far-right? Donald Trump continues to make cabinet appointments “so appalling they seem like performance art”. We get updates on the nightmarish backgrounds of Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK. And do elections now simply mean punishment beatings for incumbents? Former Daily Mirror editor Alison Phillips is our special guest. Support us on Patreon to get early access to all our live tickets plus mugs, t-shirts and more. Presented by Andrew Harrison with Rachel Cunliffe and Matt Green. Audio production by Simon Williams. Theme music by Cornershop. Produced by Chris Jones. Managing Editor: Jacob Jarvis. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison.

    Injustice League: Trump and Badenoch recruit their minions
    Nov 14 2024
    Get your tickets to our 10th December live show at the Comedy Store here! Trump has started to appoint his evil minions to his cabinet – and we take a breath to look at Badenoch’s new gang back home too. Andy Kroll, investigative reporter for ProPublica and author of A Death on W Street: The Murder of Seth Rich and the Age of Conspiracy, joins the panel to talk through the US side of things, and Dorian, Jonn and Zoe get into the UK news. And, in the Extra Bit for Subscribers, how do you deal with the emotional impact of losing an election? (PS. We recorded this on Wednesday afternoon at 4.30pm, so we were just before the Matt Gaetz news...) We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow And, we’re on BlueSky now too.
