Well, this is a lovely surprise. Next month* there will be another chance to hear a show I wrote called No-Platformed which I assumed had been consigned to audio oblivion. As I recall, it contains quite a lot of strange jokes. 📻 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

BBC Radio 4 - No-Platformed
Comedy that drives a train through sitcom-land via a platform crowded with silly jokes.

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family?
It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

Streisand Effect in action with this online age verification thing. I've just found out what "porn" is (pictures of people shagging!!) and it's brilliant. A real own goal for Keir Starmer if you ask me. But don't bother asking me, I'll be too busy enjoying "porn"! 😎

Final #DeadRingers for this series in the can. Yes, the audience made *that* uncomfortable laugh noise at a couple of points. Here’s what the live recording looks like in pretty colours form. Second pic is waveform of *that* uncomfortable laugh noise. Hear the results 6.30pm #Radio4

It’s a three way tie between Groove is in the Heart (makes me want to kill), that abomination about being gorgeous by Babybird, and Jump Around because of the noise it makes like stabbed horses.
Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

Ep 5 of the current #DeadRingers #BBCRadio4 very much on the way at 6.30. Yes, the audience made *that* noise again. Also, just to clarify in advance - no real puppies were harmed by our Prime Minister kicking them.

New #DeadRingers coming your way at 6.30, #BBCRadio4. Some of the subject material made the audience make *that* ‘oh god they went there’ noise. Yes, I have left them in the edit.

Never mind the Bob Vylan / Kneecap controversy, there’s genuinely something v funny about the BBC live streaming Olivia Rodrigo and the director cutting to close ups of 13 year old girls screaming ‘I still fucking love you’ down the barrel. Fair play. She’s really good as well. #glastonbury2025

Scrooge paled. The shadow that befell him was long and dark.
"Spirit." He said. "I was warned of your arrival, the third of three. Know that I do not fear you, but I beg that you show me a wise and better future-"
He paused.
"Oh wait. It's some fucking bins jesus christ."
