EP40. Royal Satire: Platinum Jubilee Satire Review Special

from Smith & Waugh Talk About Satire · host Talk About Satire

Did you have a good street party this weekend? Did you get tangled up in bunting? Did you wrestle with a gazebo? Did your neighbor try to start a conga? Did you encounter a Platinum Pudding Maker? No, neither did Adam and Jo. As the nation is strongly encouraged to partake in a frenzy of patriotic worship and monarchical affirmation, Jo and Adam consider the long tradition in British Royal Satire (dating back, of course, to the eighteenth century) before  picking out a couple of key satirical moments from the jubilee celebrations (and their immediate aftermath).
