EP77. 28 Grab-bags Later: A Satirical Summer Dilly-Dally

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

This episode isn't a grab-bag in the sense of an oversized packet of Monster Munch, but it is a kind of mystery bag of miscellaneous treats that you might grab from a caravan site kiosk during the summer holidays as a child in the 1980s or 90s. What's inside? Stickers? Sherbet? A colourful pencil? A fake tattoo of a Power Ranger? Or a horrible old Moomin? On this occasion it is a bunch of stuff even better than all of those things... In this episode Jo and Adam talk 28 YEARS LATER, and if it is satire; new SQUID GAMES, and if it is satire; new ALAN PARTRIDGE: FROM THE OASTHOUSE, and if it is satire; new SOUTH PARK, and if it is satire; the COLDPLAY KISSING COUPLE, and if they are satire. Jo also tells us about her recent trip to France and the shoes they wore there, and Adam recounts his recent experience delivering a lecture to The Thackeray Society of the Reform Club. And that's not all! Stick your hand in and see what you find, we promise it probably isn't a Moomin.
