How to make politics funny: With Matt Chorley and Graeme Bandeira

Have you ever wondered how award-winning cartoonist Graeme Bandeira comes up with his ideas for this weekly dose of satire in the Northern Agenda newsletter? There have been some crackers in the last year - Environment Secretary Therese Coffey dancing down Redcar beach surrounded by dead crabs, Nadine Dorries throwing her toys out of the pram after not getting a peerage and Michael Gove and Rishi Sunak stripping down to the bare essentials as they re-enacted the Full Monty in Sheffield. This week on the podcast you can go behind the scenes as we record the weekly cartoon conference Graeme holds with Northern Agenda Editor Rob Parsons.  And as a special guest to help come up with this week's cartoon, we've got none other than Matt Chorley, one of the country's very top political journalists, a presenter on Times Radio - including a podcast called Politics Without the Boring Bits - and a comedian whose show Poll Dancer about politics is touring next month and includes some dates up North. You can check out the finished product they come up with on Friday lunchtime in the newsletter - sign up at www.thenorthernagenda.co.uk. Learn more about your ad choices.
