S01E04 - Upside Down Britain

from Mash-up: After Hours Podcast · host John J Steemson

In this episode of Mash-up: After Hours, the team takes a brutally honest (and often hilarious) look at the strange, frustrating and downright confusing state of modern Britain. From heated debates over where certain foods should be stored, to the ever-growing rage around parking fines, the conversation quickly spirals into the bigger picture — the state of the prison system, the bizarre ease of achieving so-called “celebrity” status, and the national outrage that is the current price of Mini-Eggs. Alongside the laughs and chaos, the episode takes a more serious turn with the most powerful and personal confession the show has seen so far, before the mood swings back into full entertainment mode with this week’s Head2Head — a fiercely competitive Clare vs Claire showdown. Thought-provoking, funny, emotional and completely unfiltered, Upside Down Britain captures exactly why nothing quite makes sense anymore… and why we can’t stop talking about it.
