  19. 17

Well done Miles Jupp. For the final episode of the series we have Sara Pascoe and Charlie Baker. Two hilarious people with a staunch knowledge of obscure news... hopefully. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  24. 12

    Alex Horne, Angelos Epithemiou, Nat Luurtsema and Mark Everitt

    Nat Luurtsema and Angelos Epithemiou join Alex in our very first news special. Not wanting to miss out on the main talking point of last year, we thought we'd reminisce and join the bandwagon, even if it is 11 months too late. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  25. 11

    Alex Horne, Sean Hughes, Katy Wix and Joaquin Phoenix(ish)

    It's a special Anglo-Irish-Welsh edition of the podcast this week as presenter Alex Horne, who hails from West Sussex, is joined by stand-up Sean Hughes (who was born in London, but spent most of his youth in Firhouse, Dublin) and comedian Katy Wix, who you'll recognise from the sitcom Not Going Out but who grew up in Cardiff. Thankfully the team are joined by a Joaquin Phoenix lookalike rather than the real Joaquin Phoenix otherwise it would have been an Anglo-Irish-Welsh-North American themed show, which would have been a bit of a stretch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  26. 10

    Alex Horne, Tim Key, Dan Antopolski and Nigel White

    Tim Key and Dan Antopolski rattle through the news with Alex Horne at the Helm. It's news but not as you know it. Mainly because it's barely news. It's the type of news that you find behind your sofa when looking for your phone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  27. 9

    Alex Horne, Nick Helm, Tony Law and Will Collier

    Nick Helm and Tony Law join Alex in dismantling the week's big news topics; mosquitos, education, long words... yup we've got it all and if that's not enough to keep your earphones in we have a guide to Selby. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  28. 8

    Alex Horne, Miles Jupp, Rob Beckett and Stephen Brown

  29. 7

    Alex Horne, Tim Key, Ardal O’Hanlon and James Alexander-Sinclair

    Tim Key and Ardal O’Hanlon join Alex Horne in our weekly light-hearted exploration of the week’s events - if you imagine that the week’s events are a supermarket aisle - maybe dairy - then we’d be sort of trotting down that aisle, picking up yoghurts, scooting along on the back of the trolley and then occasionally having a proper discussion about which milk to buy - because there is always time for actual opinions on this podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  30. 6

    Alex Horne, Katy Wix, Phil Nichol and Elizabeth Graham

    Katy Wix and Phil Nichol are in the hot seats this week to delve deep into the news from all over the globe in our world news special.

See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  31. 5

    Alex Horne, Dan Antopolski, Rob Beckett and Ben Watkins

    Rob Beckett and Dan Antopolski join Alex to discuss the news this week, although to call it news would be a huge disservice to current affairs. It’s neither current nor affairs driven. It’s like the news equivalent of the reduced section in the supermarket. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  32. 4

    Alex Horne, Ray Peacock, Ed Gamble and Jim Tanner

    Peacock and Gamble join Alex at chez Dave to give him some much needed podcasting advice, they also give their in depth analysis of the Syrian crisis and push bee expert Jim Tanner to the limit of his knowledge. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  33. 3

    Alex Horne, Tony Law, Charlie Baker, William Shaw and a bit of Tim Key

    Alex Horne breaks the news for the second week running and boy does he have some really newsy news for you this week. Last week’s news was good but this week’s is certainly newsier. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  34. 2

    Alex Horne, Miles Jupp, Nick Helm and Frank Witte talk dark matter, North Korea and Michael Jackson's pets

    Alex Horne officially breaks the news for the first time this week and without wanting to blow our own... ok that idiom is probably slightly too specific in this context... but trust us it's a rather splendid podcast with lots of laughs, games and (amusing) analysis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
