“Previously on world war 3…”
I have to fight about getting people the same day all the time. There’s a trend to record people on single mics in isolated booths now and the art really suffers.
Lovely to hear good feedback!
Here is this week's episode of #TheSkewer which features a little something from us about the Greatest Showman Farage and his circus of freaks. (The sound team have done an INCREDIBLE job with the music for it)

Oh, weird. Maybe sounds only goes back 5 years. Doh.
So we made the first episode of #TheSkewer 6 years ago. And now, 14 Series, numerous radio awards (we’ve seriously lost count) and a BAFTA nomination (yeah I know it’s not even TV!) later, you can hear every single episode on @bbcsounds, including this week’s. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
🗡️ The Skewer is back tonight at 11:15pm on @BBCRadio4 & @BBCSounds.
This week it’s all about oil: Trump wants the life-giving Spice, Grok wanders into the Upside Down, and Countryfile’s photo contest sees some unusual entries.
🎧 Headphones recommended.

Episode 3 of No-Platformed floats onto Radio 4 tonight at 23.15. Episode 4 has been delayed indefinitely by stupid Christmas, so 3 is your lot for now. Contains surface water, stupid jokes about spelling, and a badly behaved Formula 1 pit crew. You know. Normal stuff. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...
I never saw the original, but that’s an excellent line.
Go and sit on the chair in the corridor until first break!
That was a fun project

Digital things I would pay money for…
a) an ad blocker but for all AI generated content.
b) an ad blocker but for stores about Lily Allen and David Harbour.
Flags near me. If you’re gonna pretend to be patriotic you should probably learn which way up the flag goes. 🤦
I’m wondering what headphones you’re using in the steam room?
I’ve been making satire many years and while it does seem to help some people with pathos and catharsis, I’m sceptical as to whether is makes much difference to society.
Delighted to wind back the clock and slip into this week's #TheSkewer. It's like slipping into your favourite uncle. Still the best 15 minutes of noise out there by an absolute sodding mile. Listen and weep. 📻 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Not this week. I think that’s my ever crunching of the credits to fit them into an even number of musical beats!
