Whether you're after smugness-free silliness or wise and considered deconstructions of current events – there's a podcast for that
The problem with topical comedy podcasts is that they often find themselves caught between two poles. They are neither as fast and reactive as Twitter, nor as popular and mainstream as a TV panel show. The secret of a good one, then, is largely down to personality.

But "stand-up comedy's coolest customer", Reginald D Hunter is not most people – and he is determined to bring his searingly honest and brutally funny commentary to his favourite Irish venues.
The Hangover of Bullingdon Club Britain – Byline Times
A s someone who first voted in 1979, I've often warned my younger colleagues at Byline Times that – though it seemed insurmountable – Boris Johnson's apparent lead in the opinion polls was his Achilles heel.

We cannot let Tory minister Nadine Dorries ruin the BBC to save Boris's skin - Annie Brown - Daily
As kids we were allowed to watch only the BBC because my parents insisted commercial TV would rot our brains.
