Silent scandal of cancer-linked drug used in forced adopt... Public inquiry called over forced adoptions and women exposed to the synthetic hormone DES

We covered an important (and upsetting) story on the last Radio 4 #TheNakedWeek of the series, all about forced adoption and a drug called DES. You can read about it in @theobserveruk.bsky.social today, written by our very own @catneilan.bsky.social.

Would you like an award-winning mash up of news and pop culture to deal with the current shitshow that the world is in? Well you’re in luck as a BRAND NEW series of #TheSkewer starts tonight 11.15 on BBC Radio 4. Also BBC Sounds. Enjoy.

It’s nothing to do with that.

One of my favourite moments on the late lamented The 'The One Show' Show podcast was @jonholmes.bsky.social observing the appearance of Walliams "sporting a beard that somebody else has grown for him"

Genuine one of my favourite things I’ve made. All hail the team.

Vocal noises by the tremendous Ali Mardell, @gmcgiv.bsky.social, @timdownie.bsky.social, Naomi McDonald, @jakeyapp.bsky.social and Hugh Dennis, tweaked by @tonychurnside.bsky.social and prodded by @jonholmes.bsky.social. Listen to (almost) the whole silly saga for a limited time on BBC Sounds. 📻

BBC Sounds - No-Platformed - Available Episodes Listen to the latest episodes of No-Platformed on BBC Sounds.

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...

Christmas has truly arrived.

SNITCH!

V pleased to win a couple of awards at last night’s Audio Production Award #APAs. Gold for comedy and Silver for the cancer series me and Laura Grimshaw made for Radio 4!

BBC Radio 4 - No-Platformed Comedy that drives a train through sitcom-land via a platform crowded with silly jokes.

Well, this is a lovely surprise. Next month* there will be another chance to hear a show I wrote called No-Platformed which I assumed had been consigned to audio oblivion. As I recall, it contains quite a lot of strange jokes. 📻 www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

*assuming the BBC makes it to December

Back in January…

TONIGHT- 6.30pm - #TheNakedWeek only bloody well welcomes actual TAYLOR SWIFT to the show as recorded last night in London.

Think they might want to rephrase this

In personal (work) news I’m directing the Dead Ringers 25th Anniversary Live Tour - and tonight we open in Brighton. Very much looking forward to it. Dates here, if you fancy fieryentertainment.com/our-shows/de...

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family?

It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

A bit from last night’s #TheSkewer on Radio 4: The Magic St George Roundabouts.

Full ep www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

BBC Radio 4 - The Skewer, Series 14, Ep 1 - Jet 2 Migrant Holidays, The Magic Patriotic Roundabout, and a Putin Loop. Jon Holmes remixes the news into a satirical current affairs concept album.

Brand new series of the award-winning satirical comedy #TheSkewer starts tonight on BBC Radio 4, 11.15pm. Expect the news, all remixed. *checks news to see if there is any* (also BBC Sounds)

S6E11 - Surprise Suicide Squad, Brunioli Toniolio and Alex Tases Gyles Brandreth Podcast Episode · The The One Show Show · 27/10/2021 · 44m

This morning’s random episode of TTOSS featured a collapsing sofa, anti-entertainment and an all-child “suicide squad” @jonholmes.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

This irked me, too. But the ‘the’ doesn’t work either, for me. Should’ve been just

COP: Miranda rights?
DREBIN: “I’m pretty sure…” etc.

If you’re in Edinburgh, go see Robin. He’s one if those ‘excellent comedians’ you sometimes hear about.

Streisand Effect in action with this online age verification thing. I've just found out what "porn" is (pictures of people shagging!!) and it's brilliant. A real own goal for Keir Starmer if you ask me. But don't bother asking me, I'll be too busy enjoying "porn"! 😎

Surely SURELY she did not say this? Way to go, Ofcom.

Final #DeadRingers for this series in the can. Yes, the audience made *that* uncomfortable laugh noise at a couple of points. Here’s what the live recording looks like in pretty colours form. Second pic is waveform of *that* uncomfortable laugh noise. Hear the results 6.30pm #Radio4

The sound mix is incredible though. (Not so much Bono’s boots)

It’s a three way tie between Groove is in the Heart (makes me want to kill), that abomination about being gorgeous by Babybird, and Jump Around because of the noise it makes like stabbed horses.
