If satire is “dying”, explain this!

To make up for the lack of video, here's one from last week where we had our Political Editor Chris Builder (@garethgwynn.bsky.social) on the show to report back on the Reform UK conference - or at least, what he could remember about it. podfollow.com/NonCensored

Due to an epic fail by a certain producer, there's not really much video for NonCensored this week - so here are three old-school audiograms to entice you to listen! Firstly, we hear from the woman who planned the events on Trump's State visit podfollow.com/NonCensored

New NonCensored out now! • Meet the British civil servant tasked with working out what is and isn’t a “genocide” • Eshaan Akbar explains how Ant & Dec were dethroned • Political Editor Chris Builder reports what he can remember from the Reform conference

This is almost literally the premise of "Sound Heap" by @leadmojo.bsky.social except that's a parody

Flag.

a short thread about a podcast i co-produced did something that i think is quite cool

1. In this episode of Muses: An Ampersand Podcast, Dr. Emma Nagouse (BBC Sounds’ You’re Dead To Me) and Dan Smith (Bastille) discuss the lives of Marianne Ihlen and Leonard Cohen. At the end, Emma sets Dan the task of writing a song about Bathsheba, whom David saw “bathing on the roof” in Hallelujah
