Dead Ringers

Seriously, it’s the only one I have listened to, and it is top tier comedy
Continues it’s race to the bottom.

Alan Coren was funny. Richard Ingrams was funny. Jeremy Hardy was funny. The News Quiz panels these days don’t even make me smile. A sad indictment of what used to be Radio 4.
Have listened for years and love it.

Just wish I could still listen on BBC Sounds so that I could hear it the week it airs.

It’s consistently a good podcast, and Andy Zaltsman is an amazing host.
Clever, funny, you barely notice there's serious journalism here

They do a wonderful job of explaining political corruption and important but vital aspects of UK politics without you even realising because you are so busy laughing.
