Real Gambling Review #1: The betting life

Podcast: Life’s a gamble, but it’s one of the worst bets around. On all known form, you’re a certainty to lose big in the long run. In this new podcast from MMR, Sean and Robin cover the betting waterfront. Episode 1: Stewards’ enquiry on The Circle! Strictly! Scottish football! Racing! And more.

MMR #32: The Cameron Years (and Tories At War)

Podcast: Let’s talk about twats. Starting with David Cameron and his twelve-step plan for certain disaster. Idiots Anonymous in reverse. Plus Gove and Johnson, stalked by the pint-swilling spectre of Farage. Sean and Robin assess the damage. Contains mistakes.

MMR #31: Nostalgia 2: Specials syndrome

Podcast: They’re all on tour, forever – and if they’re not, their tribute acts are. The Specials! The Sweet! Deep Purple! Midge fucking Ure, Cast, the Doors and the Dead! But why? And who are they? Who goes to see them, and do they have anal leakage? Robin and Sean revisit the era of the sticky floor. Contains bum notes.

PUNK: John Lydon and Iggy Pop by Rowan Tallant

MMR #27: Has PUNK got middle-aged cred?

4 Aug 2019 Robin Gibson

Podcast: Punkcast. Yes! Now on Sky Arts you can see the reinflated Iggy Pop, John Lydon and all (some) of Britain’s Favourite Punk Stars wallow in a four-part seminar on PUNK in capital letters. What the hell was it all about? Revolution, evolution, or just swearing? Sean and Robin get ripped. Contains posh sofas.

MMR #26: Interview with Alexa, your household spy

20 Jul 2019 Sean Gollogly

Nick Ferrari on LBC: The dinosaurs were great, but it all went wrong

18 Jul 2019 Misty Whyte

Nick’s outdoor habitat is a petrol-fuelled motor. And the brakes fail on his normally balanced arguments when his inalienable, fundamental, cosmic right to drive to the corner shop for a pint of milk in the pursuit of happiness is threatened with dilution in any way.

Himesh Patel in Yesterday by Rowan Tallant

MMR #25: Who believes in Yesterday?

9 Jul 2019 Robin Gibson

Podcast: It’s Yesterday, it’s now, but the Beatles don’t exist. Neither do Oasis. But what about wit, humour and empathy? Can Richard Curtis and Danny Boyle fit them in? And who’s gonna live forever? Robin and Sean take the long and winding road to the dark heart of the long and winding romcom. Contains karaoke.

Burgled in lawless Britain? Why not report your crime online?

5 Jul 2019 Robin Gibson

You can’t miss that stuff in the Times about the lawless streets of Britain. Apparently the public are in fear. They’re saying the coppers have lost control. Do these people not use the Met Police website? You can now report your crime online. Take control for yourself.

Yesterday: Himesh Patel. Ed Sheeran (Universal)

Letter from America, part ten: Yesterday, yesterday

3 Jul 2019 Ben Diamond

Thank you British films and British actresses. Thank you Lily James and Felicity Jones and Kate Winslet and Emma Watson and Keira Knightley and you too, Audrey Hepburn (born in Belgium, but British to me).
