In this week's episode, Anna and Maiy discuss the whirlwind 24 hours in global politics where James Comey, FBI Director until his recent firing by President Trump, gave his Senate inquiry testimony into Russian hacking, while Jeremy Corbyn took the UK election by storm becoming the biggest winner of the UK election -- without actually winning it. Then in our second segment, reflecting on our enjoyment of Comey/Corbyn, we discuss politics as entertainment.
In this week's episode, Anna and Maiy discuss the changing fortunes of Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert's respective late-night shows. Once the new King of Late Night, since the change in US President, Stephen Colbert has taken the mantle as #1. And then, in our second segment, we discuss what 'apolitical' even means, and how the term 'political' is often mistaken for the 'partisan'.

And then in the second segment, we talk about female-led comedy more generally, discussing our favourite movies from Bad Teacher to Bad Neighbours 2, to romantic comedy classics like When Harry Met Sally and My Best Friend's Wedding, to why we think Julia Louis-Drefyus is an absolute boss.

In this episode, Anna and Maiy discuss the Royal Announcement That Wasn't: how Buckingham Palace calling a staff meeting lead to rampant speculation of royal deaths and the rather anticlimactic announcement that Prince Philip was retiring from public duty. And then in the second segment, we talk about the British Royal Family more generally. Anna discusses her hopes for Prince Harry to be the one who is 'winning at Prince-ing', and they both discuss why neither want Prince Charles to abdicate to let Prince William be King.

In this episode, Anna and Maiy are joined by Eleri Harris to discuss the latest podcast from the folks who made This American Life and Serial: S-Town. (Be warned though: if you haven't listened to S-Town yet, give this episode a miss as we discuss the podcast in its entirety and spoil everything.) Then, in our second segment, we're supposedly talking about ethics in journalism. Instead, Anna rips in to the Missing Richard Simmons podcast, while Maiy and Eleri rescue the segment and actually discuss ethics in journalism. Disclosure statement: The Missing Richard Simmons podcast was part-financed by First Look Media. First Look Media also own The Nib, Eleri Harris' employer. The Nib and Eleri Harris had no involvement in the production of the Missing Richard Simmons podcast.

In this episode, Anna and Maiy talk about Riverdale, the CW show loosely based on the Archie and Jughead comic book characters, what we liked and disliked, and why is Luke Perry playing the father of teenage children? And then in our second segment, inspired by the very different financial circumstances each of the Riverdale gang find themselves in, we reflect on times in our lives where we've been in different income brackets to our own friendship groups.
