“The Now Show portion of the podcast is hosted by Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis, and has a stand-up comedy format based on the current affairs of the week. It’s amusing, but I do find that it can be a little variable, depending on the particular guest comics that week. It has a tendency to try a little too hard. However, when it’s good, it’s very very good so still well worth the listen.
At the moment, however, we are being graced with The News Quiz. Hosted by Sandi Toksvig, it’s ostensively a quiz show where panelists have to guess the current news story given some rather cryptic clues. In practise, scoring is completely arbitrary and it’s just an excuse for the very best of cutting wit and irreverent humour. Add to that, unintentionally funny press cuttings from around the country read in a completely deadpan voice by Radio 4 newsreaders and you pretty much have the perfect comedy show.
WARNING: do not attempt to listen on a personal mp3 player while travelling on public transport. Other passengers will think you completely utterly insane as you burst into hysterical laughter every few minutes.”

In the meantime just enjoy the brilliant News...”Read full review »
